Easy Cucumber & Lemon Mead Recipe for Home! (Award Winning!)

Today I'm teaching you how to make a super crushable Cucumber & Lemon mead recipe at home! This brew is 4% and so good. I compare it to a sort of "spa water" idea. I show you how to make it in a bottle carbonated method and a keg carbonated method. Regardless, this mead has to be carbonated to be its best. Let me know what you think and thanks for watching!

Just made cucumber water and started thinking of trying a cucumber mead so this video is god sent

[@ManMadeMead]

I'm happy it's helped! Let me know how this turns out for you!

[@KlaySmith-mn6dj]

I made a low abv cucumber melon with cantaloupe. One of my best. I froze the cucumber though and added it all in primary.

[@ManMadeMead]

That sounds super interesting!

[@AM2PMReviews]

This is a perfect mead for Summer. I can’t wait to try it.

[@thekris4378]

The first mead I made almost a year ago was a carbonated lemon ginger Mead. I accidentally put 3 time as much lemon juice as I intended. It was the last step after my late shift. It’s getting smoother over time. I’ve made several that people really liked. Just takes practice and learning from your mistakes.😅🥃

[@badabing68]

Definitely gonna be brewing this up this weekend. If I was to try something different. I might go with juniper berries. Thanks

[@JamesLStapleton]

I quite enjoy your 1 gallon recipes. I tried making your Strawberry Vanilla mead following your 3 gallon recipe and it came out tasting so plastic-y 😅 kinda blegh 😂 Maybe ill try again someday without the seeds. Haha But this recipe sounds very pleasant!

[@ManMadeMead]

That's super interesting! I haven't had a lot of that come from strawberries in the past but I have tasted others that have had it!

[@JamesLStapleton]

@@ManMadeMead I am by no means an expert, so maybe I messed something up. Haha But I'll just have to try again one of these days.

[@TigerPat_9180]

Really Appreciate Your Video , Thanks ! 🐯🤠

[@stanleygrover1685]

Keep the recipes coming! 🤠👍👍👍

[@gregj1789]

Very interesting recipe!

[@stacyroe619]

I would love to see you make a red cabbage brew, a self acid testing brew, as the color changes with the pH. I tried and it has a slight off smell the whole time because of it being cabbage but it tastes perfectly fine. It would be the only brew that you wouldn't need a pH test strip to test it because it tests itself.

[@lewwagner6763]

Wow, I am excited to try this one. But I do have 2 questions. 1st, am I understanding that this is only about 3 to 4 weeks old when you are drinking it? Second, to make a 5gal batch, should I multiply everything by 5? Thanks for your work and thoughts.

[@ManMadeMead]

Yeah! With this being so low ABV it turns out super quick. It was about a month old when I drank it. For a larger batch just multiply everything except the yeast by 5! You might have to use at least 5 grams of yeast for a 5 gallon batch

[@lewwagner6763]

@@ManMadeMead Thank you very much. I will start this one this weekend!

[@williammentink]

Did you submit the bottle carbonated version to the competition or force carbonated version?

[@ManMadeMead]

Force carbonated!

[@ramsesputnam401]

Did you add any additional acids or tannins?

[@ManMadeMead]

I didn't for this one!

[@Yuckster]

Nice win bro 🎉

[@ManMadeMead]

Thank you!

[@StephenFrank9090]

Can I cold steep the cucumbers in just the water or do I need to make the must?

[@ManMadeMead]

I would put them in the mead post fermentation!

[@domors89]

Please stop saying spa water 😅 I keep imagining people in a spa just scooping up the water they are soaking in and drinking it 🤣

[@IwalkthepathofNika]

stop tempting us with a good time
