Burning Hive

Burning Hive

This was my very first mead. It is a burner. The recipe I am sharing is not the original, as I stated it is a burner. I have revised it .

  • 3 lbs Sue Bee Hot Honey (Chili Infused)

  • 96 oz Spring Water

  • 1/2 Ghost Pepper Chopped

  • 1 Habanero Chopped

  • 1 bag black tea ( for tannins)

  • 1/2 packet Lalvin D47

  • 1/4 tsp Go Ferm

  • 1/2 tsp Fermaid O

Start tasting at day 5 days for spice, remove when desire price profile has been reached.

Back sweeten to desired taste,


Pasteurize ( I use the Anova method) for 22 minutes at 140 degrees Fahrenheit .


Spice wil integrate and mellow over time. Bulk age of desired
