I love how detailed and yet straight forward your videos are, I primarily brew beer, but enjoy watching your videos on ciders and meads for future ideas. It’s amazing how many videos you are consistently filming and uploading!

[@jamesvatter5729]

Sounds like a good one, Charles. Thanks for sharing.

[@livewell2215]

It's always good to see black people with niche hobbies such as brewing. Sadly it was always hard to find it, so it's good to see.

[@winstonbower1236]

No need to make it about race, all people have made alcohol for centuries. Try researching more

[@stevenweir7236]

Your approach to fermenting is much the same as mine. I like using the raw fruits too. The techniques we've developed are a bit different. But the end results are sure to please. Thanks for posting your works.

Awesome! Was planning on making a raspberry mead for a friend who loves raspberries. This looks like a good place to start so thank you!

[@swedishalexander1795]

It looks so good

[@wagnerramirezlicoreroartes7435]

Nice video

[@wil318466]

Very nice video.

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you very much!

[@ravivyas3804]

would it be beneficial to gently mash or muddle the fruit at all? Would doing this be more effective in allowing the yeast to get to more of the sugars and allow more of the fruit flavors out?

[@DIYFermentation]

Yes it would.

[@jonathanrayejr]

Don't boil the honey it removes a lot of unique flavors from the honey itself.
