This guy is awesome!! He’s the real human version of Winnie the Pooh!! Lol
I said the same thing to my husband! He sounds so much like Winnie the Poo when he gets excited about honey. 😂🤣
lol
The lemon will lower the pH, making it better for your yeast since they'll have less competitors for the sugars from the honey.
Also, cinnamon is tree bark. How'd they figure that one out?
Funny story about meed my mate was making mead in his dorm room at uni. Anyway he forgot about it and it exploded sticky alcohol liquid everywhere in his bedroom. It still smells like honey and beer
Getting tanked off of tank honey mead. I absolutely love it.
I am a beekeeper from Switzerland and at this point I just have to say that you are extremely sympathetic and I love your videos
Cinnamon is a piece of bark. And the word you were looking for at the beginning is "fermentation", which is one of my favorite words, because it makes alcohol! :)
I just cringed when you threw in a handful of cloves! I use one whole clove in a gallon on mead. I'm afraid your mead will taste like clove and everything else will be buried.
But, hey! It's your brew. You do you!
God I can't stand cinnamon ,I tried apple juice and cinnamon with moonshine like the Americans do and it was horrible
@@kiwiprouddavids724 Cinnamon can overpower almost anything if you leave it in too long.
@@davidwren1879 Defiantly depends if its real(ceylon) cinnamon cinnnamomum verum thats a more warm fruity note, vs the exceptionally more common and almost fiery spice of Cinnamomum cassia
My husband and I just found you yesterday and we watched you clean out the fish tank. We just subscribed because we love your jovial personality and sense of humor along with the educational value you provide.
Thank you for the great content!
Cinnamon is a bark 3:41
Also...You could use the nutmeg grater on the side of the cheese cutter to make a lemon zest. 4:11
We had one of our members come to the meeting and showed us how to make mead and she also gave us a try. She has won multiple prises at The Royal Easter Show. I'm not a drinker and I'm sorry to say I didn't like it at all but a lot of male members loved it. A few of them have tried making mead and she was kind enough to help them with their questions. Thanks Mark and John great video as usual
The amount of fun you have makes me want to move to Australia. Are all of you guys having this much fun down there?
Not all of us, but he exemplifies the best of us
@@schoo9256 I insist on believing that everyone is this jolly in Australia.
"to get buzzed" lol these videos really make the day brighter" it's how are ancestors figured out how to get shit faced". Many thanks
I love watching your videos.
all i can see is benny hill the bee keeper love your channel
Bahahahahaha😂😂🍺
Cheating and double checking on google makes me think that cinnamon you got is pieces of the bark "Cinnamon is a spice, sprinkled on toast and lattes. But extracts from the bark as well as leaves, flowers, fruits, and roots of the cinnamon tree have also been used in traditional medicine around the world for thousands of years. It's used in cooking and baking, and added to many foods".
Love these videos, you are so much fun to watch do whatever it is you get up to. :)
Wow i just love your videos thanks for putting a smile and laughter on all of us addicted to your videos!!!
U spread happiness and i learn soooo much from u sir.. keep up the beautiful videos u create and thank you for the patience in creating your own art😇😇😇👏👏
A few years ago, your first mead making video was the first of your videos I’d seen. I found it while looking for vids on how to make mead. I’ve watched every one of your videos since then. Love to you and yours. :)
There ya go Mark!!! Lovely to see you home brewing! Well done!!!
I just heard that mites have found their way to Australia. I hope your hives are unaffected!
Cinnamon is the bark of a small tree.
You forgot to add a generous fist full of (sulphur free) dried grapes, raisins, sultanas or the like, they have natural yeast on the skins and they provide food for the yeast which finds honey a little hard going.
If you put the mead thru a still you can make what is called Sunshine
You remind me my grandfather always trying to make something to drink or eat from what ever you can get around.
Them persons are just legends.
Dude my brain was having an aneurysm every time it hit "fish tank".
Your home looks wonderfull
Funny as hell
This channel rocks!!
Brand new to bee keeping. Also in SA. Thanks for all you do! Love that you go into all facets of what can be done with the honey and the wax! Thank you
Cinnamon is a tree. You scratch off the bark and it rolls when you dry it
Acid is required for the propagation of the yeast. Citric acid(lemon juice ) is a great source.
