Great book, It is written how a millennial's writes stuff compared to older generations. Straight to the point with the info of multiple books and best known practices in the field. I am relatively new to the scene but I have a great master brewer friend that has gotten me into mead making and shared all his secrets of 25 years of making mead and I have to say that this book has alot of them in it. :) Been playing around with some of the recipes so far it has been great.
Color correcting might help. Blue and purple food dye or butterfly pea blossom (depending on the pH). I used the pea blossom as a concentrated tea to color correct a milk punch to clear in the glass
I'm not surprised about the color. I was hoping to learn new techniques to get rid of the colors... I've used liquid charcoal, bentonite and gelatin. Those works great to strip color. If you use liquid charcoal, add the flavorings after the racking of the sediment.
Yeah, unfortunately none of the fining agents seemed to really strip much of the color out. As I keep iterating, I will probably focus mostly on the honey and cinnamon elements for trying to get it clearer.
Interesting recipe. I wonder If you could use seltzer carbonated water and lemon juice to substitute for the phosphoric acid when inverting the sucrose?
Top notch video! It seems you have been brewing this idea for a while, pun intended! Crazy idea here, have you thought about air still a bunch of cola and used it as an ingredient in your brew?
Vaccuum filter, pressure filter, distill, use something like bleach, centruguge - I think it will depend on how far you want to take the path to crystal clear

Sage honey from flying bee is super light in color. I wonder how light the mead would be
I never thought you could make Crystal Pepsi as brewing lol
Would worked on ciders in your recipes?
Hahah I made a joke about trying something like this and come to find out you actually did it. Bravo BC!
This is great! Love the nostalgia fix combined with homebrewing. Acacia is such a great honey too. Yum!!
I wonder if you carbon filtered the seltzer before you add the syrup, if that would strip some more color.
I was also kind of wondering what would happen if I used dextrose instead of cane sugar.
Rock over London, rock on Chicago! Di-- Crystal Pepsi, uh-huh!
Great video 🎉
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you named it Crystal BEPIS on the recipe card!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

I see all of Crystal Pepsi's fans made it here
There are dozens of us, dozens!

The zest is likely contributing some color as well
Yeah I do lemoncello and the zest adds a lot of color, the essence can be distilled though, and it comes out clear
Didn't see the video yet but hope you carbonize this! :)
Definitely did!

Crystal Pepsi was dope. It’s funny to think that cola is basically mulled citrus soda😅
Machicolations!
