So I took the reduced liquid (the sediment, ginger, etc all thrown out) and put it into the coke bottle with the balloon to stop it bursting.Īll in all the stuff had only been in the coconut 5 days and in the coke bottle, bubbling away, for another five. 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.
