Metheglin (A Spiced Mead) - Collab with Skald Cellars!

[@ManMadeMead]

This video was so fun! Thank you for your hard work putting all the parts in one video. I know it takes a lot of work, but it definitely shows your professionalism! Keep crushing it!

[@FaewoodMead]

Thank you! I’m trying to get more two parter- to all in one videos! In the future they will hopefully all be all in one! It’s so much more streamlined and easier for people to watch! I appreciate your comment!!!

Miss Fae, if you’re trying to take labels off of bottles use OxyClean and warm water. Dunk your bottles under and let them soak for several hours to overnight. The labels should peel off. If there’s a little bit of adhesive residue left over then take one of those kitchen scrubbers to the outside. After that just rinse them out several times and bingo bango, free clean bottles

[@FaewoodMead]

I have that somewhere! Thank you so much for that info!

[@silentr0b]

I always feel bad for how long I leave my brews sitting around unfinished...good to have a reminder that I'm not the only one who just forgets about them for months at a time.

[@FaewoodMead]

Lol, I'm terrible with time!

[@DelcoWineDouche]

Yay!!!!

[@FaewoodMead]

Thanks friend!

[@stanleygrover2162]

Good wine takes time, and with mead try a little acid blend to round out the mouth feel. Squeeze 1 lemon and add it to your racked bottle.

[@GreenWitch1]

Not sure the juice of an entire lemon is always called for 😳

[@FaewoodMead]

An acid blend would have been nice for sure!

[@dalestevenson4398]

Thanks!

[@FaewoodMead]

Omg! Thanks for the fancy!

[@dalestevenson4398]

@@FaewoodMead I remember you once saying in video how much extra work it is to do your makeup, set up a camera, etc AND then make a mead. I really appreciate it Mandy. 🙂

[@Kannushi5]

I know I've mentioned it here before, but try Bentonite for clearing. I've used it on 3 brews so far and it's worked wonders. Makes degassing a pain depending on when you like to do that step but give it a shot. Keep up the good work!

[@WeepingWillowMeads]

Try biofine instead. The loss is minimal and what it pulls out is compacted. Plus it's animal friendly. Only bc some fining agents contain shellfish

[@FaewoodMead]

I think I now have all of those things! :-p I will be testing them thank you!

[@WeepingWillowMeads]

@@FaewoodMead my pleasure. I'm lookin to start a KZbin channel myself. Maybe one day we can do a side by side batch

[@baghdaddy202003]

I havent had any issues with sparkalloid. I dont add it until 7 days prior to bottling.

[@FaewoodMead]

Good to know, thank you!

[@GreenWitch1]

You’re so funny! Love the video 🥰

[@FaewoodMead]

Thanks Michele!

That's great to know, thank you so much!

Did a second fermentation on a ginger mead and a batch of Barolo. As your video on second fermentation.

[@FaewoodMead]

Barolo? What is that?!?

[@Zak_Katchem]

I hate how much this now adds to my list of things to learn and do… it’s already so long… THANK YOU for the inspiration. Any tips for absolutely base line no knowledge amateur? Where to look for great resources?

[@dockofthebaycountrywines69]

Check the comments sure to find some tips and suggestions. Look online for some really basic recipes to learn the ins and outs. Don’t be scared to check out other KZbinrs, we are all a community and a lot of us are willing to help! 😉

Thanks Tiger!

[@juliaharbeck774]

Do you know how much black cardamon he used? I am making a metheglin and want to add some but am not sure if he used the entire pod or just the seeds.

[@FaewoodMead]

I know he crushed whole seed pods and added them... I'm unsure of how many...

[@stanleygrover2162]

Use malolactic fermentation in your video searches.

[@milehighstudiospoodie4525]

Love you videos ☺️

[@FaewoodMead]

Thank you!

I bought alot of 118 and keep it in a quart jar in my fridge and will have yeast for years!

[@FaewoodMead]

Oh that's... crafty!

[@HolyPineCone]

Sipping on my own homebrew when watching. I feel like the most funny man in the world but I think I better don't comment anything. I bet it will sound stupid to me tomorrow

[@FaewoodMead]

Hahaha, it’s ok 😂

[@riukrobu]

EC-111111-8! Bye-eee!

[@dockofthebaycountrywines69]

😆

[@FaewoodMead]

:-p

[@Stewbphoto]

Yeah that was a lot of anise... I might have broken one in half for a gallon. I have been burned with that before

[@stanleygrover2162]

Wrote some information on the comments of your second fermentation ??? Video comments.

[@FaewoodMead]

Thanks Stanley!

[@StoneyardVineyards]

Have you tried mangrove jack mead yeast mo5? It’s one of my favorite ones . Cheers

[@FaewoodMead]

I actually just made two meads with that yeast! They're young so I can't attest to it's goodness yet :-p
