Hello everyone,
I am trying to make a coconut mead at the moment. I found a recipe for 'groovy coconut mead' (you can google it). I drilled some coconuts (the new green fresh type), extracted the juice, warmed the juice, mixed it with honey and then added some dry yeast. I then put the mix back into the coconuts and sealed with an airlock (I have two bubble airlocks and one improvised job with a nipple and balloon). I After a week I stopped getting bubbles, and the balloon deflated.
I don't know if I have created a monster. But it tasted alcoholic when I tried some at the point of extraction from the coconuts.
I have now bottled the stuff in a coke bottle. There is a around a liter. I added cloves, pepper, and cinnamon sticks. I am hoping the mix will become effervescent. It is bubbling a little.
Bangladesh is hot, which is an aid to brewing.
I have no idea if I have even created Mead, or how to proceed. What do you think?
I am starting a second thread on what I might brew with limited ingredients and facilities.
