RE: The Essential Blog: How To Make Your Own Mead (Honey Wine) At Home!!
Thanks for the very detailed guide. How did it taste in the end?
Thanks for the very detailed guide. How did it taste in the end?
It actually turned out quite good. I’ll be honest, I didn’t mention that I actually made half the batch into what is called a Cyser. This is a mead- cider hybrid and it’s actually much better to be honest. It’s aged for about 4-6 months (somewhere in the ballpark) and it really made a difference. The more Fusel alcohols (alcohols that contain 2 or more additional carbons: from stressed out yeast) are hot tasting - like jet fuel ...but they mellow as it ages. Mead or cyser can be very strong right after primary fermentation.
I digressed a bit lol but I have a tendency to do that...
Anyways thanks for stopping by- I really appreciate the comment!
You can digress as much as you like, I find the subject very interesting. Fusel alcohols are the ones that give you a worse hangover right? I might try to make some at home. Would you say it's difficult to do or I would I have a big chance of success the first time?
