@@ТолянАлексеев-ф4гhe isn't posting, so let me tell you about the one I started. I started with a 8l carboy and added 3kg of natural honey (better quality honey=better taste), after adding yeast I kept it near a heat source so that it maintained a temp. of 30°c. I started noticing activity in my airlock the next day. After 2 weeks the activity in the airlock slowed, only one bubble in a minute or two, then I decided to rack it. It's now in secondary phase and I'll bottle it maybe next month. I also started a new 20l batch today using 5kg honey and 5kg of black grapes. I'll let you know how it turns out.
My first attempt at mead is almost done, its currently in the aging process. I taste tested it today and its actually coming a long nicely! There were definitely mistakes, like even with the stopper and airlock it was still overflowing a lot those first few days of fermentation but I'm happy its still tasting good. I went ambitious and made a spiced cranberry sauce and orange mead with a white clover honey and as its aged the orange and cranberry are really coming through with this nice undertone of Christmas spices. Though I think all the added sugars might have made it a bit more than 15%
I’m interested to know about the yeast nutrient and when I should add it, also should I add vanilla extract before or after the fermentation process. Thanks man love your vids!
Im interested in a cost breakdown for initial setup and the continual cost of materials etc. a side by side comparison of cheap ingredients vs mid tier vs expensive would be helpful too.
Hey! I think it would be great if you made a cheap version so people can try it and see if they would like to try it! Cheap Honey, fruit, and equipment. Of course nothing that will harm anyone
Hey, I was wondering where you got your labels made at? I’ve been fermenting and brewing my own meads for almost a year now, and want more professional labels like these, and was curious where you got them from
My biggest question about all of your videos is what you use for labels. They look gloss printed, yet you can change the ABV on it? Teach me your ways.
How long does it take to clear? Is it safe to consume if not clear? This is all hypothetical but say I recieve some guests who wants to try but it hasn'r fully cleared yet? Will it taste bad or just not optimal? Is it safe? I'm sure it depends from batch to batch but how long should we expect to wait for it to clear. Are we talking 1-2 months? Half a year? A year+?
Thanks for the awesome videos! I recently purchased the recipe book from you and am having some issues accessing it. Would you please be able to help me out? Can’t wait to get started on my first batch!
@@ysup8674 I’m worried about making something that would be toxic or maybe the Al hole just ruins the weed part of it , or negates the effects from the weed infused honey, not worth doing if it doesn’t work lol
The method I use is pour 1kg honey into a 4.5 litre (one gallon) demijohn. Add boiling water to just below the top of the demijohn and stir well to ensure all the honey is dissolved. Then add one teaspoon of yeast and one teaspoon of yeast nutrient. Put the airlock on and keep the demijohn in a warm place for about three weeks then transfer to bottles. It will probably not taste good enough to drink straight away so keep in bottles for another three weeks or so. Hope this helps.
@@oliverxd1770 Lol, totally forgot about this. Yeah it was good, thought it wuld be sweeter but it was not bad at all. Too bad you have to wait so long but worth the price for sure.
Can you do a in depth video to show everything you do please and if you could, please explain how to add nutrients :)
I would also appreciate a video like this!
@@hcfgaming401same bro
Yeah want the whole process documented
He has a recipe book with details for purchase if you buy the delux any new recipes and updates will be added to the ebook for free
yup, seems cool. he should do fermentation videos just showing what he does. adding oak chips and other things 😮❤
I have my first batch of mead fermenting now. Blackberry Orange. The yeast are extremely active and healthy so I think this is going to turn out great
How's it going? What's the timeframe?
Update?
How is it?

Ooo that sounds amazing to have for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas! I'll have to try that in the future
@@seraphi3387 After letting it age just a couple months it tasted great, too much orange but that's a simple mistake
Great video! Everything I wanted to know in a minute 20 seconds without any stupidity! Thank you!
I’m starting 18 gallons of pear wine and using orange blossom honey also. Really hope to have some of the honey push through with great flavor.

