Notes: We roasted the Tunas (Cactus) on the BBQ, sliced and scooped the guts out, squeezed the skins for the last bit of juice, then froze the whole mess. We picked a 5 gal bucket of Tunas and wound up with 10 lbs of juice (split between two batches) after we thawed and sieved the mess.
Mashing Instructions:
Boil 2 gal of water, cut the flame and add the honey to the hot water. Stir. Stir some more..
Oh yeah, we put the yeast food and a Whirl Floc tablet into the water with the honey.
Pour the honey water over the Tunas mush in the primary fermenter.
Stir. Chill with an immersion chiller to 80 F.
Pitch the yeast. It's all good.
OG 27 Brix.
Extra Ingredients:
las Tunas - 5 lbs of juice per batch
Yeast:
mine: Cotes des blancs
OJ's: US 05, to be followed with Lalvin 1118 (champagne yeast) in secondary
Special Instructions / Notes:
Use leather gloves when dealing with las Tunas!
OJ racked his fraction on 10/28 and reports that the gravity at that time was 1.010. Amazing how much the US 05 attenuated it! He racked onto a slurry of rehydrated Lalvin EC-1118 champagne yeast. His is going to be a very dry mead.
I racked my fraction on 10/29 and the measured gravity was 1.008. The color is an incredible bright red-orange. I'm going to let mine roll without any further yeast additions.
It should be interesting to compare the two melomels in another couple of months. |

| Notes: Fermentation follows the same routine as my Belgian Golden Strong, in that it starts relatively low but ramps up quickly. I start at 62F, but immediately allow it to rise by a degree or so per day. We want clean alcohols and some fermentation character, but letting it start too warm will increase your risk of fusels – it just isn’t worth i |

Notes: Brewed for 10 gal in the fermentors - Split 6gals with Omega - Bring the funk - used two fresh packs - fermentation moved within 24 hours.
Kept at 68 - then moved it up to 72 - then it took itself up to 79. cooled down to 70.
Put 4 gals in with Sac ( Brett trois) - two older vials - grew it up on stir plate for 24 hours - Lagged for 24 hours - I heated it up from 65 to 72 - moved from there. keeping around 72.
forgot yeast nutirent and whirlflock - hop blocker tipped and lots of hop trub in the fermentors.
At mash - PH was a little low - 5.02 - added 1/2 tsp of baking soda = took up to 5.26 - evened out at 5.22. |

After 2 days at 72 degrees, dropped to 65 for 3 weeks and then 40 degrees for 5 more weeks.
Force Carbonated in 5 gallon keg.
Delicious!!!!!!!!!! Super clean with a hint of that roasted chocolate. Lower alcohol, but super flavor, tasted bigger than it was. Perhaps my best session beer ever! |
