Inspired by Stef of Making Pour Decisions, Kyle of NEK Meads (https://www.instagram.com/nekmeads) reached out to talk more about everyone's favorite honey based beverage. I learned a lot in this conversation! Recipe 1 Cherry Mead (Cerise) 30 lbs of balaton/morello type cherries with pits 12 lb Mix of acacia and linden honey. lallzyme ex-v Opti red 15 grams RC212 Goferm and fermaid o tosna nutrition meadmaderight.com Freeze the cherries, then thaw them in an 8 gallon bucket. Add honey, lallzyme ex-v, and opti red, stir and add enough water to fill up the bucket and to get to a 1.090-1.095 OG. Everyday, you will need to punch the fruit cap down. 1-2 times a day for a week. Follow tosna for nutrient additions. Let mead sit on the cherries for 30-45 days. Rack off, stabilize, then backsweeten to 1.045-1.055 with lighter colored honey. Adjust acid and tannin as needed. The key to this recipe is the cherry type itself. Recipe 2 Quick and easy kveik session mead! 6 lbs of orange blossom honey (light and floral honey works) Gypsum and spring water heated to 90 degrees Rehydrated and front load nutrients (fermaid o for kveik voss) 1 oz medium toast American oak in primary Pitch the rehydrated voss in the mixed up and warm must.

Alex from Carolina joins Andrew in the Brew Pub where we talk teenage brewing disasters, and kettle souring! Mixed Berry Kettle Sour 5.5 gallon: 6.25 lbs pale malt 2 lbs Flaked Oats 2lbs white wheat 1.25 lbs Lactose sugar (added during the boil) .5oz Nugget (or similar) at 60 min 2 oz Galaxy at flameout Whirlfloc tablet at 15 min 1pkg of Lactobacillus (Wyeast #5335) or similar 1 pkg of US-05 Heat 7.5 gallons of water to 154 and mash in. 75 minute mash. Mash out at 168. Once mash is finished cool wort to 100 and pitch the Lacto. Keep the wort between 90-100 degrees F for a day or so regularly checking PH. 3.5 is going to be somewhat sour and 3.1 is going to be about as low as you want to go. Once you hit the PH that you want, start the boil process as normal. After the beer ferments out, add in your fruit ~1lb / gallon brewed. I used costco frozen mixed but you can use whatever you'd like. I recommend freezing whatever fruit you use before hand to kill any unwanted bugs and breakdown the cell walls of the fruit.   Carolina Pale Ale 5.5 Gallon Water Profile: Ca 142ppm | Mg 21ppm | Na 29ppm | Sulfate 299ppm | Chloride 54 ppm | bicarbonate 109 11 lbs Riverbend Malt House Southern Select (2 row) 8 oz carapils 8oz crystal 40 1 whirlflock (15 min) 1pkg Cali ale WLP001 .25 oz Nugget 60 min .25 oz CTZ 15 min .25 oz mosaic 15 min .75 oz Azacca whirlpool (15 min) .75 oz CTZ whirlpool (15 min) .75oz Mosiac whirlpool (15 min) 1.5oz Azacca Dry hop 4 days 1.5 oz CTZ Dry hop 4 days 1.5 oz Mosiac Dry hop 4 days Mash at 152 for 75 minutes with a 10 minute mashout at 168. 60 min boil.
