The MeadMakr BatchBuildr
Have you ever wondered exactly how much honey you need to make a batch of mead? Or how much nutrient you need and how to dose your must? The MeadMakr BatchBuildr is here to the rescue.
Simply use the sliders to select the batch volume you want to make, the target alcohol by volume for your mead, and your desired sweetness level. The BatchBuildr will provide your target original gravity (OG) and an estimate for the amount of honey you will need to make the batch.
The amount of honey may very depending on your honey's sugar content (the BatchBuildr assumes a 79.6% sugar content). For consistency between batches, ensure the target original gravity and vary the honey content slightly as needed to meet the OG.

General Instructions
1. Clean and sanitize everything that will come into contact with your must.
2. Dissolve honey in small amount of water (leave room to add additional water to reach batch volume).
3. Add water to your batch volume minus volume for rehydration.
4. Aerate the must with a drill stirrer or shake/stir vigorously for 15 minutes.
5. Rehydrate, temper and pitch yeast per Go-Ferm rehydration instructions below.
6. Record speci c gravity and temperature for future reference.
7. Apply airlock. Ferment per your yeast temperature specs. Low 60 deg F is su cient for most wine yeasts.
8. Degas twice per day for rst week of fermentation.
9. Dose nutrients per nutrient protocol instructions below.
10. Rack when yeast is done fermenting, as evidenced by no drop in SG for two full weeks. Also rack within 3 weeks of sediment layer forming on the bottom of an aging vessel to avoid sur lie or autolysis avors.
11. When mead clears, bottle and enjoy. After 2-3 months, mead should be ready to drink.
Go-Ferm Rehydration Procedure
For 3 packet(s) yeast, dissolve 18.75g of Go-Ferm Protect in 375mL hot water (the hotter the better). The warmer the water, the easier it will be to dissolve the Go- Ferm.
When the water reaches 104 deg F (40 deg C), pour in your yeast. Give the slurry a quick swirl. After 15 minutes, begin tempering yeast by adding 188mL must to the yeast slurry every 5 minutes.When yeast slurry temperature is within 10 deg F of must temperature, pitch yeast into fermenter.
Fermaid K / Fermaid O / DAP Nutrient Protocol
The total amount of Fermaid O, Fermaid K, and DAP that will be added to your must are 10.2g, 11.4g, and 9.9g, respectively. The nutrients will be divided into 4 staggered nutrient additions. To avoid mead eruption accidents, degas must and
MeadMakr / ProudlypoweredbyWordPress
dissolve yeast nutrient doses in 1 cup must prior to adding to the fermenter.
At 24 and 48 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 5.1g Fermaid O to your must.
At 72 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 5.7g Fermaid K and 4.95g DAP to your must.
When the must reaches the 1/3 sugar break (1/3 of all available sugars are consumed, i.e. 1.120 starting gravity reaches 1.080 or 21 Brix reaches 14 Brix), but no later than 7 days after yeast pitch, add the last dose of 5.7g of Fermaid K and 4.95g of DAP.
If mead starts to show signs of yeast stress from low nutrients after last nutrient dose (evidenced by sulfur smells), add 5.1g Fermaid O as needed to supplement for a high nutrient requirement yeast.

Notes: 480 oz of apple juice
Added .9 lb of Turbinado.
Made a 2 step starter of WLP001
Brought apple juice to build and mixed in honey, brown sugar, and turbinado.
Original Instructions
This brew is an iteration of a few ciders using different grain bills (juice to honey ratios) with various yeasts.
Notes:
5lbs = 5 Gal. Apple Juice (if this is your first cider, use organic juice without potassium sorbate; it will kill the yeast and not ferment). Don't think I used maltodextrin here.
The rest of the grain bill is accurate. If a little less kick is needed, try one of the alternates below. I'm using WLP001 this time because of its tolerance for high alcohol, higher fermenting temp and because it finishes sweater (personally I prefer the dryness of the EC-1118 but then it's closer to Cyser territory).
I'm thinking ABV should be close to 10%. Also, because OG will be relatively high I'm using a starter. One could also double pitch with decent results. I've pitched one yeast pack before and still not had any problems.
Basic steps: Boil 2 gal. apple juice and add honey stirring constantly. (Honey is heavy and will sink to the bottom. It burns easily like candi syrup.) Boil juice, honey and sugar together for at least 20 minutes. Combine wort with remaining juice once temps drop to pitching levels.

Notes: Probably won't be bitter enough, note to self; change the hop profile, add the hallertau later, use something else for bittering.
- As expected, hops were a little low in intensity.
- Early tastings were very banana, and alcohol, it really just tasted like some weird banana liquer or something. 5 months later the initial "I'm drinking straight alcohol" mellowed into a very smooth tasty beer. Banana flavours have also mellowed. It's become a favourite at parties, where I'll pour 1 600 ML bottle into 3 wine glasses. Carbonation also really only became apparent after about 4 months, my storage area is generally between 20-23C in summer. |
