[@micheleeastmond9552]

Well done. I will try making a mead one day.

[@DIYFermentation]

You should!

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

Definitely do so! And fruit wine. And cider. Happy brewing!

[@mcguirereid7226]

The color of that is gorgeous

[@dannymontooth5091]

Thanks for making this video! Making this as my very first mead with lemons from the backyard.

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you for watching.

[@brandiminor1632]

I like these videos with the tasting.

[@_LocalGhost_]

Ty for the video, I love lemons and Mead, this might just be my first homebrew when I get to it. :)

[@DIYFermentation]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

I highly recommend trying to make a mead. If the price of honey is prohibitive, look for a recipe for a wine on this channel. Home brewing os such a rewarding hobby!

[@gabrielbennett5162]

This is very similar to a mead recipe I make with Voss Kveik ale yeast! I actually have a batch working-off right now in my water heater closet (it stays a pretty consistent 82-85°F in there). I also usually put in about 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and only use 2 lemons per gallon. The difference is, I zest my lemons a lot finer; it unlocks a lot more of the lemon flavor and I don't need as many. The flavor is really similar to a Mike's Hard Lemonade, only a bit sweeter with a noticeable honey flavor and a nutmeg afternote.

Thank you for sharing.

Just subbed, great vids!

[@DIYFermentation]

Thanks for the sub!

Have you ever tried aging any of your wines/mead with some oak (or other wood) barrel chunks to add some complexity?

[@DIYFermentation]

I have in my personal winemaking, however "complexity" is not the point of this channel. "Simplicity", is the goal here.

[@oliverm2077]

@@DIYFermentation very true, is there anything you've tried to make into wine that just didn't work? I tried parsnips before and it's terrible, but they are fantastic for making gin

[@chipgeil489]

Did you pasteurize this mead? Also how much honey did you add to backsweeten?

[@DIYFermentation]

Yes, this mead was pasteurized. I edited out a three minute segment talking about that point due to the combined video being too long. I back sweeten ten to my personal taste, that why I don't specify back sweeting amounts.

[@xavierleath8078]

Would it be possible to use wine tannin with lemon mead ?

[@shelleyjanine3113]

Would rosehips be a compliment to add ?

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

Seems to me this would be really nice with something like fatty fish. Yum!

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you for your comment.

[@shelleyjanine3113]

Will champagne yeast work ? Why or why not.? Thanks.

[@douglasharley2440]

he _did_ use champagne yeast (red star premier blanc), to power-through the high acidity (both honey and lemon are acidic). the drawback is high alcohol content.

[@chrismullin2522]

Was that tasting at room temperature?

[@DIYFermentation]

Yes it was.
