I made ginger beer once, with fresh ginger. It's a traditional Christmas drink in Jamaica. I enjoyed making it so I will try some of your fermented drinks too. I discovered Amaretto in the United States. I always use it in chocolate recipes. They go together wonderfully.

Is it ok to use my pineapple wine yeast to make this hydromel? Thinking of adding either mango or lychee with the honey while heating them up to 80deg C. Cheers.

[@Capsius]

Can I mix the dry yeast (ground into fine powder from Asian yeast balls) with pineapple wine yeast to make this or any wine? Or should I just stick to one type of yeast?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Yes 👍🏼 you can use Asian yeast balls

[@Capsius]

Thanks for thre advice! I started pasteurizing the must to 80 deg C and rapid cooling water bath with running water to room temp (2kg pure honey and 4 kg natural mineral water according to your 1:2 ratio), some raisins and lychee fruits with some of its syrup blended till smooth, a bit of green tea plus some sugar to increase the calculated SG to 1.104 for 6L total must volume. Will be priming finely ground 2 asian yeast balls (1 sweet, 1 strong) with another set of 100 ml pasteurized honey and water to same ratio 1:2 for 30 mins to 1 hr and I decided to include 1 TBS harvested natural Sweet Sapphire grape yeast to the must after adding the primed dry yeast (not using the pineapple wine yeast). Am not sure if I am using too much asian yeast (2 balls in total) for 6.1L total must volume (including the volume of priming for dry yeast).

[@Sa1d1n]

if you have raw honey from a reputable source, you can try a wild ferment - here, the yeasts already in the honey itself will do the fermentation. Follow the steps outlined, just make sure not to heat your honey to much more than 45 degrees. It will be harder to dissolve. Alternately, what I did was use raw honey and freshly pressed apple juice from our own apples - note, here you should try to use untreated apples. Apples are a good source of yeasts. There are risks to wild ferments - make sure to check out online sources regarding this, as you are not fully in control of the microbiology that's going on in your fermentation. Any off flavours, weird coloured growths or similar and you will probably need to chuck the stuff. That said, it's how both mead and hard cider would traditionally have been made. Also, note it can take much longer for fermentation to start - it took my first batch a whole 5 days to kick off!

[@Dave_en]

@@Sa1d1n I have used wild yeast method earlier but the result was disappointing. Risk of wine getting bad and low alcohol. I have got better results using bread yeast bought online for making pizza. You can get around 12% ABV. If you stir well daily, it won't develop yeasty aroma and clear up sooner.
