Notes: Before starting sanitize all equipment that will come in contact with the mead. If you are concerned about wild yeast in your honey, pasteurize or use campden tablets.
Steps are illustrated here: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/mead/mead-making-tips/
1. Warm up the honey to make it viscous (80F) for easier pouring. Do not heat over 160F.
2. Blend honey and cider with cold water; Top off carboy to 5.25 gallons. For smaller batches, use a 75% water and 25% honey mixture.
3. Add yeast nutrient and stir to oxygenate.
4. Add yeast and ferment at 68F. Use WLP775 English Cider (use a starter) yeast or Lalvin 71B yeast.
5. For the first three days, degas by shaking or stirring with sanitized spoon and add yeast nutrient every 24 hours.
6. Once fermentation is complete (~14-21 days) rack from primary fermenter to secondary and let rest for 2 months to a year.
Add vanilla bean and cinnamon to carboy for optional flavor a few days before bottling.
Bottle when certain fermentation has ceased and let age minimum of two months. |

Notes: Inspired by Duvel's Single Fermentation
--
- sub German pils for Belgian if that's what you have
- sub table sugar for clear candi sugar (that's what I usually do)
- fuggles can be subbed for styrian goldings
- 1388 takes a long time to clear even with gelatin so treat this like a lager and plan to enjoy 2 months from brew day. |

Notes: Yup...tastes like coconut cake.
No clarifiers...meant to be hazy.
Split open and scraped vanilla beans; then dissolved them in 50ml of vodka for about 3 weeks before adding at the kegging stage.
Put toasted coconut in a muslim bag at kegging time. It needs to be weighed down to sink.
