Today we rack and bottle the mead. We made a very simple, repeatable recipe for mead to serve as a "First Mead", something beginner brewers could easily reproduce and learn the basics of mead making.

if i am not wrong , there is a danger of methyl poisoning risk. what should i do to avoid it...?

There is a very small amount of methanol created in any wine, mead or cider, even commercial products. The amount is not dangerous, and ethanol os the cure for methanol poisoning anyway. Methanol is really only a problem of you use some method to concentrate it.

I learned a cool trick from an old timer about head room in your jug.... Goes like this.... Always keep a bag of sanitized glass marbles and if your Brew doesn't fill the jug enough then drop in enough marbles until the level of the liquid reaches the desired height in the neck of your jug.... I hope this tip helps someone it certainly has helped me ✌️

I hate the elitism in brewing. “Extract beer brewing is bad.” “Using bread yeast is lame.” “You can’t use liquor bottles to put wine in.” You have made a mead that is way better than anything in the store for pennies worth, I can’t believe that people would have a problem with that. Good on you two for taking initiative to show people how twisted that is, I’m glad you have success doing what you love

I recently bought a Carlos Rossi sangria 3L jug for my first mead, and stored the wine in some flip tops so I could get started. None of my local stores carry the apple juice in the glass jug. Bonus is I get to make and enjoy some mixed drinks while waiting for the mead to finish

Mead is different and perhaps of you do add nutrients to your wine, you might consider doing so for mead should you make one again. I use home made nutrient (boiled baker’s yeast) and that seems to help a lot, along with de-gassing daily during fermentation. I love brewing meads, wines and ciders as each has its own characteristics I love. Happy brewing!

This was actually the best two part tutorial on making mead, whenever I start, ill follow these videos Edit: So right after making the inital batch, you leave it to ferment for a good 6 months or so, and, to my understanding, shake it every week/2 weeks? And then by the 3 month mark, test to see how its fermenting, rack it and then let it ferment some more and then by the 6 month, bottle it and enjoy? Did i get all that right? Edit 2: How do you safely remove the stopper without having the mead shoot up out of the jug

Just wanted to say thanks for the cool video. Just ordered everything to give it a shot - Hopefully I'll have some New Years mead!

You should have Halloween Mead actually. :) But for New Years it will be even better.

Wow. I have to try to make this. Looking at all of the other types of spirits, they all look complicated, this looks like even something a novice like me can make. And not screw up. Thanks for the video

Thanks for this video, I have been making mead for years with bread yeast, and people ask how to do it. Now I can just have them watch this, much easier for me!

Makes great sense. As a former microbiologist and science teacher, you are right on target about cleanliness and the reality of brewing. If it works, just do it!

Thanks for this recipe. Gonna make soon. I have a desert meade I made 22 years ago in my basement that will sit another 1.5 years. Plan on opening along with a Rose' made 20 years ago when my daughter graduates College. Been in a small fridge at 45 degrees and never touched.

Got turned on to some home brewed mead at a gaming convention in Oct. so I had to watch this. There's a party Friday night (drinking game (card game)) that usually just breaks down to a drunkin fun time of welcoming new folks and partying with friends that you haven't seen in a year. Totally agree with brewing, it's the same as cooking. You like you red pasta sauce with a subtle hint of dill garlics at one level and basil at another. You're really able to tweak things into your own flavor zones after you have the base recipe done. Once spring hits and we have some steady temps I'm going to need to try making this and the simple cider recipe you guys do. The good thing is it should give me enough time to ferment and rack both of them.

your edditing is adorably cheesy and I love it xD My hubby really really wants to make mead, wine, and such. We're about to try and close on a house with a basement and he wants to set up shop down there to make stuff like this. I'd love to try this recipe. this looks great.

Got a batch of "Syr Michael of York" lemon-nutmeg mead fermenting in a closet right now. Started it 2 days ago. I too used Fleischman's bread yeast in it and it's been bubbling away like Alka-Selzer non-stop. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I'm so fascinated by these videos, and now I've got the bug to make mead. I drank some for the first time last year, and had no idea it was a thing up until that point. Although it wouldn't surprise me if what I drank wasn't real mead. There's a local beekeeper that sells honey in my area, and he offers honey from different seasons. I'm planning on buying some from him, and I'm ordering the rest of the supplies tonight. I'm eager to get started!
