Thanks for all your videos they are always inspiring. Ive attempted this mead several times and found fortified with a coconut rum or 99 coconuts was key
Thanks for making this
Really Enjoyed Your Video , Thanks ! 🐯🤠
That inspiring video, cheers
This is such a fun idea! I am prepping a Manhattan mead.
Ooh that sounds good!
I worked several times with coconuts. I made a coconut stout, boiled a large amount of toasted coconut chips for 15 min and at bottling, I added a tincture made in vodka. The chips will release some oil, the trick is to filter the tincture, leave in in the freezer and decant the liquid before the oil becomes liquid again.
Oils are definitely something to be concerned with... luckily I didn't deal with that here!
I feel like the way to go is to make a coconut brew, and a separate pineapple brew, and then mix to taste after fermentation.
You would still have to fortify with rum to get that flavor in there.
City Steading did this the other day before this but not the same way so it’s interesting to see how the different ones come out.
Interesting! I’d love to try theirs!
I used coconut water and pineapple juice, but it took a solid 9 months to get good and then it was really good. Also put toasted coconut in secondary, but still not a strong coconut flavor.
I'm always concerned about oil coming out from any coconut meat. Not world ending...but annoying. You're right that fermented coconut water needs time and then it's great!
9 months is a long time to wait for something that might not turn out great!
@@ManMadeMead 9 months is too long to wait for a beverage that normally takes a year to age. Right...got it.
@@tropicallybrewing It doesn’t seem that you trust my opinion on this and that’s fair. A lot of this comes down to opinion and experience. I’m going off my experience and the experiences of trusted friends around me on this!
Could you boil the coconut chips and use that water as the water for your brew? Or would that be the same problem as the coconut water?
Maybe! I don’t really know what that would do to the taste though!
@@ManMadeMead I could be wrong, but I think coconut water is the water out of the nut itself, isn’t it? I was thinking, when I make banana wine, I boil the bananas and reduce the water to get banana “essence”, basically. I throw the bananas away. I was wondering if you could do the same with coconut.
i like getting caught in the rain
haha, wtf, 2 channels i follow dropping a pina colada mead vid on the same day
Crazy!
Would coconut essence work?
Maybe!
I’ve seen another recipe that uses coconut water and pineapple juice as the primary with 3 lbs of honey. They had good results apparently-does the concentrate have much fat in it? Can lead to some bad results. Gonna give your recipe a try. Good video!
Mine didn’t have any fat in it! Coconut water just adds weird flavors and isn’t worth it!
@@ManMadeMead I wonder if aging will mellow some of the weird flavors
As someone who has fermented coconut water a number of times, it always ends up tasting salty on the other end. It’s full of electrolytes. I wouldn’t trust a recipe that suggests using coconut water, personally.
City Steading Brews have just released their piña colada mead, made with just pineapple juice, coconut water and I think 2 pounds of honey, for one gallon.
They liked it. 🤷
I also tried brewing with coconut water in the past in a couple of different versions of tropical meads and also had bad experience with it.
@@alexlarsen6413 yeah-that’s the one I was talking about.
"This video will probably come out in the summer or October." *"Wonders when am I?" *
I think the pressed coconut water was the issue; CSB did a recipe using pineapple juice and C2O Coconut Water and it was clear, not cloudy.
I’d be interested to try theirs and compare! Maybe the CSB can convince them to collaborate with me!
@@ManMadeMeadYou'll likely have to travel to FL to do that ;)
First 🥇
Hey Man Made Mead! How much potassium meta and potassium sorbate should I add per gallon? I’ve read mixed things but I trust your opinion
1/2 tsp of sorbate & 1 gram of metabisulfite per gallon is what I normally do!
@@ManMadeMead awesome thank you!
Love the video, but as a friend I feel the need to tell you penultimate is second to the ultimate.
One day I'll learn! Haha
What about a coconut extract? Surely someone makes one? Or making your own extract?
That might work!
The Woman Made Mead vote 😂
You guys talk to CSB? They just released a pina colada mead video.
We didn’t plan it! I’d love to try theirs though!
@@ManMadeMead Maybe that should be your next video :)
An interesting note: they bulk pasteurized their brew and they said it "faux aged" it in that it seemed to alter the flavor somewhat. It seemed to taste better to them after that.
I'm curious: Did you get a weird "funk" out of the young fermentation of your mead like CSB talked about, and how long did yours sit/age before we got the taste test from you and WMM?
I did Coconut blossom honey, shredded Coconut and frozen pineapple in mine. I thought it was good, but it's awful hard to replicate an actual Pina Colada.
Where did you find coconut blossom honey?!?!?!?!?!?!
@osutuba Wao Kele Honey out of Hawaii. It's seasonal I think but they have all kinds of interesting honey, and it's priced right. He also has vanilla beans, flavoring kits, and some other stuff. Good guy, fast shipping too. He even sent me a Christmas card.
Lactose for a creamy taste 🤔
Maybe?!
Why not use the concentrate with real pineapple to strengthen that flavor so it’s not so coconut forward?
He's 100% wrong about coconut water and it shows he didn't age these long enough before tasting. I've used coconut water several times and it's my favorite secret ingredient. BUT! You gotta wait. 9 months minimum. I nearly dumped a batch of coconut water mead once because it was so bad young, but when I came back to it later it got rave reviews from everyone who tried it. Use coconut water, it's awesome!
I very well could be wrong! But I do know that I made a recipe that churns out in 2 - 3 months... waiting 9 months for something that might or might not turn out good isn't really something I'm interested in!
