    I make a lot of tea blend meads. I have a black current that is amazing and just bottled a chocolate mint today. There are so many good tea blends and they turn out wonderful.

    I’ve used Thai tea before for both tannin and color, it turns the mead a very vibrant bright orange!

      Thai tea is black tea with vanilla flavor and yellow dye- very good and iconic look

    I used tea for mead twice, once for Hibiscus and another for mixed berry zinger. So far it's Good 😊

    I made a Moroccan tea mead, with whatever blend of plants they sold me in a market in Marrakech. Some rosehip, some mint and other things. It’s been 8 months or so since I made it and it’s only now starting to mellow out a bit, but still tastes unmistakably like the tea that went into it. Wouldn’t make it again, but with the range of teas out there the possibilities are enormous!

    I've been making tea meads for a bit now. My favorite is chamomile :)

    A Rooibos/Clover mead would be great. Rooibos is a sweeter tea I grew up drinking with a teaspoon of honey in it. May have to get this recipe on the go! :)

    If you want a stronger tea flavour, loose leaf black tea at near boiling is the way to go.

    I would love to see a video on you mixing your 2 favorite yeast together in one batch to see if it makes a better tasting mead. I can't find any videos on the subject of mixing 2 yeast together. Love the videos you make and hope to see more.

    Most importantly. Where did you got that horn? I need it

    I've been meaning to try a tea mead. I hear of people getting surprising fruity flavors sometimes. You mentioned the yeast being excited when you add fermaid. Do you think they react so quickly? I always assumed it was the fermaid providing nucleation sites to the CO2 in solution, like mentos in diet coke.

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  Před 2 měsíci

      Generally the brew just puts out CO2 from solution like coke and mentos when you do that. I don't necessarily think the yeast get super excited haha

    Earl grey òr lady grey tea might be good

  • @Damiancontursi
    @Damiancontursi Před 3 měsíci +3

    I wonder if I could just make a base batch of mead and then bottle with a teabag and some controls too turn down the flavor if leaving it there too much time is overpowering. I mean, would it make a difference in doing it like that or before fermentation?

    • @Damiancontursi
      @Damiancontursi Před 3 měsíci +1

      Another thing I wonder is if when back-sweetening, does it really make a difference if I use cheap honey for fermentation and some better quality when back-sweetening? I believe if you are not an expert you wouldn't really taste a difference, less so if you add some flavor like the teas in the video or some fruit, or tanning or co2.

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I think leaving a tea bag in a container would be too much exposure to a flavor. Backsweetening honey is probably the most tasted honey! I’d use a higher quality kind if you can

    I did a sweet tea acycerglen, which I liked

  • @philired
    @philired Před 2 měsíci

    This looks great. By reducing the OG could this be keg and carbonated. As I am in Australia I can not get red star yeast. What would be a good substitute.

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  Před 2 měsíci

      Any lalvin yeast or even an ale yeast could work here!

  • @gregr5
    @gregr5 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Was the tea you used cafenated? Does the cafein survive fermentation?

    • @ethanhohensee7127
      @ethanhohensee7127 Před 3 měsíci

      The tea he used was an herbal tea that contains no actual tea leaves. There was no caffeine.

    • @ManMadeMead
      @ManMadeMead  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I don’t think so… I don’t know the answer to that!

    Can you please convert the pound to kilograms and Grams.

  • @wfqsfg
    @wfqsfg Před 3 měsíci

    Is that a black tea. Other sources say black tea has the tannins.

    Sorry to use this space but who could I talk to to get back in the discord server? I got a virus some time ago and got kicked out (fair enough) but now I can't reapply to enter.

      I found it useful to take in the chronological order of the recipe
