    I really liked your traditional mead beginner's video and your cheapest mead video, but i haven't seen an intro to how to make mead with fruit. i'd sure love it if you did one aimed at beginners on how to incorporate fruit into a mead.

    So does the rc212 stop easily? I just had 71B hit over 20% when I was hoping it would stop at around 1.018 area but it went to.994 from 1.142 not counting 16+ lbs of bananas, ayyyyyyeeeee 👍👍

    Thanks for this recipe. I made a wine very much like this mead about a year ago. Might try your recipe for the mead. Question: I have noticed that you do not list of pectic enzyme, potassium metabisulfite, and potassium sorbate on your recipe cards, and amounts are not given in the video (just that you used them). Why is that? I would find it helpful to know how much of each of these ingredients you use. Thanks again.

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The enzyme depends on how much fruit you have. The potassium sorbate also depends on your batch size. It's something I probably should put on cards in the future

    I've made a mead with these exact ingredients several times. It does get a little better over age. I age mine is a barrel to get the smooth buttery notes. I received the same notes from a judge not enough honey tatse even though the final gravity is around 1.030.

    I like to use about 1/4 alkaline water to round out the acid in my high acid meads. A commercial mead maker I know likes to use vanilla bean in pretty much all his berry meads to round them out. I personally don't care for vanilla bean so I wouldn't use it, but I can definitely see how using it with a very light touch in high acid berry meads can help.

    I'm new to the Mead making process. I'm making the mixed berry. My starting gravity was 1.125, after just over 2.5 weeks my gravity is at 1.004. That seems awfully fast for that much sugar to ferment. Thoughts? Should I wait or stabilize now?

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That can happen! I would let it set an extra week, rack it and then stabilize it before you backsweeten.

    Awesome recipe! When using fruit I like to put it in a mesh bag so I can squeeze out more juice than free running it. Just make sure to wear gloves if you don't want purple hands!

    I just tried this with kveik and at 6%. Then I kegged it. I think carbonated might ruin it.

    At 8.42 in your video, you have a stainless steel strainer for your racking cane. Can You post a link to where I can find that online? I'm about to start a no water batch and that would be pretty helpful to have!

      I like the way you made this Batch . The way I Do , in Big Batches with Bulk Ageing . Whenever I try any of Mine that's 3 Months Old , I Say , Yep ! It's Green 💚 , (Young 🌱.) Then Forget about it for a Year . Even if you Rack it Multiple times , over a period of time , it will still accumulate Whiffs of Sediment in the Bottom of Your Carboy . You have to Tilt the Carboy to Make it move around to See IT. I just Looked at Some that's 2 Years Old , and it has Real Light Clouds ☁️ in the very Bottom of the Carboy . When I Rack any out to Drink , I do so Right Off the Top 🍾🔝 . I Don't want any Haze in my Glass 🍷🥂. 🐯🤠

    I'm definitely trying this one, but i do have a question. When you say up to 1 gal of water in the recipe card, do you mean add water to your vessel until the level hits the gallon marker or add the entire gallon to the mix? Obviously the latter would require a larger vessel than a 1 gal carboy, but all that means is i get to run down to my local brew stire again.

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      So your total volume would be 1 gallon, so water up to 1 gallon after your fruit and such. I would highly recommend using a bucket for this one!

    With all that fruit, how did you measure the OG? Did you remove the fruit pulp and pieces from the must before you put the hydrometer in?

    We just did 770 lbs of blueberries. Just shy of 200 lbs honey. Blueberries definitely don't press well fresh.
