Anyone want to see a video about making burnt mead?

Sorry for lurking, I've forgotten that I was supposed to participate here.  :)

So tempted to do that in a future batch.  Would definitely have to have an outdoor setup though because if a pot full of pure honey boiled over on the stove I might not live through the experience.  The other marrieds will understand.  Having a room for brewing stuff is one thing but wrecking the kitchen is a whole other world of bad idea.

Looks pretty neat!  He said the stuff smelled like roasted marshmallows, nice!

I never smelled it myself.  But it should be fine.  Here is another video with the recipe.

I don't think that is burnt mead- just regular mead.

You're right.  I realized it one second after I posted it.  So, that crazy mead video is the only burnt mead video on how to make it.
