Hi, me and some friends decided to try make some mead. We wanted to do it as cheaply as possible. We know that it will properly be horrible. Therefor we used normal 1,5 liter soda bottles (Coca Cola and Pepsi max), normal baking yeast and just regular honey. We did buy and use airlocks.
For the first bottle we used:
400 grams honney
13 grams of yeast
Cinnamon sticks (many, like 8 or something)
For the second bottle we used:
650 grams honney
13 grams of yeast
Some ginger
So my question is just: Is this totally safe to drink? We washed everything we used, and boiled the water, and dipped all tools in boiling water. It is properly not sterile... Will it be harmful or what is the worst outcome? Is the worst scenario a bit of diarrhea, throwing up or a hurting stomach?
What do you think?
Thank you everyone for the answers!
