  • Since it is an ancient wine, what people were using instead of hydrometer? They just knew mesurament?

  • @Nightrain80 Maybe they had a recipe like "3 ram's horns of water, 1 of honey, boil in a goat's intestine until you get drunk" ....?

  • Are these US or imperial gallons? sorry to be awkward :)

  • where is the second part?

  • @carcano38 Thats not true at all. He's using a wine yeast which will ferment out most if not all the sugar. Leaving a semi sweet to dry wine. 3lb of honey per gallon is pretty standard fvor mead. You need to go read a book on the subject

  • what is music, please?

  • Excellent video - very well laid out and very clear. May give this a go ourselves...

  • very informative, and I really enjoyed the classic music to go with it. well presented.

    thanks for sharing...

  • @carcano38 Actually 15lbs of honey to 5 gallons of water will make a mildly sweet mead. In fact that is a pretty standard recipe among the mead lovers. A good book would be the "compleat mead maker." And before any grammar police pull me over I realize "complete" is spelled wrong. They use the old english spelling of the word

  • @chefcolby1 as a nutrient maybe...

  • @Nightrain80 I saw one recipe where they said you added the honey until an egg floated to a certain depth. Pretty ingenious to me.

  • hehehe just made some mead must today had a .9 to1 gal batch of Dwójniak mead. it is a honey to water ratio of 1:1, at an SG of 1.175 I used Lalvin K1-V1116 yeast 18% alcohol tolerance 1/4 tsp DAP and 1/4 tsp yeast nutrient will add 1/8 tsp of both in 24-48 hours and again sometime later in the week

  • why the bee pollen

  • is that the handle of an old craftsman screwdriver?
