#Beersmith coconut how to#

Just a few hours later, after reading more, I realised it would take months to make anything.

A couple of days after that I foolishly thought I might be done (total inexperience) and transferred the mix, less sediment, to small plastic bottles and shoved them in the fridge. After a couple of days I got inspired to add cloves, ginger, cracked pepper. I had to open the bottle a few times to allow some of the build up of gas to escape. There was quite a bit of sediment at the bottom. When the balloon (home made) 'airlock' deflated I took the juice out. I fermented the mix for about 5 days inside the coconuts. Then I injected the lot back into coconuts and put on air locks. I mixed three heaped tea spoons with the warmed mix of honey and coconut juice. To recap, I made a 'mead' by using coconut juice instead of water and adding about 100 ml of honey (so I think far less than normal). This is my first time brewing, so perhaps this is normal. I am starting a second thread on what I might brew with limited ingredients and facilities.

I have no idea if I have even created Mead, or how to proceed.

It is bubbling a little.īangladesh is hot, which is an aid to brewing. I am hoping the mix will become effervescent. I added cloves, pepper, and cinnamon sticks. I have now bottled the stuff in a coke bottle. But it tasted alcoholic when I tried some at the point of extraction from the coconuts. I don't know if I have created a monster. I After a week I stopped getting bubbles, and the balloon deflated. I then put the mix back into the coconuts and sealed with an airlock (I have two bubble airlocks and one improvised job with a nipple and balloon). I drilled some coconuts (the new green fresh type), extracted the juice, warmed the juice, mixed it with honey and then added some dry yeast. I found a recipe for 'groovy coconut mead' (you can google it). I am trying to make a coconut mead at the moment.
