  • Introduction to Mead
    Introduction to Mead Nelson Crowle Dunedin Brewers Guild 12 August 2011 (V0002a) (updated from V0001 - 14 July 2010) [email protected] www.BuildABeer.org What is Mead? Mead is simply a fermentation of honey diluted in water, and is often called honey wine (although wine is actually a fermented fruit beverage). There are many varieties of mead – different sweetness levels, different alcohol strengths, and different added ingredients (fruits, spices, beer, etc.) Making mead can be as simple as the 7-minute dump-and-stir or as complex as an all-grain braggot made with beer. History of Mead Mead is one of the oldest fermented alcoholic beverages in the world, with a history dating back at least 9000 years. It is part of many legends, stories, and poems. It was made independently by many cultures and was involved in religious, spiritual, and social experiences. It predates the need for cultivating or farming barley or wheat or grapes – and was an easy beverage for nomadic tribes to make. According to legend, mead was a special gift to the new couple – a moon (a month’s worth) of honey mead to guarantee fertility (hence “honeymoon”). Mead has been thought to be an aphrodisiac and the “nectar of the gods.” Beekeepers were highly regarded for their production of honey, as well as beeswax. Honey was collected as an important food and sugar source by ancient civilizations. Early popular theory is that early tribes found mead when rain had mixed with honey and spontaneously fermented. However, other theories are more credible in which the honey started to ferment in the collection containers, which were made from animal skins, stomachs, intestines, etc.

Despite its very long tradition, little information is available on the relation between the ingredient used during fermentation and the aromatic characteristics of the fermented beverage outcome. In order to provide further information, multi-floral blossom honey and a forest honeydew honey with and without the addition of black currant during fermentation were used to prepare four different honey wines to be compared for their volatile organic compound content. Fermentation was monitored, and the total phenolic content (Folin–Ciocalteu), volatile organic compounds (HS-SPME-GC-MS), together with a sensory evaluation on the overall quality (44 nontrained panelists) were measured for all products at the end of fermentation.

  • Let's Talk About Mead and Cider…
    Let’s talk about mead and cider… Balance – this is something every brewer is familiar with. Two or more aspects of the beer, in harmony. They don’t have to necessarily be equal, but must complement each other – that IPA has way more hops than malt, but without ANY malt, it wouldn’t be balanced. So each style and each individual creation has their own balanced points. There’s more than two aspects to balance in mead, and there isn’t only one right answer. The legs of the chair you’re on can be balanced at a shorter or longer length, and a slight imbalance will barely be noticeable. Balance in mead and cider Sweetness – generally a function of FG, with higher FG being sweeter, however some honeys (meadowfoam/tupelo) will remain sweet at a fairly low FG. Can be from residual sugar or back-sweetening Acidity – low pH, sometimes tartness or sourness. Balances well with sweetness, though too much of each and you’ve got a Sweet-Tart – Good in candy, not a great combination in most meads. Not enough acid, and you’ve got a “flabby” uninteresting, structureless beverage like the blackberry mead I served last time. Alcohol – this tends to balance sweetness and increases bitterness. Body gets bigger with more alcohol but IMO the perceived body gets lower. Tannin – these can be hard (bitter) or soft (astringent) and are perhaps most easily noticed in wine or over- brewed tea. They have a drying aftertaste, and increase perception of dryness in mead/cider, and increase body. Other than grapes, some apples have a lot of tannins, but honey has little.
