by A.C. Doyle
The astonishing temple complex of Angkor, built between 802 AD and 1200 AD, encompasses more than 155 square miles, and is almost overwhelming in its beauty and architectural harmony. Once, these temples stood at the center of a thriving metropolis
that housed 20,000 courtiers, administrators, soldiers, monks, and students. Writer A.C. Doyle follows in their footsteps, and offers this walk-through to prepare you for the spectacle that is Angkor Wat.

Sourcing Your HoneyNow that we’ve looked at honey characteristics, we can discuss how to get your hands on the highest-quality honey you can. Some of the best honey you can get will come from local beekeeping enthusiasts. If you have a friend or neighbor who keeps bees, tell them what you want to use it for and see if they’ll sell you some honey. If they do, make sure to bring some finished mead to share next time you go to buy some.
That said, a nearby hobbyist beekeeper can be hard to come by. The next best thing is finding a local apiary. These are mostly family-run or owned by farms. If you can find one within driving distance, you can go pick up fresh local honey and not pay for shipping or retail store markups. Another great thing about these is that they are usually large enough to sell in bulk quantities. You’ll at least be able to get five-gallon (60-pound) buckets of honey for just a few dollars a pound. This can save you a lot of money if you know you will be making many batches of mead.

Working With A Lacto StarterThe best way to sour a mead with just Lacto is to build a big starter of it, and pitch it into a mead must of a lower gravity. Remember, Lactobacillus can struggle in stressful environments, so making a must of just 1.035 or so to create lactic acid first and then increasing the gravity later by adding honey can help the process along. [1]
Monitor the pH until it reaches a little bit below your desired pH (.25 or so) as it will increase with the next step. Next, add honey to get the starting gravity you were originally targeting, and pitch a pH tolerant yeast strain such as EC-1118 or K1-V116.
This works because lacto converts sugar into lactic acid, so even if the bacteria dies out, it’s already produced a nice acidic environment for your final mead. Limiting the gravity also keeps the mead from being one-dimensional (too sour).
Building A Lacto Starter With L. plantarum TabletsLactobacillus plantarum is becoming increasingly popular for Berliner Weisses and other kettle soured beers. It’s easy to attain by purchasing the tablets from a vitamin shop. Now you can tell your significant other you’re brewing for a better intestinal balance.
With this method, I recommend making a mead closer to 1.050 - 1.060, as the starter will act as the gentle starting environment. Make a 500ml starter at 1.025 gravity (85°F). Add four tablets and let it stir 12-18 hours before pitching into your mead must. It’s pretty aggressive, so make sure to monitor your sugar and pH carefully.[2][3]
Adding Bacteria in SecondaryAnother way to add some bacteria or funkiness to your mead is to add your bugs into the secondary. Even a few gravity points will be enough to create some complexity, but you’ll want more residual sugar if you want more significant souring as well.
