Notes: I`m primarily using Heather honey in my mead. At least 60/40 when I use a mix of Heather and Flower honey.
2 liter starter @1.04SG, 2 stage.
Filipendula ulmaria ( called Mead spice locally ) was traditionally used as "flavoring", and is this brews source of tannin. Caution; Filipendula ulmaria is a natural source of salicylic acid. Steep the Filipendula ulmaria in 1 liter of water so that it makes a strong, pungent tea. Add the tea to the fermentor the 3rd day.
Add commercially prepared Apple Must/ Apple Juice ( without preservatives like Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid is ok tho ) to the fermentor the 3rd day. The pectinase will help break down any pectin.
Leave to ferment for 30 days. Store for an additional year after botteling. Enjoy =)
End notes:
It was, to my best knowledge, uncommon to use hops in mead. Nor was it common to use any kind of malt. Hops, malt and Achillea millefolium ( a hops substitute, called Beer king locally ) was most commonly use for brewing beer ( beer was for every day use and mead for special occasions ).
You could add a small amount of clove, ginger and nutmeg to make the brew spiced as well ( I use these spices with restraint as I do not want my mead to taste like gingerbread ). Boil the spices for 15 minutes and let the Filipendula ulmaria flowers steep to make the tea.
Carbonation was also rare at best, and then only lightly ( due to lack of pressure proof containers ). |

Notes: Simppeli makeahko maustesima ilman hiilidioksidia (paitsi käymisastiassa muodostunut). Ei keittoa, ei sekundääriä, ei pullotussokeria.
Teko:
- Viipaloi appelsiinit 8x osaan, purista niistä mehut käymisastiaan ja heitä viipalejämät perään.
- Raasta inkivääri ja laita käymisastiaan yhdessä rusinoiden kanssa.
- Murskaa neilikoita ja kanelitankoja hiukan ja laita muskottijauheen kanssa käymisastiaan.
- Lisää hunaja käymisastiaan. Lisää kuumaa vettä ja sekoita hyvin jotta hunaja liukenee kunnolla. Lisää kylmää/kuumaa vettä kunnes vierrettä on yhteensä 12l ja sen lämpötila on n. 20C.
- Mittaa vierteen OG ja lisää hiiva. Sekoita kunnolla ja kauan jotta vierre saa tarpeeksi happea.
- Tämä hiiva pääsee vain 18% alkoholiin asti. Siman lopullinen FG pitäisi olla siis n. 1,015. |

Notes: In 6.5 gal bucket/carbon, add 1.75 gal RO water to the 3.5 gal wort after chilling to fermentation temp (68). Oxegenate, then pitch both the 550 and the Rosealare Blend at the same time. After about a month, rack to 5 gallon carboy (with minimal headspace) and add oak cubes (boil in water about 10 minutes to sanitize and reduce harshest flavors) and any bottle dregs. Bulk age/ferment for about a year or to taste.
Won third place 2018 Cactus Challenge, European Sour Ale and American Wild Ale category. |

Notes: John Palmer recommends toasting the oats before mashing - spread the oats into a thin layer on a baking sheet, then place in a 300-350°F oven for 5-15 minutes, or until they smell like cookies. Avoid burning the oats at all costs |
