Apple Pie Mead: 1 Gallon

[@mohammedabbasov1658]

If I wanted to make this recipe but in a 3 gallon carboy, would I just triple everything?

[@davidduff8264]

Yes

[@julietardos5044]

That's a really good idea to hold back a cup of your must to add later. I've heard of people carbonating their brews that way, but I have not tried it yet.

[@DIYFermentation]

It's better than using water.

Apple pie mead is one of our favorites. 😋

[@DIYFermentation]

Thanks for stopping by. I can now start work on the collaboration.

[@hanginwithhodge]

@@DIYFermentation our mead project is going to be a lot of fun!

I'm in the process of making something similar to this. I made a wine with apple butter and have been toying with the idea of making a cyser with apple butter. I am using a 1 gallon of apple juice from concentrate 28 oz. jar of apple butter (W/O corn syrup) 4lbs honey, Red Star premier Grand Blanc Yeast. Raisins yeast nutrient 1 1/2 teaspoon of Pectic Enzyme Powder because the wine I made using apple butter never cleared up even with cold crashing for a week.

[@DIYFermentation]

Sounds good.

Hi, just found your channel. I have been making mead on a shoestring about 6 years, being on SS it is a must. How did this taste or have you tasted it yet. I love making mead and have 6 different ones going right now. I also am a traditional as far as I will use some yeast hulls but prefer to use no other additives.

[@DIYFermentation]

Not yet tasted. Wine tastings are now done at the 12-month mark.

Thanks for your videos. My wife and I were drinking some homemade wine at a fair and decided we should try it and she found your videos and I have been binging them. I have made 3 so far but I am only like a week in so my results are far away. One question I had that I am not sure I have seen you address, but what kind of water do you use? Are you purchasing water for each batch?

[@DIYFermentation]

Just regular Pur filtered water.

[@ARSENICCATNlP]

Thanks for the help.

You said to let it ferment for 3 to 5 days. I’ve had mine ferment for three weeks. Depending on how much sugar I started with. If I after 3 to 5 days I transferred to a secondary vessel? Should I still put the air vents on and let it continue to ferment? I made mead three years ago. Did not like it after the first 10 months. But at three years to the day. It was amazing

[@DIYFermentation]

In the video I stated that a vigorous stir during the first 3 days, then racking after 5 - 7 days. Airlocks should be used during the first several months, if not thru the entire bulk aging process.

Can you make a video on how to properly disinfect everything?

[@DIYFermentation]

Already done one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZWWioRtltuKnKM

Hello! Why not include the apple skin? It adds a lot of aroma and tanning

[@DIYFermentation]

Interesting idea. Thank You For Watching.

[@oldtimeengineer26]

So is it wine or mead? With honey I would say mead. I will give it a try thanks.

[@DIYFermentation]

As long as I use more honey than sugar it's a mead.

[@DawzeyJ]

cyser

[@jabernm]

Is pear wine the same way apple wine is made? When are you going to give us the pear wine recipe?

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you for helping to support this channel by becoming a member. Yes the two are made the same. 1 gallon of juice, 2 cups of sugar, 1/2 lemon.

[@debragoodwin2081]

Why do you freeze a cup then put back in with secondary fermentation?

[@DIYFermentation]

As explained in the video, it's to reduce the headspace created by racking from primary to secondary, or subsequent secondary rackings.

[@patdaws9344]

Question. I have a close friend who doesn't drink alcohol, but I would love to share this recipe with him. How would I make this unalcoholic

[@Hazy154]

You can’t, I highly recommend looking up a spiced nonalcoholic apple cider recipe as add some honey

[@DIYFermentation]

I concur with Steel_Eel154.

[@julietardos5044]

Apple juice warmed with mulling spices and a little bit of brown sugar or honey.
