HOW TO MAKE RASPBERRY MEAD (PART 1)

[@ANRC]

Because of your channel, I just made my very first mead. Lemon honey mead and orange. My own mead will be my first, so I'm super excited!

[@BB-st2zz]

I would love to hear how it turned out

[@JM-_-MJ]

How it turn out? Did you go blind?

[@ChillestSkeleton]

@@JM-_-MJWrong type of alcohol, you’re thinking of moonshine. It’s impossible to go blind with just fermenting.

[@blackcactus6391]

How's the mead?

[@curranh.8328]

Update please

[@BritishBeeMan]

Raspberry mead is amazing. I've got 150 litres of it aging up. 1 year in.

[@grubwirld]

That’s a lot of mead

[@spectra789]

Just don’t tell IRS about that

Algorithm

[@bossrollup6920]

Do you mind sharing how much yeast and how much yeast nutrient added?

[@MarcatoCSharp]

did you Google how to make mead? your KZbin account probably used that to suggest this short

[@matthewmurray8024]

Update?

[@isaacthegoofygoober]

You can just put raspberries in water with honey, bottle it and in like 10- 15 days it will ferment and it gets to about 3%

[@owen6033]

Ya I put juice and yeast works just as good and it takes about just as long but idk what the abv is because i don’t have a tester

[@lovelylipbonesouwwwwwwwolv2198]

This looks fun

[@BluestormsSong]

My brother and I make mead every summer, but it's typically a batch meant for winter which we bottle up and give as gifts. This summer, we made black mead, so maybe I could persuade him to try this next year.

[@redactedzero443]

Thanks for helping all the teens

[@JB-tw9ch]

youre so cool bro

[@trevorgonzales3739]

You do a lot of part one videos but no part two. I would like the part two of this video as well as your strawberry one

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Looks great i will try it

[@nickk4953]

Can you do a video on the acids you use

[@0TheFather0]

I usually blend mine up and use pectic enzyme too

[@eggycarrot]

Thank you , I am 18 and was struggling with this issue

[@annfifi3359]

do you also sanitize and sterilize the bowl and fork you use for the yeast and water?

[@smoothponz3034]

How long do you leave the mead? Always was confused when fermentation ends on average.

[@AViancourt]

You should try and make a margarita mead using agave nectar , lime and oranges and see what it comes out as

[@michaelkoszuta7818]

I just purchased jar and hoses... I definitely need a recipe book and yeast !!!

[@JBartus913]

Not being a fan of wine, but really liking mead, I don't put the fruit in during fermentation. After fermentation, I pasteurize the mead then add the fruit. Doesn't get that rotting fruit taste that wine has.

[@PineappleBro99]

What sanitizer do you use?

[@SorenHume]

You ever tried cultivating wild yeast and using it?

[@timbutler5033]

So what is the yeast nutrient for and how much would you add per gallon?

[@penelope9548]

Can I ask what you are using to maintain the heat during the fermentation process please?

[@lankthedank6931]

What type of yeast do you use? I usually follow a medieval style recipe using ale yeast, as I don’t like the wine taste of modern mead.

[@uqox]

You can straight up do this with bread yeast and raisins vs any ingredient you saw that was mysterious to you. Likewise, a lot of organic berries that are frozen is cheaper and of equal quality and cheaper by weight. Enjoy, relax, and have a homebrew. :-)

[@lynnersbryant8142]

Are the raisins used for the nitrogen supplements?

[@iakb334]

​@@lynnersbryant8142Some people claim that it works... it doesn't, unless you add a ridiculous amount of them. Just use fermaid o

[@lord_toker]

@@iakb334 It worked and has worked for me for a while

[@Billy-burner]

A lot of berries contain natural yeast so none is required to add. Blue berries and grapes especially

[@OneTwentyOver80]

If you're going for a higher proof like 14% bread yeast will likely die off far before that. That ABV will also stress the yeast and cause off flavours. Just my 2 cents

[@Anakin_Ackerman]

Can I use "mad honey" and do you think it would diminish the hallucigenic effects? 🤔

[@jameshoward-wr4cj]

To get the most out of your fruit in mead freeze your fruit before you put in water in your mead this freezing and then thawing breaks down the fruit so you can get most amount juice from your fruit

[@jtravel80]

When do you add the sulfite tablets? Is it after you siphon the mead for aging?