Nice job! :)
Perfect. Happy Solstice!
Looks great! Wish we could all try it with you... I'm only in Sunraysia, send some over!! 😁👍
Love your videos. I've learnt a lot from them.
Can't wait to see how it turns out (sounds fishy to me lol) I'm in Queensland north of Bundaberg in a middle of a flow of blue gum and iron bark at the moment
Yeast likes low PH so I'd put the lemon in. We used to when we made gingerbeer back in the day.
Love your videos here in Colorado. You always make me laugh. 😆. FYI cinnamon is actually a tree bark.
It would be really interesting if you guys did a video on the varrora mite situation in NSW at the moment
My last few attempts at mead has produced good paint stripper, I've got a new batch on the go of apple and honey cider/mead
Guy is already drunk on the mead.
Aku senang liat nya🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
5:20 😂😂
I love making mead and your recipe sounds yummy. Can I please have your proportions and give it a go myself when we next extract.
Sorry they have found varroa in aus Noel, bees in Brittany is doing a utube Sunday 7 pm on the subject of treating for them with Ben from bens bees
That Richard Noel
cinnamon sticks are the peeling bark off the cinnamon bush
Hi , wondering how much quantity of honey is in your mead
They probably accidentally d out that honey when fermented makes alcohol
Did you do a follow up on this?
Not yet but we hope to soon
@@TheBushBeeMan thank you can’t wait
How much honey was used n how much water was added,,,, what was the total liquid
What is going to become of the Bee Tank?
Cinnamon is bark off a tree
God I hate cinnamon , tried to some with moonshine and apple juice like Americans do it was horrible
@@kiwiprouddavids724 1 stick cinnamon per quart and half an apple.
Try pickling strawberries in moonshine. Far better.
@@chasingthefish9042👍 I do a rum pots ,all the different berries I can find ,a table spoon brown sugar and rum up to the top so there's no air left in jar and leave sit for 6 weeks ,if it doesn't explode , berries are awesome with ice cream .and the juice goes down well with coke...will have to try it with moonshine next season
" how to get shitfaced " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been wanting to make some Mead with the left over cappings I have but don't know where to start, they are in the freezer at the moment waiting patiently for me to hurry up. Which mead site are you on so I can hopefully get a simple recipe to get a wiggle on? Can't wait for your end results, I do have to say though,... that's a lot of ginger you put in there, I hope it doesn't over power everything else, we'll have to wait and see.
What kind of plant is on the counter
I think I would enjoy living next door to you . But your next door person may be miles And miles and a bunch of miles . Keep making your videos when possible as always. Thanks
Don't use a whole thing of turbo yeast , it will make it too yeasty 🤔but then again you might have killed it with the cinnamon and stuff.
Cinnamon doesn’t kill the yeast, the yeast actually ferments more after you add cinnamon my guess is it has small amounts of sugar in it. This is just what I’ve personally seen making cinnamon mead
@@Slinkeymac thanks,I'm just not a big fan of cinnamon I usually add some home made preserving to any sugar washes to damper that yeast taste , and I've kinda learned when doing a small mash like he's doing you don't need the whole thing of turbo yeast and it's almost better if you don't use the whole thing flavors wise
Where is the sanitizer???? This is all good and great but not using food grade sanitizer is the prime sin of fermenting!
Iu ancal cold mi ?
where is your farm location...? I like BBQ yuang bee hive..
Love your channel. How come the Mrs. never appears on camera? You sure talk about her a lot.
I had to watch this, my most favorite memories are of the last mead making videos way back in the day, they were hilarious. Mark go all Viking, It is still (no pun intended LMAO) the best set of videos of yours I have watched for pure entertainment. Never sure if you crew read these comments, but I weirdly enough have a degree in some of this shenanigans. So you were asking for a "Tip". I always "activate" my yeast before pitching it. Basically, you take a small volume say 100mls of honey and water and add your packet yeast a few hours before to a sealed container like a jar of 500mls. This allows the yeast to grow and multiply and be actively growing before you drop it into the brew. . When you add "pitch" the yeast into the fermentation tank, the yeast will already be in a rapidly growing phase and will out grow any other possible contaminants eg bacteria and other things that will ruin your brew. Winning! Other wise, stay safe, always value your testicles and wipe off any traces of your crimes around the home! 👌🦘👍💖
