Burnt Mead

[EltonJ]

Anyone want to see a video about making burnt mead?

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

Where's the video?

[Gauwyn of Bracknell]

Maybe it also got burnt? 

[Merlin the Elder]

It fell in the mead, Gauwyn.

Are you "Hippies" tryin' to SMOKE it?!  Like yer pots?

[Gauwyn of Bracknell]

I only got stoned once ( it lasted 46 years though  )

Here's the video, everyone

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!

[EltonJ]

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.
