Not all meads are alike. At Rebel hive, we start with raw unfiltered honeys from around the world. Each varietal honey is carefully selected for its own unique characteristics and taste. Water, that has been purified through a reverse osmosis system, is then mixed with the honey. For most of our 12% meads, a ratio of three pounds of honey to one gallon of water is used. Any adjustments to mineral content and oxygen levels are made before pitching the yeast. A yeast strand is chosen that will compliment the honey as well as any flavors being added.
During fermentation, temperature, nutrients, oxygen, and pH are all monitored and adjusted as needed. After fermentation is complete, fruits and/or spices can be added, and the mead is filtered. Finally, the mead is balanced by adjusting sugar, acid, and tannins to the perfect taste profile. The finished product is then stabilized with sulfites and bottled.
Say goodbye to the syrupy, overly sweet, unbalanced meads of the past.
Enjoy balanced, easy drinking, unique meads from Rebel Hive!
