Hi everyone! Hope you enjoyed this updated version of the Strawberry Mead, the old version is located on my website www.faewoodmead.com if you feel inclined to watch it. This mead came out SO WELL I've been hoarding it haha!
Ingredients/What I did
2.5lb Dutch Gold Clover Honey
1/2 Packet of Mangrove Jack M05 yeast
G: 1.086
Be sure to use a nutrient schedule (I had so many meads going at this time that I do believe I forgot to feed as regularly as I should have)
Dropped to G: 1.012 (should drop to 1.00)
Stabilized
Next day rack onto 4lbs of strawberries
2 weeks later remove strawberries
G: 1.016 (strawberries add some sugar!)
Added 1/4 tsp tannin, 1 tsp lactose & 1/4 cup Tupelo honey.
Allow tannin to bind & mead to clear, then bottle!
9.7%

Beautiful color. You can also macerate some strawberries on the honey, then use that to backsweeten. For those that don't know, macerating is basically putting sugar on fruit and allowing the sugars to pull the juice out of the berries. I usually do 1 lb of honey on 1-2 lbs of berries in a closed container, toss it in the fridge for a week or 2, then use the resultant syrup to back sweeten with.

I've been making wine,beer,and mead for over 40 years. My dad got me into the hobby from an early age. It's nice to see young people carrying on with a tradition that goes back to the dawn of humanity. It's just one more thing that people can do at home with family and friends. Bread making, pickling, canning,fermenting vegetables,(etc) the list is endless.

@@FaewoodMead I started raising bees about four years ago. I found a feral colony on a low hanging branch on my property that I nursed back to health in a langstroth hive as we were going into winter because I was sorry for them. They turned out to be A.H.B (Africanized honey bees). I started again with really sweet natured colonies. I got into doing trap outs and cut outs and have found abandoned hives where water has infiltrated (usually trees with lost tops). The naturally occurring yeast strains, water, and honey produce alcohol. In my opinion I believe that our species and others that evolved before us have been taking advantage of this opportunity to get buzzed/food source for time immemorial.

@@FaewoodMead have you ever made a braggot? It's similar to barleywine. A true braggot is made with grain but the main fermentable is honey. I usually omit using hops. Hops are a " new world" addition. Braggots have been made in Europe for at least 900 years. The traditional bittering agents were wormwood or herbs. I usually don't use a bittering agent because I like the honey to be detectable and be allowed to have a presence and give it's mouth feel.

So glad to see you back! Take care of yourself Mandy, the reason for your absence is one that takes time. Extra hugs for when you feel the need for them. Keep them in your back pocket and use as needed. 💖 I need to use this method and compare it to mead with fermented strawberries… and to mead made with strawberries in both primary and post fermentation. That means I need another wide mouth fermenter. Little tidbits on how things are on my end: Strawberry wine racked and bottled, it’s crystal clear and very fruity. I used a crapload of frozen strawberries, some vanilla and oak chips in secondary. Quince mead cleared and ready to back sweeten and bottle next weekend (hopefully!). Banana mead fermented out and starting to clear. On another note: Teen Queen’s boyfriend seems interested in learning to home brew. She’s slowly working on him to pluck up the courage to ask me. “If you like her mead that much, ask Mom to teach you. Instead of ASKING the source, why not BE the source? Don’t worry, she won’t bite. She’ll be happy to show you.” LOL. Gotta love her twofer approach. Butter up the mother with an interest in her hobby and the boyfriend with a potentially endless source of the tipple of his choice. 😂

I think it's important to add that the reason you use the filling wand when bottling is because you want the mead to fill the bottle as gentle as possible and not introduce oxygen by pouring it. As it can cause the mead or wine to oxidize and create off flavors while its maturing in the bottle.

Really love your videos. I got into wine making to make a strawberry wine, and a couple of my first batches were a strawberry wine, and a strawberry mead. Just had a bottle of the mead, aged 2 years. It was delicious. I have always fermented the fruit, like the flavor it gives, but I will try adding the fruit, post fermenting some day.

