So I’m new to the game. Just making a basic honey mead but want to begin a blackberry mead. Question, when it comes to fruit, do you just rinse them after they have thawed or use the same food safe sanitizer to make sure they are clean? Don’t want to screw up my mead lol.

@theastronomer5800 9 ай бұрын

I would not rinse them after they thawed as you'll lose a lot of the juice - the point of freezing them is so that the cells burst and they release more juice. They should be fine, but in the future rinse them BEFORE you freeze them. I'm sure you'll make a good mead! Just let it sit for ~3 months before you bottle it. And if you use the full berries, then rack after a month and then let it sit for two more months (I squeeze my fruit in a cheese cloths and then just use the juice).

@sneediumminer 6 ай бұрын

to sterilize the fruit you can blender it, then add potassium metabisulfite which will kill all the wild buggies. add the honey and water and let it sit for a good 24 hours, then add the yeast you want to use a wine yeast for this because the wine yeast is tolerate of the sulfites and other yeast may not be

Woah! My guy let me help you out! Solid across the board shy one ..your using WAY too much yeast nutrient that is dap you only need maybe 1/10th the amount. Secondly, that yeast is perfect but I prefer Lavin 71B yeast because it is a strong fermenter but bread yeast works fine as well... I normally take 1 teaspoon of bread yeast and add it to a cup of boiling water the point is to kill it because the wine yeast will eat the dead yeast offering micronutrients that the dap you used doesn't offer ..food for thought and happy yeast!

How to get sanitazer

@eddavanleemputten9232 Жыл бұрын

For maximum flavour and juice extraction, let the honey sit on the fruit for a few hours. Osmosis being the wonderful mechanism that it is, the lower water content of the honey and the higher water content of the fruit will try to balance out… and more juice will come out of the berries. Goven the extremely high sugar content of the honey, the density of the entire mixture as I see it in this short won’t allow fermentation to start. After a few hours, add the water, nutrient and yeast.

If you want carbonation, wait till the ferment is done (like 100% done), then rack the mead into their bottles (say 500ml bottles), add a teaspoon of sugar into each one and seal. Leave those bottles at room temp in a dark place (covered in a heavy bag in case of a bottle bomb) and they will carbonate over the course of a week or so. This is called bottle conditioning, you see it in pricier beers (look for the sediment at the bottom of the bottle to identify companies that do this).

It's an extremely low risk in this process, you will likely make a little but it won't be in concentrations high enough to pose any risk. If your new I definitely recommend getting a kit of some sort that comes with instructions, kits will often have things pre measured and you just have to follow the instructions. It will let you get a feel for the process without having to worry about if you calculated everything properly, my family exclusively uses kits for making wine when we make our own.