[@mattybadger13]

Blueberry was my favorite to make.

[@jakethesnake4040]

Is there any benefit to adding actual honeycomb to the mixture? A lot of higher quality honey i find in the store has honeycomb in it, but if it would actually be harmful id rather buy high quality plain honey online or something.

[@DeathLessBoss]

Can you please tell me the size of the jar you're using. Thanks

[@emilyziegler6998]

Need the recipe! Where is this recipe book?

[@juanmejiagomez5514]

Can you make this with maple syrup instead of honey?

[@onlinegametime]

How do you make chocolate 🍫 mead? Do your use chocolate powder? Or would you melt a chocolate bar, and pour it in?

[@owen6033]

I don’t know if that would work but i think you need the chocolate bar instead of powder because it’s the fruit that unless the powder has fruit in it, it’s not gonna ferment. I don’t think.

[@popeye1313]

What is the yeast nutrient for and that's also added along with your regular yeast

[@Eev101328]

How long you wait?

[@umbreon4955]

What about sanitizing fruit??

[@jacoblong92]

Crazy idea? Maple syrup mead? Perhaps with some toasted oak and vanilla? Birch bark sap mead? Maybe with spruce tips and lemon?

[@AlainaPaul-w4v]

I usually blend mine up and use pectic enzyme too. Will it be carbonated?.

[@ryanm5946]

are your kits friendly with nutrient staggering and degassing?

[@Curtis-c8p]

Is there a specific type or brand of yeast you recommend?

[@ruleblack3087]

Saw this video on Facebook and came here for part 2......

[@QondokwakheCleaningServices]

Can you plz teach me alot about brewing

[@maximplus04]

Does it make a difference if you mash the raspberries ?

[@1marty8]

Does it add more flavor if you mash the fruit?

[@kamdenbryant8052]

I just read that you shouldn’t add acids until after fermentation, is that true. Fermentation still works with them in before, but does the taste change if they are added after?

[@RissaNaChelle]

Adding fruit at the beginning of the process does change the flavor. Less fruity.

[@nonickname-k1z]

You are wine lord 😂😂

[@lawrencenickerson8649]

I don't much like them jars.I have two what are your thoughts?

[@Rez-ways99]

No just out of curiosity is there a difference between using a plastic or glass

[@owen6033]

There shouldn’t be unless you have it out in the sun the plastic is going to taint your mead it’s the same as if you leave water in a plastic cup it starts tasting like plastic glass is better if you care about taste

[@bobbobber4810]

Funny how watch that kind of videos time to time but I don't drink alcohol... at all. It is just an interesting subject I guess.

[@elgrosmax]

Hi , i heard that grapes has natural wild yeast on them and wine makers ferment their wine without adding yeast . Can i do this recipe without adding yeast and yeast nutrients ?

[@imperialtower]

acids and yeast nutrients... are those necessary? if i dont have them, what can i use instead?

[@owen6033]

Those acid’s aren’t necessary all you need is the yeast. I’m unless you wanna wait two weeks then you don’t even need yeast only honey and water and some fruit. You can also buy juice and put yeast in it and wait 10 days and it’ll be hooch

[@ferretunicorn838]

how much would the recipe change if I wanted to add some fresh pomegranate juice?

[@Danawesomy567]

All of the recipes i read say you have to boil the water and the honey, but you don’t do that. Is boiling not a requirement?

[@charlesdavis9937]

I've put fruit in during fermentation and didn't get any flavor from the fruit. 3lbs fruit, 2 lbs honey for 1 gallon of mead. No flavor. So im going to add fruit in secondary.

[@EXPLODINGSPUD]

When I make fruit mead I always have preferred the flavor I get when adding in secondary instead of primary.

