/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Damn straight it did. Based on a very unscientific home test I did, paired with information from the recipe, I estimate it was somewhere between 12-15% alcohol content by weight. I got drunk on it a few times, so it's an economic choice. It just takes months to produce, so start a batch every couple weeks or something if you want a steady supply.

I learned about homebrew mead when I was on a motorcycle trip of the West Coast, couchsurfing with some university student bros in Santa Barbara. They had a batch they had made that got me thinking about it. We drank both full gallons one night with some other French couchsurfers that were there. When I got home, I just had to start my own.

I more than got my moneys worth in pure product, and especially entertainment. Besides being a hit at family thanksiving meal and a neat project, I liquored up a stupid cunt that I'd been crushing on for months but quickly fell out of love with when I got her to cheat on her boyfriend for $25 in groceries and half a bottle of homebrew mead ("oh my gosh ur so like smart and resourceful"). Called her boyfriend a couple days later and "sorry bro'd" him. He ended up explaining that she was actually dating a different guy who she cheated on with him when they met. He ragestalked her for like 3 months and she kept calling me trying to extract sympathy. Lolnope. Now she's dating some other guy. Poor fucker.

So basically, brew some fucking mead. It's imbued with the magic of Norse gods and good things will come of it. Pic related, my technologically advanced home mead brewery.
