Hey all, I found an old(ish) cooking book with few mead recipes from 1950. I am able to get approx measurement of handfull or glass and judging by amount of yeast (ranges from 50-200g) I guess they mean bread yeast that should revived before usage. What surprises me are often given fermenting...

For mead I've heard that other fruit can be used during fermentation. When should the fruit be added? I tried adding cherries in the beginning , but I'm not sure if that could cause infection. I added some of my previous mead in beginning to provide yeast and more importantly to prevent...

Looking to make a mead, the recipe calls for fermaid o. Can I use yeast nutrient in place of?

Dear elders in mead-making, Any suggestions where I went wrong? I made my first pure mead, rather than melomel or metheglin. I have used 3kg of honey (various sorts), dissolved in water to make a 5 litre solution. I have added 1g of wine nutrient and 2 Campden tablets. I had an initial gravity...

Hello, all. Newbie here, seeking some guidance from more experienced minds. My wife bought me a copy of "How To Make Mead Like A Viking" by Jereme Zimmerman for Christmas last year, and I finally cracked it open and dove headlong into trying to make my own sweet nectar. I took 1.25 gallons of...

Hello Fellow Brewers, I visited a local apiary (I live in southern Ontario, Canada) and they showed me one of their products - swamp honey. The honey is made by bees who collect honey from a local marsh/wetland/swamp, and the beekeeper told me they believe the bees largely collect nectar from...

Hello, I have just started my first must going and have been reading all sorts of helpful information, but have a few questions about this adventure. I started my must on Sunday, 04/08/18, and it has been bubbling up nicely. Had to clean up and re-sanitize my airlock after a couple foam-overs...

Ok, I have searched and comeup pretty much empty handed. Does anyone use any brewing software to keep track of their cider and meads? I would like to use one to keep track of the recipes, and also notes etc. Anyone?
