You can’t eat honey that tastes like alcohol. Old beekeepers will teach you a trick to make spoiled honey taste good
Don’t be afraid of spoiled honey. Old beekeepers will show you how to turn waste into treasure and turn it into a delicious treat right away!
Directions: Due to the varying quality of honey produced by beekeepers, some honey can easily go bad, especially immature water honey. The most noticeable smell of spoiled honey is alcohol. Some of you will buy honey when you buy honey. I would not dare to eat honey that has gone bad if I wanted to. Even if I feed it to the bees, I am worried that the bees will have diarrhea. It’s a shame that I want to throw it away. What should I do? Today, Bee Tribe is sharing with our friends a way to turn rotten honey into delicious food.
1. Can I eat spoiled honey?
First of all, we need to find out whether the honey is edible or not. The Bee Tribe believes that if it has deteriorated slightly, it is okay to eat it. If it is seriously deteriorated, it is still not recommended to eat it or even to feed it to the bees. Generally speaking, people are still encouraged to eat fresh honey. Whether the honey is slightly or severely spoiled, it is not recommended.
2. What should I do if my honey has gone bad?
Many of you are asking this question. The truth is, there are only three ways to live with honey. One is to eat, two is to eat, and three is to discard. If you have an industrial use, it is best to discard it. In fact, apart from these methods, there are other ways to deal with it, namely fermentation. Many of us have encountered a phenomenon where we have cooked too much rice at home and it starts to spoil, so it is a pity to pour it out. This is why many of us use it to make mead, which is a good method. For honey, it can also be used to make mead. By doing this, the waste can not only be turned into wealth, but it can also be considered a delicious food.
3. Why can honey be used to make mead?
Firstly, the principle of making mead from honey
Secondly, what kind of honey can be made into wine?
In fact, there are many types of mead made from honey. Generally speaking, white wine and yellow wine can be made from honey. Generally speaking, mead is made by mixing it with other grains in the same way as grains. It is made with a high alcohol content and a strong white wine flavor. For white wine made with honey, due to the white wine technique used, the white wine made is very strong and may not be popular, so our family can choose to make sweet wine and mead that tastes very good.
4. How to make mead from honey
First: What kind of honey is suitable for making mead?
Generally speaking, when we choose to make honey, it should be pure. Honey should not contain dead bees, harmful substances or pure honey that does not deteriorate, especially if it contains drug residues, which can be seriously affected during the fermentation process. Usually, we can make mead this way, but the bee tribe tries to make honey with spoiled honey. It tastes good too. After all, it is used at home. If you really want to make it, it is recommended to choose honey that is not spoiled. Honey should be mainly dark honey. For example, buckwheat honey and eucalyptus honey are good ingredients for making mead.
Second: Selection of Auxiliary Materials
Making a liqueur type mead is relatively simple and requires few auxiliary ingredients, mainly yeast. Bee Tribe’s yeast is purchased online and the quality varies greatly, so you need to take a chance.
Third: Brewing Process
The honey to water dilution ratio is 1 to 2 to 1 to 2.5. It is worth noting that Bee Tribe has made honey in two places. The taste is very different. One type of mead was made from well water used in the countryside, and the other type was made from tap water used in the city. I don’t know what tap water is. I think there is something wrong with the fermentation and the mead tastes strange. Therefore, I suggest you do not use tap water or mineral water. Well water is the best.
Put it in a tile jar. If you have beeswax, you can add some beeswax. If you don’t have beeswax, you can add rice. The bee tribe has already made it with rice, but it still works. If you are worried that the rice process will affect the purity of the mead, you can use beeswax, just a little. The bee tribe has not given much attention to this, but they can still make it.
3. Add the yeast and make a powder. Follow the instructions for buying yeast.
4. Ferment the bees. After completing these steps, place the pot next to the stove. If it is hot, you can also put it in a warm place. All in all, the temperature should be between 25°C and 26°C. After 5 days, you can smell the wine inside. At this point, the temperature should be lowered to about 20°C for 5 days, and then raised to between 20°C and 25°C for another 5 days. 5. Filter to obtain mead. At this point, the mead has been roughly brewed. At this point, it will be kept at 20°C for 5 days and then filtered out. The mead we need has even been obtained.
