Calendrier gaulois de Coligny / Gaulish Coligny calendar / Infos |
Un ami versé dans les reconstitutions historiques m'a demandé de fabriquer de l'hydromel sans levures dans un but expérimental.
Voici le matériel qu'il m'a donné :
- Une bonbonne de 2 litres
- Un thermomètre
- Un entonnoir
- Un barboteur
- Une canne de soutirage coudée
- Une casserole
- Une bassine
- Un calendrier
Fabriquer de l'hydromel sans levure |
J'ai choisi comme ingrédients :
- 2 litres d'eau de moyenne montagne fraîchement puisée dans un lieu consacré
- 500 g de miel de montagne
Les dosages sont bruts, sans calculs, néanmoins proche de ce que l'on trouve comme proportion sur les sites professionnels.
Petit luxe : thermomètre et canne de soutirage coudée |
Pour le stockage dans un endroit sombre et frais, j'ai choisi une cantine militaire en métal que j'ai placé latéralement près d'une fenêtre et contre un mur. La cantine offre en plus la possibilité d'être fermée par cadenas.

Making mead (ὑδρόμελι) without yeast (experiment)
A friend versed in pageants asked me asked me to make mead without yeasts for an experimental purpose.
Here is the material he gave me:
- A 2-liter carboy
- A thermometer
- A funnel
- A bubbler
- An angled racking rod
- Casserole dish
- A bassin
- A calendar

I have chosen as ingredients:
- 2 liters of medium mountain water freshly drawn from a consecrated place
- 500 g of mountain honey
The dosages are crude, without calculations, nevertheless close to what we find as a proportion on professional sites.

For storage in a dark and cool place, I chose a metal military canteen that I placed sideways near a window and against a wall. The canteen also offers the possibility of being closed with a padlock.

Preparation dates:
For the preparation of this yeast-free mead, I based myself on recent research in ethnology concerning the Gallic calendar of Coligny. I made some calculation changes. I chose the date of December 18, 2021 (night) - which corresponds to CVTIOS second ATENOUX XIII according to my calculations based on the date of 5 / O6 / 2O2O (full moon) as the date of the start of the calendar - in order to prepare this mead without yeast. Thus it will be fermented for the full moon of December 19, 2021 - which corresponds to CVTIOS second ATENOUX XIV, still according to my calculations - that is to say two days before the winter solstice. (See diagram below)

Fermentation and tasting:
Regarding fermentation, I chose 87 days or 29 x 3 days.
Which will bring us for the tasting from March 16, 2022. EQVOS second ATENOUX XI.
Nevertheless, a tasting will take place for GIAMONI second ATENOUX XIIII, on January 18, 2022.

Preperation :
- I boil water and rinse the instruments and the bottle twice.
- I boil the mountain water and let it cool in the saucepan until it reaches 40 ° celcius. (Without thermometer, gauge with your finger)
- I fill the water bottle halfway and pour the mountain honey inside using the funnel.
- I mix in circular motions until the honey is diluted using the angled draw-off rod.
- I filled the water bottle completely.
- I close the carboy with the bubbler and let it ferment in the military metal canteen.
