I was wondering, if anyone has ever used coconut water in your mead instead of regular spring/boiled water, and what results did you get?
I threw together a little one gallon batch a few days ago of pineapple coconut water mead just for the sake of trying it. I love coconut, and pineapple so I figured why not?
I used 1 32oz of Raw organic fresh pressed pineapple Juice
then 50oz of T.A.S. Coconut Water
about 24oz of Raw Oregon Honey
and a 1/2tsp of Local Bee Pollen for a yeast nutrient.
I just poured all that on old Wyeast dry mead yeast that was still in the carboy when I had made a Cyser a few months ago, to see if it would start back up, and sure enough it did. It started fermenting really strong about 12 hours after I had pitched it in the carboy and has been fermenting fairly strong for about 3 days now, and today has finally slowed down a bit.
