How To Easily Make Your Own Mead

Thanks to http://bardicbrews.net and Daniel Vitalis for the inspiration. Also thanks to Steven Harrod Buhner and his book Sacred Herbal Healing Beers.

In this video I share with you step by step how to make your own mead. This recipe is a full hive mead which means that it contains honey, royal jelly, bee pollen, and propolis.

Can you use a nutritional yeast?

I'm very well versed on the yeast thing...

Thanks for sharing...

@lucidrummer its not that kind of yeast. you'd need a champagne or mead yeast.

Here's some tips for the next time you make mead. Put some clove, cinnamin, and apricot into the the spring water and let it soak overnight, then put it on lowest temp. on the stove and then put your bee product in and stir. Take it off the heat and then add the honey and stir well. Pour into glass jar and add the yeast and put your air lock on and wait. I like to drink it after 30 days of fermentation. It's wonderful and a great present for friends during the Holidays!

@herbgardner00 whats the vibe off mead like? rum alows me to think normal, vodka numbs me, beer can fatique me. alcohol pretty much sucks imo but wowndering if mead offers a unique buzz/high?

[herbgardner00]

@essenesearcher its a unique buzz, i found it to be a bit stimulating at first. def doesnt numb or dumb you, esp if its a homebrew.

I came across that same brand of royal jelly, bee pollen, propolis mix at my whole foods today and it reminded me of this video. I'm not sure if I trust it. What are your thoughts on it?

[keverc]

I have 2 gallons of mead fermenting right now. One is clover honey and granny smith apples it should be real good.

I am not the VideoMaker but for my Beers I use roughly 1 gram of yeast per gallon.

[DopeDivinity]

Great Video! I definitely have to make this. I remember reading about this in Buhner's book, and you missed one thing... The Angry Bees! :D - - - - I've actually had the thought of simulating the bee venom with Stinging Nettle. I don't remember if that was Buhner's suggestion or a thought of my own. That mead certainly looks incredibly nourishing. Thanks for the inspiration!

[sd3058]

hey how many grams of yeast should you do per gallon of water?

Hey Brandon I went in my Brewing store in town and that place was so cool and unique they were awesome very cheap supplies. The guy was very nice but told me it can take 6 months to a year before drinkable is this true? Confused thanks for the help man your channel is full of info I'm learning a lot.Love youtube lol

I wanted to clean out a jar of honey that I used and filled it with warm water and shook it so to clean out the leftover honey, bgut I forgot and let it sit for a few days and then it smelled like alcohol which makes me think you only need honey and warm water to ferment and don't need to add yeast to make mead?

[YairGeva7]

4 jars for 1 dollar? damn thats cheap.

[WolfTheAtheist]

You put honey in boiling/hot water to make the honey flow freely out of the container
