I turned a Bucket Of Honey Into Mead & Distilled It

Get an awesome shirt from Into The AM here: https://intotheam.com/CTC I have always wanted to make mead and distil it. Today I FINALLY got to give it a try. But will the taste and smell of honey make it through into the finally spirit? Recipe: 15 gallons / 56 l of water 39 lb / 17.7 kg 2.1 oz / 60 g Fermaid K (I had to use O ) 4 packets of Lalvin 71B Narbonne yeast Dissolve the Honey in the yeast, make sure to mix it vigorously to get as much oxygen into it as possible (right before pitching the yeast). Let it ferment until dry (close to 1.00 on a hydrometer). Distill, your option of full stripping run and spirit run (double pot stilled). I did a "one and a half run" with 1 plate. Make solid cuts. If you want to follow along with me age at 54% abv / 108 proof with second use US white oak. ---------------------------------------------------------------- New CTC Rocks Glasses https://chasethecraft.com/shop Try Adventures In Home Brewing For Your Next Supplies Purchase (Free Shipping In The Lower 48 over $50): https://www.homebrewing.org/CTC Chase The Craft Calculators: https://chasethecraft.com/mash-fermentation ---------------------------------------------------------------- Chase The Craft Shop (including new coins): www.chasethecraft.com/shop ---------------------------------------------------------------- Still Its Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/stillit ---------------------------------------------------------------- Listen To The Chase The Craft Podcast On The Website: https://chasethecraft.com/podcast Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/chase-the-craft/id1489147767 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/39ItzOaQaDx5lfc9Kk0oyc Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/chase-the-craft ----------------------------------------------------- Sign Up To The Still It Mailing List Here: http://www.chasethecraft.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- Still It Tee Shirts: https://teespring.com/stores/stillit Some Cool Distilling Stuff On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer20170928731 Subscribe To The Channel Here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ChaseTheCraft ---------------------------------------------------------------- #still #distilling #BubblePlate Just in case you didn’t realize I often include affiliate links in my videos and descriptions.
