Hibiscus Berry Green Tea Mead - Make Your Own Mead at Home!

Hibiscus Berry Green Tea Mead - How to Make Your Own Mead at Home. This is from a tea sent to us by a fan. It smells amazing, fruity, floral and hibiscus... how can it go wrong? This mead is so easy to do, and it's a great mead for a first time brewer too.
Mead is a very old traditional drink of fermented honey. It's also one of the easiest wines to make at home aside from juice wines. Get a good quality honey is the best advice I can offer, but so long as it's pure honey, even grocery store fare will do the job. If you know an apiary, that's the best way, local, pure honey is amazing for making mead.

Hey guys, the audio in this and our next couple of videos will be a little weird. We had a cable that was partially chewed and... we didn't notice until after filming, so, we did what we could to fix it. Apologies.

This and a few other of your videos are the reason why I've become obsessed with hibiscus! Basically, now I'm putting it into most of my red berries meads, I love it!! Oh and you two are to blame for my house not so slowly turning into a meadery/winery! Lol! I've been driving my wife nuts, since in the beginning one or two one gallon demijohns, were cute. However....that quickly turned into more demijohns, bigger demijohns, a growing collection of brewing equipment and me invading more and more space with vessels of various sizes going; bloop, bloop, bloop! 😂😂 The only thing that's saving me, is a growing collection of bottles with the nectar of gods in them! The next brew I'll make is inspired by this for sure...it is going to be a rosehip and hibiscus flowers tea mead!

Plate of shrimp!!! Last time I was at my favorite grocer (a few weeks ago now) their dried hibiscus flowers were calling to me. "Forget the berries, Danny. Make mead with us forever...and ever...and ever..." I resisted their urging and went home to brew a blackberry/blueberry melomel (which I plan to rack into jugs tomorrow). And here you are now, posting a video about brewing a mead with berry-hibiscus tea...

On the airlock subject, I've broken a few of them because they get stuck in the grommet after sitting awhile, I have a keg system for my beers, so i always have a tube of keg seal lubricant on hand, makes removing airlocks from the grommets effortless, no more broken airlocks.

[@isaacn7976]

Hey Brian & Derica, I decided to make a hibiscus mead using the recipe of the Blueberry Hibiscus mead you had posted, just without blueberries. It's a 1gal batch. Half a gallon of water was brewed with 4oz of hibiscus for around 10-15 minutes. I aimed for 3.5lb of wildflower honey, but an accidental over pour resulted in 3.67lb. The rest of the gallon was topped off with water. The starting gravity was 1.130. I pitched Lalvin 71B once the must was at room temp. Last week, after 3 weeks of fermentation, my gravity dropped only to 1.076, ~7.3% ABV. I am letting it sit and will be measuring the gravity again this week. However, if it doesn't ferment further, I am at a conundrum. I like the direction the flavors are taking, but it's way too sweet (almost syrupy tasting). I don't know if adding more yeast will help fermentation to naturally reduce the sweetness, and I don't know if fortifying a brew would cut the sweetness. What would you recommend in this situation?

[@CitySteadingBrews]

Let it ieep fermenting. It started fairly high.

Hi Brian and Derica, by chance do you happen to know how many ounces of tea were in the bag?

I'm using fresh orange blossom honey for my batch. Oh my gosh, I just noticed your Van Gogh shirt in the video! Excellent! I need that for the museum next week!

New to brewing so these videos are helping me learn and bonus not as many preservatives and other "stuff" in the brews.

[@elricthebald]

After my latest brew blew out like crazy I am now building a blow off jar: Two grommets in the lid of an old peanut butter jar. One for the tube comming from my fermenter, the other for an airlock. All foam will be captured by the jar while CO2 can escape and nothing can get back in.

[@barryhillier2283]

You don't need the airlock at all, just the tube from the fermenter into a jar of liquid with a few holes in the lid to let the CO2 escape, the grommets are not needed unless you re-routing the CO2 to a green house or plants. Just make sure the tube is under the liquid in the jar. Airlocks are as rare as chicken teeth here in South Africa because of the alcohol sales ban we had during lockdown so this is the quickest and easiest method I've found to use. Another bonus I found is that I can connect a few fermenters at a time to 1 jar. So lots of bubbles to watch.

[@elricthebald]

@@barryhillier2283 Yes, that will work too. But if, for whatever reason, your vessel pulls a vacuum it can potentially suck up liquid from the jar. In my setup that is impossible.

[@georgecolby7488]

You're probably tired of me always posting on older videos, but I have to say, the re-watchability (is that a word?) is so strong in all of your content. On to my question: I found this because I just got some hibiscus and I wanted to add it to a beer I made in secondary. I have 2 ounces of leaves and was planning in making a strong cup of tea to add to a 2 gallon batch of beer. I want the berry/floral notes (it's an IPA) but I don't want a pink beer, I want a vibrant red. What has been your experience on how much to use to get that vibrant red color? I'm headed over to the viking blod clone next as I know you used hibiscus in that, too.

[@CitySteadingBrews]

I would use an ounce in like 6 ounces water per gallon. Also, I don’t mind posting on older videos :). We see the conments all the same. Makes me happy people still find them useful.

Have you done an experiment of full pack of yeast vs half package of yeast? Looking for what is the better finishing flavor? As speed is not a concern when it comes to Mead in my opinion. As Mead just gets better with time. Thanks you for all that you guys do!!!

[@CitySteadingBrews]

There will be absolutely no difference in flavor or alcohol content. Yeast builds up a colony when it is added to a brew, so, the MOST difference you will see is it MIGH start a little faster, but... we're talking hours different, not days.

[@nicholashess5977]

@@CitySteadingBrews do you believe this is true in high gravity ferments too? Is there ever a case where pitching more yeast allows you to reduce potential stress on the yeast and get a cleaner ferment? I am very close to adopting the Brian rule of full package and half package. As anyway around it you are still over pitching the yeast if you are doing one gallon fermentations.

[@CitySteadingBrews]

For super high gravity it could simply mean that more yeast aren’t shocked by the high sugars, but it won’t ferment any cleaner no.
