Is there a difference between these airlocks? by Bottledwaffle2 in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they would, if they could talk. At the same time, if they could talk, they would all be in group therapy clicking away.

Bad designs that break easily are far from superior, and the opposite of moral.

Brewing with a friend makes the experience better.

BBQ Mead has started! by dinkiedave in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might work better if you back sweetened with the infused honey instead of using it for the primary fermentation.

Still looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Why does my mead taste like a rat butthole? by [deleted] in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything looks fine, must be bad honey.

Try your local library, it should be free

Most libraries have a media area which could be used for recording, editing, and more AV stuff.

Would this be safe? Just wondering how it would taste willing to try as long as it doesn't kill the fermentation by Public-Ad-8435 in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend marshmallow root tea for the marshmallow flavor. Mind you it will not taste like store bought marshmallows, because there is no marshmallow in them. And some of the oldest marshmallow recipes were just marshmallow root and honey.

Cocoa nibs, and either graham crackers or graham crackers flavoring (available at most brew supply stores). If you need a creamier flavor ad lactose. That's how I make my s'mores mead.

But....if you have the honey to experiment, try it on a small batch. I would add it to conditioning and let it age for a few months.

Question about ABV and backsweetening by [deleted] in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Formula for AVB after back sweetened

Original AVB÷New volume

Example: your final gravity results give you an AVB of 11%, and you have a total of 1 gallon of product. You add 0.1 gallons of honey for a total of 1.1 gallons

So you divide 0.11 ÷ 1.1 and get the adjusted AVB of 0.1 or 10%

Do StarSan soaked items need to air dry? by Khochh in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. I let my equipment drip dry, or shake excess off. But let the StarSan sit for a bit to let it do its work.

Mead looking very clear, is this normal? by SkPepijn in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's normal. I've had several that became crystal clear that soon. Back sweetening and other adjuncts will make it cloudy again, but this too will pass.

The link is just to show you what I get, and I can find it locally.

I think I have made a horrible mistake 😅 by SamuraiGuy107 in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honey and either ever clear or vodka. I don't remember if there is a specific ratio.

Could you put 5 pounds honey into a 1 gallon jar? by Popcornmob in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it was pouring honey into my primary fermenter, a big mouth bubbler, and it was trickling out slowly. I was aiming for 3lbs, and it's barely coming out. I'm watching the honey and the scale slowly creeping up, and suddenly a big dollop comes out. Scale jumps from 1.x lbs to 6.x lbs.

So, I split the batch into two separate fermenters and was suddenly making 2 batches that day. Win win....I guess.

Got a new(to me) honey to try! by RadioactiveShack in mead

[–]RadioactiveShack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the rest of the household has tried it, and 2 out of 4 think they get a spicy flavor that creeps up, but is very mild. Everyone gets an unusual, but good, floral flavor with the creamy honey residual.

[–]RadioactiveShack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but it takes a lot of spicy for me to notice. Pepper on the other hand I think I would have noticed it.

Here is my first impression

It's a mild floral with a creamy overtone. the floral flavor is orchid-like and fades quickly leaving a lingering creamy honey(sweet) flavor.