Use raw and unfiltered honey. Don’t buy whatever honey you find on the shelf. Use real honey, not ones with added sugars and artificial flavors.
There are beekeepers local to me who sell the raw unfiltered honey, so when I make mead, that should be good enough, right?
@@RileyPierce_Yep. Don’t buy it if it’s been heated up to be in liquid form again after it’s crystallized, that means it’s pasteurized.
@@RileyPierce_it’s the best option period

Golden Hive Mead: "I've linked all the equipment I've been using."
Me: "Thanks man, looks fun to do!"
Description: "..."
Thanks anyways though😅.
It’s linked in my channel bio but I can add it to the description as well
Hy I.m Mariano from pucon Chile. I ask u, You don't heat they mead?

"It has an oaky afterbirth"
Yo 😂😂😂
My biggest question about all of your videos is what you use for labels. They look gloss printed, yet you can change the ABV on it? Teach me your ways.
Stupid question. What is the glass tool used to pull out mead/wine to taste or to use an alcohol meter?
How long does it take to clear? Is it safe to consume if not clear? This is all hypothetical but say I recieve some guests who wants to try but it hasn'r fully cleared yet? Will it taste bad or just not optimal? Is it safe? I'm sure it depends from batch to batch but how long should we expect to wait for it to clear. Are we talking 1-2 months? Half a year? A year+?
idk😢
I need a longer video in depth of every thing .....am i asking too much
For the air lock are you just using water or do you have some alcohol in it to stop any bugs from getting in?
Is there a way to mead the same mead but without alcohol?
If I drink this wine, will I too be able to talk at three times normal speed?
What do you use to make your labels? A website or some type of label printer?
Can you explain more about the aging process?
Orange and orange blossom are two very very different things.
What happen if you didnt move to 2nd container and let it ripe in 1st container?
What yeast would you recommend for an 8%to12% abv strawberry mead
Thanks for the awesome videos! I recently purchased the recipe book from you and am having some issues accessing it. Would you please be able to help me out? Can’t wait to get started on my first batch!
Can I use a grapes, cedar or natural grape juice that we can buy it from supermarket to do the same this recipe?
Can I use sirap or Maplesirap instead of Honey?
Can you just add sugar to make it sweeter?
Are there any methanol concerns in that process?
Please do a video covering all the mistakes @Kingcobrajfs has been doing with his mead!
I second this. The boy needs to be shown how to make Mead or hes gonna die from Bogulism.
Cool
Thanks. Can the deposited yeast be used at all for further fermentation?
Definitely not
where do you store it ? does it need to be in the dark ?
You dont sanitize oranges at all?
What happens if I use alcohol instead of water?
So guys i'm trying this for the first time, is there any bad signs that i need to look out for? I dont feel like sending my family to hospital.
Would this work with sugar
What could I substitute the airlock with?
How do I store the wine while it's brewing?
What happens if you use weed or marijuana infused honey?
That’s actually a good question
@@ysup8674 it is cause I’ll make some if it’s worth it , I got a lot of weed honey
@@ysup8674 I’m worried about making something that would be toxic or maybe the Al hole just ruins the weed part of it , or negates the effects from the weed infused honey, not worth doing if it doesn’t work lol
@@spudwashington3880 yeah that crossed my mind too, but only way to find out is to try it i guess
I'd like to know
Make a video on how to get rid of methanol
Gentleman if honey is one kg then how much water and Yeast We can add
The method I use is pour 1kg honey into a 4.5 litre (one gallon) demijohn. Add boiling water to just below the top of the demijohn and stir well to ensure all the honey is dissolved. Then add one teaspoon of yeast and one teaspoon of yeast nutrient. Put the airlock on and keep the demijohn in a warm place for about three weeks then transfer to bottles.

Where can I buy your product

TMDWU Toobs
We need more details and explanations
A 1.5 litre bottle is just $13.00 at the liquor store.
you can make about 4 liters with a 13 dollar jar of honey
This man’s gonna kill someone 💀

Slow down bro. There's hardly any difference between your Shorts and Videos.
You are ruining the taste
I notice you had a lot of headspace after you rack. Does that affect anything?
