why haven’t you tried making your own mead yet Jow Forums? its easy and even if you’re underaged in the states, none of the places i lived could do shit about brewing/drinking your own mead/wine/beer
pic related is from my most recent batch. i added some black tea, rose hips, and dates for flavor
he’s a good vid on how to get started

I have never even had alcohol before let alone making my own
when making gallon batches i always use 3 cups of honey
oh look, prison toilet wine made at home!
neato
next water
it’s fun and easy. mead is basically water, honey, and yeast. plus two weeks ferment time minimum
adding my rosehip/black tea for flavor
yeah i wouldn’t suggest making pruno. it uses baking yeasts which aren’t cultivated to take into account methanol production
Can you buy that giant jar online?
shake it until it’s all mixed even
This is what vikangz drank
here’s my dates. i’m just gonna bloop them in there
sure. just look up 1 gallon carboys. the video i posted shows you how you can do it with an plastic gallon water bottle too
give the honey back jamal
(just kidding you seem like a cool guy)
only after letting my yeast sit in some lukewarm water for a few minutes do i add it to the mix. here’s my favorite yeast to use for mead (can give you around 18% abv)

lol more like pedro tbqdesu
oh my bad
Don't drink. It's bad for you.
i’m using an airlock, but you could just put a balloon over the mouth and poke 4-5 holes in it
gonna wait 2 weeks for this guy, give it a taste test, and go from there. anyone want to suggest a name for this batch?
i’ve also wanted to try an experiment with an old batch of wine i made;
since ethanol freezes as lower temps than water, i plan to freeze this batch and use gravity to separate the alcohol and syrups from the water in it and see if it will fortify my wine
if this works, i want to try it on my mead too
need some vices or my life would be boring
ops enema
it works, they have done that (freeze distillation) for hundreds of years. doesnt get you 160 proof stuff but it can raise the percentage to more than 30 if you rewlly freeze it a few times. Applejack is a drink made pf freeze distilled hard cider
oh hell yeah. would you know if multiple freezes would take away the syrups? i mostly just want to concentrate the flavors and get to around the consistency of port wine
no the only thing that freezes is the water. you will lose a small amount of syrup because when you drain the alcohol some of it stays trapped in the ice because it flows a lot slower but it doesnt make much of a difference. you can definitely get to port wine alcohol levels with freezing it, and because there is so much less water the flavor will be really concentrated too
Not halal for you?
that was everything i was hoping for thanks for the heads up user
more dates than I could ever get
Kvass is better.
i try to avoid gluten in my brews because it makes me bloat. it sucks though because i love scotch
I honestly want to try this. Should you let the mead age or drink it immediately?
mead always gets better with age, but with lower abv there’s still enough sugars in it for it to be good to drink immediately after ferment. you will have to filter some sediment as well so you don’t get any of the dead yeast that will gather on the bottom over time
A good thread? On this board? wtf i love Jow Forums now
ok make bread now
This board is always good when you’re not around.
my gf makes really good banana bread but i suck at baking
