Comment on Gatormead š
Bonsoir@lemmy.ca āØ1ā© āØweekā© agoBought some gatorade powder you can see in the photo. The recommended serving is 4 tablespoons for 750 mL of gatorade. I used around half of that, which is 10 spoons for 4 L (orange) and 10 spoons for 3 L (blue). ChatGPT recommended a quarter, but I was afraid it wouldnāt taste anything. Iām also pretty confident he never tried it anyway, so who cares about the computerās opinion. Then itās a standard 1 kg of honey each and EC-1118 yeast with some nutrient for the road (I realize now that I might have put way too much of it, but I think theyāll manage).
Both were extremely sweet before the fermentation. I have doubts about the blue one, but high hopes for the orange one (this is no political statement btw). I actually have no idea how it will come out, but right now theyāre both bubbling nicely.

Iāll be curious how it turns out.
Iāve never made mead, so Iām intrigued.
Have you looked into āskeeter peeā recipe? Iāve got ~22L of that fermenting currently.

Never heard of it, but it sounds fun.
I like mead because you can turn pretty much any drink into alcohol with it and the only specialized ingredient you need is yeast and sometimes nutrients. Everything else can be found at the grocery store. Turned some sodas (mountain dew being a classic, but also root beer), and fruit juices into mead, with mostly good results. Whereas ciders and wine requires the right kind of fruits, and Iām sure Iāll never do better than what is already on the market. The future is in weird drinks.
But lemonade wine seems nice, maybe Iāll try it next.
