Tamarind Hibiscus Cinnamon Orange Mead
This was a fun experiment that had pretty satisfying results. Something to note after messing with tamarind, is that it is very high in tartaric acid, and hibiscus has an acidic taste as well. This mead was difficult to ground, and in fact, the cinnamon, vanilla and oak really didn’t make much impact. I do…

Blackberry Apple Almond Mead
Blackberry Apple Almond is a delightful combination! I 100% recommend trying this mead, and even got props from other professional mead-makers on the quality of flavor and lack of ethanol heat. Feel free to play with ingredient amounts and the type of honey used. I highly recommend a yeast that performs well with dark fruits…

Fig, Pear, & Almond Mead
Can you make mead with nuts? This is a question that’s debated on in many forums across the internet regarding mead, and the answer is YES. The reason it’s such a hot topic is, if you ferment with nuts, the mead can turn rancid due to oil. Used in secondary, nut oil will leave a…

Mango Chili Mead
This recipe is based off of the “Chili Mango” in “Big Book of Mead Recipes” by Robert Ratliff. I did not 100% follow this recipe – due to the fact that he uses stabilizers to halt fermentation instead of allowing fermentation to fully run its course. Yeast will clean up after themselves, so it’s really…

Chocolate Orange Mead
Chocolate Orange is a bit more on the complex side, but totally worth it! This flew off my shelf and I found myself wishing I made a larger batch (definitely on my repeat recipe list). In fact, this recipe was the first time filming, but second time making – and this recipe transformed quite a…
