RASPBERRY MEAD START TO FINISH

[razrr]

I started my own raspberry mead cause of you on the 14 of September! It finished fermenting in 10 days! It’s mostly clear now, about 1-2 more weeks and it’ll be ready to bottle!

[BigDaddy-hnoh]

you got to be careful with mead, you drank three or four glasses of that in the next thing you know take it easy son

I'm making a raspberry mead with fall gold raspberries I grew myself, and a few blackberries. I'm wondering if I should add more in secondary, I can never tell how the flavors are going to develop by taste. I'm still pretty new to making mead, tho.

[jaydonblais]

Would it have fermented quicker if the berries were mulled? Or would it make no difference? Or is the difference that the Berry material is more whole, and easier to work around when siphoning?

Could you make a video explaining time frames? I feel like thats the least spoken thing on this channel.

What ABV did you get? I've only used Lalvin 71b, and I tend to get around 11-14% ABV (though I've never done raspberry mead). Have you ever used Lalvin 71b? Is Lalvin K1-v116 better?

I know this is a dumb question but it can be stored for how long? Forever?

[MarkDoesThings.]

Do i add more ywast after syphoning the first batch?

[vincentlinsin]

I loved everything but the end

Mead should be drunk from a horn :P

[ryanbates]

Should fermentstion and back sweeten involve the same ingredients or spices?

[JohtoJordan]

Anything happen if you ferment it twice? Like instead of the water you use previously made mead?

[bossrollup]

How long do you leave it to age before consumption, I know this kind of varies but as a general rule?

[pz]

Just purchased your recipe book and plan on starting my first batch ASAP. Quick question, would you get more flavor by crushing the fruit or cutting into even smaller chunks?

[elijahcrawford]

Help me out with the physics of siphoning, would it also pick up solids like stuff that is less dense than the water or would solids not be able to travel up the tube?

[VodkaNSunglasses]

How would we know if this is safe to drink?

[instantgaming]

Do you have to have the thingy on top of the fermentation bottle ?

[derrickharmon]

Need try making some strawberry banana bog wine. Its all the rage in Casper Wyoming.

[BSRHD]

Are there risks of methanol with this process ? Or any other dangers?

I made a mixed berry mead with raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. I wanted to add a citrus flavor to it and couldn’t decide between lemon and orange so I bought and zested a couple citrons… do not use citrons for mead. It ruined the entire thing lol. I’ve had it sitting for almost a year and it’s only just starting to not taste horrendous

[sarang_sheth]

Don't you have to cook the fruit to get rid of any bacteria on it??
