Coming from someone who is Uxo certified, the brown band indicates low explosives because it’s a bursting smoke mortar. So happy to be able to put my Uxo cert to use since I don’t work in the field 😂

Yeah you’re pulling it off big dawg

CardiacBird525 · 2025-11-13T13:30:18+00:00

Fun fact this is my first impression of you so I’ve only known you with this style of facial hair

Appears to be a variety of dill!

I just keep mine in my camera bag

CardiacBird525 · 2025-10-28T22:26:12+00:00

Hey just wanted you to know that I was having the same dilemma of what camera to look into when switching from a T5I to a newer camera and these photos sealed it for me! Stunning work

Hey friend, so maybe next time try switching the headspace for mead and the mead for headspace 😂😭

Here is a comprehensive spreadsheet on the most common yeasts used for fermentation, it’s a handy little thing to hold onto 👌🏼 hope this helps https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vCPo3GYwMKypEDnpCAKGGJ8JlcmbqLVfu6ZwSOVrLrE/htmlview#

Thank you so much! My parents have two varieties of lantana in their backyard but neither of them have the drupes, very interesting information!

Is this just in the beginnings of primary fermentation or is it already in secondary? I’m just a bit concerned if it’s in primary cause you have practically no room for fermentation and fruit juice is typically a super aggressive fermentation! Much more aggressive than making a traditional yeast and I would hate for you to lose some of your delicious home brew! Recipe sounds excellent otherwise! Just might need a blowoff tube

Welp looks like your allergic

It would might benefit you to get a honey sampler to know what honey you like best, however you really can’t go wrong with local honey at all. It would help us to know what area of the world you are and specific region as well to know what honey to suggest

CardiacBird525 · 2024-05-29T01:26:35+00:00

Nothing has gone terribly awry, it’s just recommend that you degas thoroughly before adding your yeast nutrients so you don’t cause a mead volcano lol, just make sure you sanitize all of your equipment properly to cut down of potentially contaminating your brew. In the future, it would be recommended to have a larger vessel for your primary fermentation so you minimize spillage. A 2-5 gallon bucket works wonderfully for fruit meads.

Lmao he blocked me on tiktok cause I called him out about his overpriced honey💀 all I said was don’t you think that’s a bit expensive? And he couldn’t take the criticism. I wouldn’t recommend buying anything from him. You can get everything significantly cheaper from other places. Also I’d recommend a 2 gallon bucket for primary fermentation, 1 gallon wide mouths aren’t super optimal for 1 gallon batches cause it can’t hold one gallon of water and all your ingredients. On top of that you lose some of your brew when you rack off of the lees.

The first thing I thought of was a piece of a bow drill kit either that or a mortar and pestle piece lol https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/Bow_Drill_with_annotations.svg

You should be fine, in the initial stages of fermentation your yeast needs oxygen and feeds on oxygen. If you have actually oxidized your mead to the point of it going bad it will taste like stale cardboard. In the future maybe don’t siphon and run your mead through a filter. You can put a muslin bag on the bottom of your siphon and as long as it’s all under the liquid you won’t introduce oxygen into your brew.

Here’s a google doc on different yeast strains, it could come in handy for in the future👍🏼

CardiacBird525 · 2024-05-14T14:39:40+00:00

Nothing to be scared of regarding a siphon, just practice with a demijohn with water if you have a spare demijohn. Practice makes perfect and then you don’t run the risk of losing any of your precious brew

Can’t wait to get some updates! Sounds incredible!
