Homebrew MEAD Part 1: tools, products and how they work

A COMPLETE, STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR “MEAD” MAKING (HYDROMEL, HONEY WINE) PART I. The Homebrew Series. MATERIALS/TOOLS: 2 fermenting buckets 30 litres with tap (or carboys, demijohns) 2 airlocks Plastic stirring paddle 40 cm Auto siphon with hose Bottle filler Bottle brush Hydrometer (3 scales) Measuring cylinder Corker machine Wine corks Wine Bottles PH measuring strips (scale 1 to 12) Spray bottle PRODUCTS/INGREDIENTS: for 26 liters Wort About 24 liters of Mead (potential alcohol degree15%) Always refer to the product notice Cleaning agent Sanitizer (no-rinse) 18 liters Source water 9.5 to 10 kilo of honey 26 gram medium toast oak chips 13 gram mead yeast (or white wine, champagne, lager yeast) 26 gram yeast nutrient 2.2 to 2.5 gram Camden (potassium metabisulfite) 52 gram of citric and tartaric acid mix THE HYDROMETER: how it works 3 scales: density, sugar content and potential alcohol degree. Range: Density: 0.990 - 1.170 S.G. Sugar content: 0 - 360 go/l sugar. Potential alcohol content: 0 - 20 % vol. The uses: • To measure the specific gravity (SG) of must and wort of wine, mead, beer. • To determine progress of fermentation. • To estimate potential alcohol percentage at time of yeast pitching. • To calculate percentage of alcohol (using "before" and "after" reading To measure potential alcohol of your mead or wine, two readings will be required. The first will be before fermentation commences, the second when fermentation stops. The second figure is to be subtracted from the first; the result is your alcohol percentage by volume. Example: 1st. Reading 14% 2nd. Reading -1% Alcohol Content 13% Write down your measurements and amount of ingredients in a little notebook; it’s the best way to progress. HONEY: Raw honey is honey (nectar from flowers) that is pure, unheated, unpasteurized and unprocessed. This is perhaps one of the most important characteristics and health benefits of the final product, as it preserves all the natural vitamins, enzymes, phytonutrients and other nutritional elements The vitamins present in honey are B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and certain amino acids. The minerals found in honey include calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc.
