Avocado Mead - Additions, Flavor Adjustments, Back Sweetening and a Pasteurizing Test!
Avocado Mead - Additions, Flavor Adjustments, Back Sweetening and Pasteurizing Test! Yes, this is a long video. Yes, there's a lot to cover, and yes, I could have made 2 parts. But no, we didn't and no, I'm not sorry! (Use the history function in YT and you can watch it as you find time) There's so much to cover! We make adjustments to this brew, we test gravity and explain why, we do flavor adjustments, then, we backsweeten. Not only do we backsweeten, we pasteurize, but not ONLY do we pasteurize it, we test the open bottle vs closed bottle fermentation technique! So stick around, there's a lot of information packed into these 53 minutes!
Additions:
2 small Whole Clove
2 cracked Cardamom pods
20 Allspice Berries
Back sweeten:
Wildflower? Honey to sweetness of your preference (thanks Derek Skinner!)