Where do you get the airlock from

[@harleyguy907]

[@bromigo23]

So I’m new to the game. Just making a basic honey mead but want to begin a blackberry mead. Question, when it comes to fruit, do you just rinse them after they have thawed or use the same food safe sanitizer to make sure they are clean? Don’t want to screw up my mead lol.

[@theastronomer5800]

I would not rinse them after they thawed as you'll lose a lot of the juice - the point of freezing them is so that the cells burst and they release more juice. They should be fine, but in the future rinse them BEFORE you freeze them. I'm sure you'll make a good mead! Just let it sit for ~3 months before you bottle it. And if you use the full berries, then rack after a month and then let it sit for two more months (I squeeze my fruit in a cheese cloths and then just use the juice).

[@sneediumminer]

to sterilize the fruit you can blender it, then add potassium metabisulfite which will kill all the wild buggies. add the honey and water and let it sit for a good 24 hours, then add the yeast you want to use a wine yeast for this because the wine yeast is tolerate of the sulfites and other yeast may not be

[@ckend2412]

Are you mixing the yeast with water before you put it in? Can’t tell for sure

[@garryleerob]

He actually shows the yeast and water being mixed in that white ramekin.

[@sneediumminer]

you don't really have to I've never done it but it might make fermentation start sooner

[@debrabaer5037]

Can too much yeast be added? I have a batch that hasn't done anything

[@folkmar00]

Wait, Poland Spring? As a polish I'm surprised.

[@guildardaze1438]

How do you identify the alchohol content pourcentage? Calculating it

[@Tkp650]

Can you make mead from mad honey?

[@Orbowitz]

Yes, but it'll taste nasty if you don't add some type of fruit to balance out with sweetness

There’s a bar in my town that sells mead. No one goes bc it so easy to make at home. Owner prob has a GED

[@amiradaibekov8564]

Смотри, в малине есть пектин и дрожжи его переработают в метанол, тебе нужно дождаться когда дрожжи наберут максимальное значение алкоголя % и уже не смогут перерабатывать сахар, примерно 12-15%, добавь малину и ее тремпены будут хорошо усвоены спиртом…минимум метанола и настоящий аромат малины.

[@jagpalsidhu4798]

Does using more honey mean a higher alcohol % then??

[@Lavenderrose73]

Well how much of each thing are we supposed to add?

[@jlyt8383]

Nice

[@strome3]

Few questions, how much yeast would you put in to this, i have seen people do a whole packet and some 1/3 of a packet, also should the fruit stay in till racking or will it go old and mess up the batch?

[@evanmorris7519]

I would def look up ratios… it depends on if ur making 5 gallons at once or just a single gallon like this

[@0TheFather0]

I only make 1gal at a time and up to 6gal total a year. So I use a full pack in a gallon because the rest will go bad before I use it again. I experimented with using 1/2 vs 1 whole and there was no flavor change but my brew didn't take as long by using a full pack.

[@louislu1825]

how did you sanitized the raspberry. I used a campton tablet and it turned it to a beige color.

[@yossarian00]

youre only supposed to sanitize your tools man

[@sneediumminer]

the fruit turning beige after adding potassium metabisulfite doesnt affect the flavor

Bro im going to make and store 100 gallons a year and then label the bottles by year so when the atf comes they cant do shit

It's yeast nutrient to help the yeast ferment better. You can add pectic enzyme as well to help break down pulp of any fruit you use.

❤ Ready after 10 days ❤

[@SlowRide2010]

FYI. Costco honey is not good quality. They over filter it leaving no pollen behind making it impossible to determine the source. Raw honey is always best for everything

[@cachemasterT]

Will it be carbonated?

[@OneTwentyOver80]

If you want carbonation, wait till the ferment is done (like 100% done), then rack the mead into their bottles (say 500ml bottles), add a teaspoon of sugar into each one and seal. Leave those bottles at room temp in a dark place (covered in a heavy bag in case of a bottle bomb) and they will carbonate over the course of a week or so. This is called bottle conditioning, you see it in pricier beers (look for the sediment at the bottom of the bottle to identify companies that do this).
