Today I’m on a quest to make an amazing dry traditional mead! This traditional mead features mamane blossom honey. Mamane honey is Hawaiian honey that features some really interesting fruity and tropical flavors. A dry traditional mead is one that is 1.010 FG and below (according to the BJCP Guidelines). This mead finished at 1.000 so it was completely dry! The recipe is below and I’m super please with how it turned out. Make sure to subscribe and like for more content and thanks for watching!
Mamane Traditional Recipe:
10 Pounds of Mamane Honey
Water Up to 3.5 Gallons
5 Grams of Omega Jovaru Yeast
8 Grams of Fermaid O (Following TOSNA 3.0)
1 Medium Toast French Oak Spiral

Can really see your production value increasing in this video. I did a dry traditional a while back that came out good using kveik, but I'm thinking of switching to a Belgian abbey yeast to really push the spicy notes to match a honey I have easy access to. Dry trads I think are just fun. I normally serve them chilled for 20 minutes like a white wine, and I think it helps express the charcters a little better.

Have you ever tasted a mead aged in Terracotta? The Brimming Horn brewery (Milton, DE) makes a batch aged 12 months, very unique taste.

@riukrobu Жыл бұрын

Terracotta allows micro oxygenation like barrels, while being completely neutral, unlike barrels which impart also tannins and flavors.

I haven't! That sounds interesting though!

I'm a regular at Brimminghorn, they're always making interesting stuff. Love their meads, they inspired me to branch out into mead making from beer brewing.

Here in Australia, Most of our honey comes from gum trees(Eucalypts) they tend to be quite astringent.We do not have the luxury of choosing your honey

I've had a traditional honey mead ageing for about five months now and I'd like to know, if it smells alcoholic does that mean it's safe to drink? I thought it was a bad batch at first but now I'm kinda curious

I’m a beekeeper in Oregon and I have some honeys that I think are pretty good. Would like some input on which honeys would be best for mead-making and which types of mead would be best for a given honey varietal. Do you accept honey donations in exchange for honey feedback? :)

I'm relatively new to mead making and am wondering if this would be considered a hydromel?

@ManMadeMead Жыл бұрын

Nope! A hydromel is a strength of mead (normally 8% and lower). This is a "standard" mead in strength!

I haven't done a tasting on video since, but I have off camera and it's aging really well! The alcohol presence is mellowing so it is a whole lot smoother.
