    Can really see your production value increasing in this video. I did a dry traditional a while back that came out good using kveik, but I'm thinking of switching to a Belgian abbey yeast to really push the spicy notes to match a honey I have easy access to. Dry trads I think are just fun. I normally serve them chilled for 20 minutes like a white wine, and I think it helps express the charcters a little better.

    What's amazing is I'm watching Top Chef Portland world wide competition on TV and the focus today is cooking with Mead and Honey. Pretty cool

    Have you ever tasted a mead aged in Terracotta? The Brimming Horn brewery (Milton, DE) makes a batch aged 12 months, very unique taste.

    • @riukrobu
      @riukrobu Рік тому +2

      Terracotta allows micro oxygenation like barrels, while being completely neutral, unlike barrels which impart also tannins and flavors.

      I'm a regular at Brimminghorn, they're always making interesting stuff. Love their meads, they inspired me to branch out into mead making from beer brewing.

    Here in Australia, Most of our honey comes from gum trees(Eucalypts) they tend to be quite astringent.We do not have the luxury of choosing your honey

    I've had a traditional honey mead ageing for about five months now and I'd like to know, if it smells alcoholic does that mean it's safe to drink? I thought it was a bad batch at first but now I'm kinda curious

    I’m a beekeeper in Oregon and I have some honeys that I think are pretty good. Would like some input on which honeys would be best for mead-making and which types of mead would be best for a given honey varietal. Do you accept honey donations in exchange for honey feedback? :)

      Noted. Need to do some bottling and get a website built. Then I’ll send. The honey supers are sorted and extracted in batches according to floral source: spring flowering trees, spring/blackberry, blackberry, blackberry/linden.

      I haven't done a tasting on video since, but I have off camera and it's aging really well! The alcohol presence is mellowing so it is a whole lot smoother.

    I'm relatively new to mead making and am wondering if this would be considered a hydromel?

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  Рік тому +2

      Nope! A hydromel is a strength of mead (normally 8% and lower). This is a "standard" mead in strength!
