OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO LAUREN ????? SHE HAS A HUGE SKIN BURN THING BEHIND HER LEFT ELBOW AREA !!!!!!! GIRL WHAT HAPPENED ???? (oh nvm it is just tattoos, sigh... -_-")

Did you just make a cult

you might want to revisit all the technologies to get you to fermentation refine your final product to somthing more consistant with a craftsman of the era . the examples produced so far in previous episodes have been proof of concept but not craftsman level you then apply time spent and assign a value to the product.... which would not have been saleable . given that your planning on an alcohol subset to the series and its preperation requires extreme cleanlyness and repatiability i feel you should at least refine pottery glass and metal working skills to a greater level before moving on to manufacturering ingestables . processing of your raw materials has also been poor in the past resulting in failure and inferior products so actually spending time learning more than the history of the process and doing it to provide a larger insight of what is actually needed to make it and make it functional or ediable and also economically , this basically requires you to live the life of the miner or farmer or forester or smith or or or long enough to devolope some skill at each stage of the process to final product. then producing a quantity of each sufficient to make the next part economically viable and so on until your producing quantities of finished product at saleable prices in reasnoable time. no im not suggesting you grow 10 aceres of corn then harvest it by hand and dry it and mill it and and and moonshine,,,,but have a garden grow enough harvest that dray it all mill it all ,,,buy enough modern corn meal to make x ammount instead of a fraction same for the storage and equipment go ahead and progress to where you blow your own glass carboy then rent the alumimun kegs...the series is great and informational funny at times but i feel your final results are mostly halfassed attempts and wonder what the results would be if you really cared about the artestry of whatever it is your producing not just its ability to saisify a requirement for technological advancment.

To prevent cross-contamination of the vessel you should've burned it in fire to sterilize

why don't you try to make pulque the next time, I will like it.

Well, at least it wasn't AIDS shadow leg- ends.

You mean like the Demo-Ranch episode? XD

LOL

Sponsored by who, dear?

Missed opportunity.

Spot on. I actually thought that as soon as he mentioned they used the same vessels for cheese

I think they likely picked up some Lactobacillus

Until you can glaze it!

But what if they just heat them up for a while as a way of sanitizing the environment.

@@xenaretos you still have stuff in the pottery itself, and you increase the risk of the pot cracking anyway.

For real

Second that.

@@Insorainity bee cult:D

It specifically made me think of the Dragon Acolytes from Dark Souls II.

Either Dark Souls or Silent Hill.

The Witcher 3, one of crones had such helmet.

That was my first thought. Dark souls or darkest dungeon

@@Sientir yep

You would probably?, I would definately

Not to mention the "nope" factor of all those bees, especially the buzzing at the end. I have a phobia of stinging insects and though I'm usually chill with honeybees (since they're not nearly as aggressive as, say, paper wasps and yellow jackets, and since they're such important pollinators) seeing and HEARING so many of them was pretty freaky for me.

You are the best thing to happen to this channel! You give so much energy and life to the videos.

it looked like tons of fun!! those masks are Halloween aesthetic af. looks like something outta the blare witch project lol i'm kind of obsessed

If you can't get a carboy/the correct yeast, From personal experimenting I can tell you that a bottle of spring water + honey + bread yeast with any kind of air lock and some time produces decent mead. The bottle is sanetized before the water goes in, so that's taken care of, use one fresh squeeze bottle of honey (+-350grams) a 1.5 liter bottle of water, but remove .4-.5l of water for head room as it will foam a lot more than professional yeasts. Ad the honey to the leftover water add bread yeast, put on an air lock and wait. Drinkable after a few weeks and clarifies over +-3-6 months with my tries for the best taste. Although not ideal a baloon with holes pricked into it with a sewing needle/pin can act as a very low end/ghetto airlock, although most online stores sell a decent one for 2-3€/$ so if you buy anything, get that.

@@MrJon1157 Yes that works great, I am looking into making lower ABV ones as with my usual mix I top out at about 18 ABV. The bread yeast one I described above is the result of testing out a ton of different option to where I ran out of containers to ferment in, I did add a good airlock myself but have used the balloon trick when I just started making meads.