@eddavanleemputten9232 Жыл бұрын

Both are delicious. Just slightly different animals. I’ve got a strawberry wine that just got bottled. I used a massive amount of strawberries (gotta love a sale, LOL!), added some apple juice and tannin and a smidge of lemon juice and nutrient. Before starting off I allowed my strawberries to thaw, then added the honey and let it sit: the sugar in the honey will extract a lot of juice. Once the berries were thawed I added pectic enzyme. Once that had sat 25 hours I used a slotted spoon to get the berries in a brew bag. Then I added apple juice and water in a roughly 1:1 ratio and the lemon juice, gave it all a stir and checked my gravity, adjusted to where I was happy with it, added nutrient, stirred it in and pitched my yeast. Allowed to ferment for 3 days, took the berries out. Allowed fermentation to finish, gave it a taste. Decided it needed oak and vanilla. Allowed to clear, racked, back sweetened, bottled and pasteurised. Now it gets to sleep for a year. Given my mead stash and rate of consumption I’ll have several bottles that reach the 2-year stage. I’m looking forward to how it develops! Yay for well aged meads!

Another thing, about how long you leave the fruit in. Strawberries, as you said, have that risk of the plastic flavor coming from the seeds so they are peculiar for that. Just as info though, consider that, in wines meant to drink young, which means you drink them when they're one year old to no more than three ( wines are usually bulk aged for a year before bottling) the fermenting must is separated from the skins after 4/5 nights (in many modern wines they premacerate but that's another thing I commented about before, but it's the same, they cold macerate for 4/5 nights as well, and some wineries still macerate during fermentation). When they want to make a wine meant to age, they leave the must with the skins up to 15 days, which is considered a crazy amount of time. This is done in order for the must/wine to absorbe more acids and tannins from the skins, which is preserves the wine when aging. Moreover, most berries are reacher in acids and tannins than grapes. I know most homebrewers advice to let the fruit in the fermenter for two weeks, but just consider the wider wine tradition, when doing this. The same concept is applied to cider, they decide how long to leave the must/cider with the apple skins for the same reasons and with the same purpose. Anyway, Mandi! It's all good! See you next time!

I'm glad to see your mead was a success. Beautiful clarity. I won't go into the differences between your strawberry mead and mine as they are different animals cut from the same cloth, but I will make one suggestion, which is to start with the Big Mouth Bubbler first. This will save you racking time. Transfer to jug for conditioning after primary and pulling out strawberries. So instead of jug to bubbler to jug, you just go from bubbler to jug. Just my 2 cents.

Looks great! Nice job. I'm no expert by any means, but I believe that Fermaid K contains DAP, which is toxic to yeast during early fermentation. I noticed that you put some in there at pitch with the yeast, which I suspect is the reason why it didn't ferment all the way dry. Many nutrient schedules I've seen frontload Fermaid O before using Fermaid K - or you can wait 24 hours before adding the first nutrient addition. Anyway, enjoy the strawberry mead! Save a bottle for next summer!

@@FaewoodMead watermelon is not at all difficult. The important part is to not have too much cellulose in your must. I only hand squeeze the pulp or use a fruit press and cheese cloth. I experimented with just grinding the pulp on a 14 gallon batch and the result was terrible. The cell walls will also break down and ferment into undesirable alcohols. I prefer to use one very large melon and separate the rind from the pulp. I sanitize my hands and colander and hand squeeze/ press the juice out. I then run the juice through cheesecloth or a fine mesh grain bag. An addition of 1/3 lemon or 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid and yeast nutrient will help your yeast immensely. My last batch was bubbling steadily in the first two hours. I'm actually having a glass now. It's a little young still so if the gravity hasn't changed by next week I will bottle it and let it rest a few months. I just racked it off this morning but it has a nice balance of watermelon and dark honey.

Don’t crush the seeds and you’ll be fine

Way too many chemicals being added for my personnel preference, i only use them to sterilise and stabilise the fermentation safely. To me mead is supposed to be a primitive and super simple process. No clearing other than filtering, settling and syphoning late stages.

You should try Mazing without stabilizing. You will notice the taste difference. People that are sensitive to stabilizers will notice instantly.

Definitely needs acid… not gonna add any acid… needs some sweetness to bring down that high acid point. Ok.

That’s why I changed my film style, too easy to make mistakes. Mead changes with time, and I’m not perfect! 🤷🏼‍♀️
