  • This recipe can be scaled down for one-gallon, but we brew it up as 5-gallons in this video! This cherry limeade-inspired session mead balances slight cherry flavor and heavy lime soda alongside a pop of honey to create a lovely, crushable, hydromel experience. Best kegged, but totally could be bottle conditioned. Enjoy!

    I appreciate your contributions to the mead-making community. Being gifted a mead kit for Christmas, I have been scouring the internet / UA-cam for info on mead-making. In your opinion, what other UA-cam presenters focus on mead-making, and what books for someone just starting?

    I make something similar w/o cherry. Feedback has suggested it tastes like Fresca or Sprite, but the 4.2% ABV will slap you down.

    Great recipe! I have two batches started last Friday. Question though : I will be bottling after it is done - will the lime juice affect the carbonation? I was going to skip the stabilization step and then had the priming sugar as per std. what do you think?

    ordered some powdered lime to give this a go, can't really get lime juice in volume where I live. Hopefully it turns out!

    Question for you on the cherry addition. I would assume that with those extra sugars, fermentation would kick in again. How long do you let that ride? Also any thoughts on adding the cherries in at the beginning instead of after fermentation completes? I do a cider with fruit and moved my fruit addition up front instead of after ferm. Tastes the same to me but I'm not very experienced on the mead side so not sure of the consequences of changing that up. Love your work and thanks!

    Great video, big fan. Quick question re; the back sweetening. Why don't you just pasteurize the mead after you are done with fermentation so you can use honey to back sweeten?

      Please reply back here after you do, and let me know what changes you made in balancing, if any! I’m considering sweetening this up a little bit more than usual for a competition in April.

    Taste the mead for a tasting profile while having a cold, what a trooper. Keep up the good work.

    Love the videos. But I live in UK. We don't have the same stores you do. So what is my alternative I.e frozen etc.

    Great recipe as usual, congrats! how much k-meta and k-sorb do you use in your session meads? is there a calculator you use?

  • @davidgillick4904
    @davidgillick4904 7 місяців тому +3

    So does the yeast always chew through the sorbates that would be in the cherry pie filling or bulk lime juice? Figured it would be hard to find those ingredients in the quantities this recipe uses without preservatives.

    • @tashawall5522

      Buy Duncan Hines Country cherry pie filling. It has no preservatives in it and I’m on my second time making this mead

    I've wanted to try a cherry limeade for a while, but could never science up a recipe. Now that I have one... it's damn weird. I think I'm going in, though. It's weird enough to be good.