And wait a few months till it clears up. Mead should be clear, not cloudy

We generally just used Chlorine to clean our stuff, and rinsing it with water 5-8 times. For cleaning products if you're really unsure how well it's going to kill stuff, for me just going with chlorine is a good idea since it basically kills 99.9% (as seen on tv ;) ) of bacteria. The rinsing part 5-8 times with fresh water (tap is good enough) is a precaution, as long as your bottle/vessel doesn't contain large chunks of organic matter or pores normally it should actually be "laboratory clean" after the water wash, the chlorine first step is just making sure all traces of life is gone. I say "laboratory clean" because after washing something 5 times with water (don't be a smart ass) it's generally considered clean enough for most basic functionss, since water is a great solvent. We weren't doing critical chemistry or biology here, but just making "foods and beverages" a cheap disinfectant and the water would dilute and wash off the left over chlorine and bio-mater. What also matter is the air log, just because most bad taste is going to come from the oxygen, because unless you farted in your glass bottle the biggest contamination is going to be the yeast by a couple of GRAMS not ppm, so it should have no problem overpowering any other contamination. At least that was our logic back then, when we allegedly made bootleg liquor.

oh my.. a long time ago, a friend gave me his home made. one was straight, one was spiced and the other i forget. actually, he gave me six brown bottles. i loved them all. id love to make mead. he did say some parts of the process were labour intensive.. i never got to thank him for his gift.. i still think about it today and i think it was early 2000s when i got it.

I realy hope you are wrong and Andy thought about heating the vessel out before reusing it for another project. You might be right though...

Yeah. Sometimes I think they could be experts, but I like learning from the technology with them

Ash + Slip = Simple Glaze

@@Serahpin what is slip?

@@PyrusFlameborn Watered down clay to the point that you can paint with it.

i feel like i remember them making a glaze in one of their vids

@stockart whiteman ty

If it made it more acidic, I think that is actually desired. I have watched videos that explain that it is a good idea to add a little citrus to your mead to help. I do know that mead can be pretty bad when it is young. I am curious if it just needs to be aged and degassed.

@@Dizzykitty817 I wonder if the problem was too much airflow. Maybe a narrow-opening pot would be preferred, with an upside-down cup with spacers for airflow placed on the inside bottom of the cup and the same spacers touching the lip of the pot, with plaster in between the outside of the pot's lip and inside of the upside-down cup. That way, the airflow could be reduced by one or two orders of magnitude (each order of magnitude = 10 times more than the previous order of magnitude, for those who wonder).

P

That ending physically hurt my eyes lol

If you watch, he does actually do that sometimes.

@@elijahhmarshall Been watching the channel for a long time, so I have definitely seen the pros he consults like the sword casting guy, the Egyptian weaponry/combat specialist, the iron bloom smelting guys, the brewing guy. What I'm getting at is that it would still be enjoyable content, in line with the theme of the channel, to see the hosts go through classes that increase their skill and help them produce better, fit-for-purpose tools. For example, if they made a larger, better designed earthenware vessel only to be used for fermenting drinks, they could avoid the cross contamination from the cheese making episode. I dunno, it's just an idea.

Solid suggestion

Yep

Create a flower meadow and you'll do the bees a great service!

yay!

Yes I did know that, it’s one of the reasons I’m making mead rn for my sisters wedding. I’m not making a months worth though

Yellow jackets kill bees in my area.

"Hmm, that looks like a wasp. I wonder if anyone commented on it." :)

Ninkasi, the Sumerian Goddess of Beer, might be a better choice!

Ironically, you aren't far-off with people think things actually work.

I was thinking that a 2 week fermentation was short. My first batch fermented for several months, and my most recent batch has been bubbling away (roughly 1 bubble every 10s or so from the air lock) for just over a month. 2 weeks will result in only partial fermentation. My first batch took several months (including settling/carboy conditioning)

Well, "how can we get drunk" has been one of humanity's driving questions since the dawn of civilisation ;)

Its a large part of human history. Alcohol is a social lubricant.

Guess what boyo, most of human history is a giant alcohol scheme! We've been chasing after stuff to get us drunk since we first let some grain water sit too long.

@@starlight4649 that and fermented dairy. mmmmmmmmmmmmm cheese.. yogurt..

OMG!! LOL, you just HAD to go there!!!!! 😂😂😂

My grandpa raised bees for years and I got to watch him while growing up and it’s really cool how the process goes all without harming the bees
