Mead Bottling
Subscribe to The Creatures: //bit.ly/tchsub The wait is over and our John Cena Creature Mead is finally ready to be bottled! John Cena Mead- ...
I've been away from The Creatures for some years and what do I see when I
come back? No Eddie, No Max, a million new people and new offices...... Wut
tha fuuuuuq....? :( #rip
Did y'all let it aerate at all during the fermenting process? My kit said
to let it aerate a little bit during the fermenting process, and I also
stirred it a little bit with a sanitized ladle and tasted it, and I didn't
really taste any alcohol at all, mainly just the honey. I mixed the must on
December 29th of 2015, and the kit instructions said that the mead should
be done fermenting and ready to bottle to age or to drink in 3 to 8 weeks,
but I am going to let it ferment for 8 weeks (2 months), so I will bottle
it on Feb 23, 2016 and let it age for 8 or 10 months.
The kit did not come with any sanitizing equipment, siphon, or a 5 gal (or
however many gallons it should be) fermenting bucket or lid, so I had to go
to the hardware store and bought a 7 gallon tall cooler with the nozzle to
drain the liquid or pour a beverage or something out of it and drilled a
hole in the top of the lid to hold the air lock and sanitized everything
thoroughly with antibacterial dish soap and cleaned the soap out with hot
water. I would like to know if what method and the choice of tools and
equipment I am using will be adequate for the whole process and let the
mead be potent and at its intended state when It is done aging?
Update: I just opened the lid to do one last aerate, and the must looks
very bubbly, and it appears that the wine yeast is just floating at the top
of the rest of the ingredients and the air lock doesn't have as many
bubbles in it as it did the day before. Is this a good or bad thing? The
mix is only 4 days old, and so far, it doesn't seem like much good is
happening.
A suggestion: don't age the next batch inside that plastic demijohn. It's
gonna stay for a year inside that thing, do you know how plastic containers
are bad for any kind of edible liquid?
+YummyWaffles334 I honestly didn't see that other comment, you can even look at the replies of that comment and see that I said "oh shit, you said it before me"
+TheMrShadowkraven The kits that people are using (notice a few youtubers are uploading videos making mead at the exact same times) produce a really dry mead before it gets aged (that's just kind of how mead production goes, anyway). It still tastes nice, but the dryness hits you really hard, and for people who are more sensitive, it'll sure shrivel your face up a bit. But once the initial shock clears, it's a really nice flavor, young as it is. I REALLY want to try making a chocolate mead, but those need to age for around 3 years. Might get on that around New Years' Eve so I have some ready for 2019, heh.
+TheMrShadowkraven That might be a good theory if he didn't have the exact same pose and everything when the cut happens. Not even a curl in his hair had lifted a nano meter after the cut.
Using my dad's old glass air lock on a batch of mead
Just a quick video showing an old glass airlock in action, on top of a small 3 liter batch of mead. Also zoomed in on the bubbles rising from the bottom. My dad ...
What the fuck is everyone's problem with Hardline? IMO that game is only

Here are my steps that I've taken to make a mead out of some prickly pears around my house and local honey from the mountains behind my house. The recipe ...
Tracy... funny you ask.... I'm actually bottling the last 2.5 gal tonight and should have a video up in a day or two. The first half is on the drier side and the second half I backsweetened a couple days ago and have just let it sit in the carboy to make sure its not going to referment. thinking about maybe adding some bentonite clay a second time because there is just a hint of cloudiness but its hardly noticeable so I might just forgoe and leave it as it. Anyways, stay tuned:)Joe
How To Make Mead
This tutorial is how to make Basic Mead also known as Honey Wine. 1 month from January 7th 2012 I will record the next video then upload the next step.
I had been looking on how to do this, thank you thank you, where can I get
the ale yeast?, sadly I live in mexico and I think this is gonna be the
hard thing to find, any way I can make the ale yeast?, and the honey I can
get its organic, its more solid than yours, its not as liquid, its hard to
get real honey, what normally we have here is something that isnt honey but
they sell it as it =S Im really looking foward on doing this, I had been
wanting to do it since forever so Thank you so much!!
is there a way to lock in the carbonation? i am trying to make a mead that
drinks like a beer or ale for a friend of mine. But i am also curious to
try it myself and see how it turns out. I was just wondering if there's a
way to seal in the carbon like locking the mix in a barrel of some sort...
Okay I feel a little better now I just need it to start bubbling I used
some white lab sweat mead the liquid kind and only a few bubbles after a
day so I wrapped it with a blanket and a seedling heat mat from my
gardening stuff and set it to 73 degrees. Thanks for your responce
What is the alcohol content usally at when it's finished and can it be
raised or lowered with sugar? One more question and I'll get out of your
hair, can the mead be distilled? Thanks for the video

How to Make Mead: Getting Started and Pre-Fermentation

Thats right internet, I have the coolest pals around, they make me bows and
homebrewed deliciousness all the while using my favorite colors and the
like. Seriously, couldn't ask for cooler, more talented friends.
I HAVE to get into home brewing at some point...... If I set about making
anything, Id want to make something as close to a strong ale as I
could.......maybe a project for next semester :D
Really well. I estimate it had an alcohol content of ~14-18% with an easy
intake, subtle flavors, and really smooth finish. No hard alcohol taste at
all.
