  • brewing mead at home without parents finding out?

    Beer, Wine & Spirits - 4 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I just had some mead today at a casual 4th of July Sumbel and it was uberly awesome. It was made with Champagne yeast (it was a bit on the extreme carbonated side though, the cap flew like 50 ft, hahaha.. but anyways). I want to make some mead of my own. I have a slight problem though.. I live with my dad and I don't want him to find out that I'm making it. He just wouldn’t approve, and I've kept up this perfect little girl image where I abhor anything alcoholic around him. Because of my slight predicament, I have a few questions: Are there any laws in Arizona about making mead? I know you can make like 100 gallons of beer or something, and you're not allowed to make hard liquor, but I have no idea where mead fits into that. (my dad is a cop, so if I do get caught I don't want to be in actual trouble) Are there any precautions I should consider? I was thinking of placing the container in my closet. Is it ok to do that? Should I do anything special to the closet, like lay down trash bags? If you can tell, I have never done this before. I had another friend complain that their house would smell for a bit after they made beer or something. Should I plan on having to air the house out afterwards? I have no idea if this would smell funny or not. I'd think not, seeing as its just honey and anything else I mix in. When I go to bottle it, what extra considerations should I keep in mind? I have a feeling this might make my house smell a bit like alcohol because it has been fermenting. Because of the smell I think I will have to wait for my dad to go on a trip or work a long day. Will the ready-to-bottle mead be ok if I have to let it sit for a few weeks longer than usual for my dad to go away long enough? I can probably find this information somewhere else, but you guys might know too. I make lightweights look like people who can hold their liquor.. heh.. so what suggestions do you have to reduce the alcohol content? Thanks!! twoasonesfl -- wow.. didn't you look at my profile when you added me? I know you added me a year or two ago, but time has elapsed since then. I'm not a little kid. I haven't been one for a long time... I am old enough to drink and I have a stable job working at a hospital. I am currently training to work in a different department so I can make a little more money. I am still living at home because dad is letting me while I work on my 4th college degree. Putting up with my dad's rules is a lot cheeper than paying rent, and I am saving up my money for a down payment on a house.
