Squid Game | Can These 8 Mead Makers Survive? |
Channel: Man Made Mead
Date: 17/03/2022

Welcome to "Squid Game: Mead Making Edition". 4 months ago I gave 8 mead makers a challenge to make a mead recipe with an extra challenge on it. Each player had to complete their challenge in order to possibly win the $100 at the end of this game. The mead makers made their meads with their challenges and then sent them to me for a final tasting. Today, you get to see the results of this fun challenge! 

The challenges they have to face are:

1.)    The player must oak their mead (Player 6)
2.)   The player must use 6 Pounds of Fruit Per Gallon (Player 7)
3.)    The final gravity of the players mead must be 1.035 (Player 4)
4.) The player must use no water in their mead. (Player 3)
5.)   The player must use the Philly Sour Yeast. (Player 1)
6.)   The mead cannot be back sweetened. (Player 5)
7.)  The player cannot adjust acid balance with any adjuncts (acid blends, etc.) (Player 2)
8.)   The players mead has to be carbonated (Player 8)

The base recipe the contestants will have to use is:

3 Pounds of Blueberries
1 Cinnamon Stick
3 Pounds of Wildflower Honey
Water Up to 1 Gallon
Lalvin D47 Yeast
And their choice of yeast nutrient
