The raising floating or not is not a sign of readyness. It's a common traditional misconception. The readiness depends on how well the yeast has worked and also about how one likes his/her sima.

Actually, a real mead is made with honey and not sugar, and it is also less sweet. The yeats used is usually wine yeast and not the bread yeat I used in Finland. Mead is much higher on alcohol per volume, sima is only 0.5% + perhaps a little more whereas mead can have alcohol up to over 10%. Also, the mead does not have lemons. The taste is more like a light-colored beer. If you do not have a funnel you can make one fast from another bottle that has a slightly smaller mouth. Just cut the top part with sharp scissors or utility knife. I have used these in an emergency to fill bottles.

I've been making beers and ciders for a while. It's amount of sugar in bottle not yeast. Sugar turns into alcohol not yeast. If you double the sugar you approx. double the alcohol level. When sugar is turning into alcohol it's releases co2 witch makes bubbles to a drink. I hope this clears up a bit.

You could replace at least half of the white table sugar with dextrose (brewing sugar) and use champagne yeast. The raisins rise because they trap CO2. Then they sink because fermantation stops and CO2 escapes into the liquid and outside the raisins. Then when you open the bottle they rise again because the pressure drop causes some of the CO2 to come out of the liquid.

That looks more difficult way than the way I do it 😳 For 4 L of sima I slice 2 medium size lemons and one large orange and add them after melting the sugar in warm water and adding the cold water. I use dry yeast as I find it easier to use.. just sprinkle it on top of the slices so there is thin layer on top.

Try the "Krigsmjöd"! That's amazing and fits well for Midsummer festivities for example. You've still got plenty of time to make it. It's quite strong though, but you can make it milder. That's closer to the real stuff the Vikings used to make and drink. More like a wine. Instead of white sugar you use honey! And then you add some Cranberry juice in it too. I've had cranberry juice like 1/30 or 2/30 parts of the total liquid. You first have to dissolve all the honey and brown sugar into water like you did here. Then you add the cranberry juice into the mix and then finally put in the yeast. The actual krigsmjöd has pretty much 1g of yeast per 1 liter of liquid, so be careful with it and ration it accordingly. 30g yeast in 30 liters of that mjöd makes it to be closer to 10% of alcohol, yieks! I've done it to 2,5kg honey, 2kg brown sugar, 1-2 liters of cranberry juice and water up to 30 litres of mjöd, around 4 sliced lemons (sometimes used couple lemons and couple oranges) plus that horrid 30g of yeast. Then it took around 1 month to brew, but less brewing and yeast makes it milder and less winelike. Try it :) It's really good when made right. And yes, if somebody wonders and finds this familiar it is exactly the Moonsorrow's Krigsmjöd recipe :D

If you want to make it stronger you have to consider the type of yeast. Ordinary baking yeast dies at about 10% (if I remember correctly from "Nya hembrännarboken" which I used when I distilled my first vodka). And before that it starts to "misbehave" (as it's close to death) and make bad-tasting stuff. You can easily buy other yeasts, e.g. online. Wine-yeasts can survive up to >15% (which you can prove by there being wines of 15%, without added alcohol).

Kerping it in the open container, yeast brews it to alcohol, when you bottle it, it stops (well slows down considerably) and it starts to make carbonacids in there (the bubbles), amount of sugar affects the alcohol content.

But why translate it? Sima have few, if any, similarities with historical mead. In it's widest definition mead includes a varied kinds of beverages, from traditional mead to Metheglin and Melomel. Common for them all though is that they are a fermented beverage based on honey. Sima is based on brown sugar and is way more similar to the Dricku from the isle of Gotland. You mention the "vikings", well the norse would have had a very hard time, if not impossible, to come by most of the ingredients of Sima. Sorry for the long post, not trying to be a patronizing a-hole, but the misconceptions regarding mead are many and I find it unfortunate that Sima and Mead, two very different but great beverages in their own right, gets mixed up.

I think the Finnish sima is mead; some of the ingredients just have changed because the society has changed. It originates from "original mead", normal alcohol beverage here from at least 1500-century. Was common alcohol drink in Europe, especially in Nordic countries, for a long time. .Originally the the sima/mead was made from honey but honey in Finland got expensive, while sugar got cheap. It seems that lemon or acidic fruist&berries are added originally because then the mead can become stronger. The yeast likest them; but today they are more like flavor because people do not make normally strong mead in Finland anymore. Old Finnish-Ugric tribes have long traditions in honey making and the sugar you could get before industrial times was mainly honey. The fist sugar beet was grown in Finland 1918. First mentions of sima are from 1400-century so sima is not based on brown sugar, even in today's respect people use sugar instead of honey and it is based around the idea of mead, what is basically honey/sugar wine. I think that the old Finnish drink kilju is basically plain mead, at some point, the sugar has been just added from a cheaper source. Even I do not think that the original mead/sima had lemons, Vikings could have got the lemons quite easily;, they travelled a lot and sold example Finns to near east slave markets ;) Sorry not trying to be a patronizing a-hole, but history is more important to the history of "sima/mead" than some "original receipt" what does not really exist. Sima and mead are the same beverage originally -> they come from the same historical source, the recipes have just changed during the time. Finnish mead seems to be pretty similar with sima. Cat, heh make some kilju with Dave. it is legal nowadays., Would like to see hes reaction to that taste XD

Like wiki says about Finnish sima; "Regional variants In Finland, a sweet mead called sima (cognate with the root of zymurgy[citation needed]) is still an essential seasonal fermented product connected with the Finnish Vappu (May Day) festival. It is usually spiced by adding both the pulp and rind of a lemon. During secondary fermentation, raisins are added to control the amount of sugars and to act as an indicator of readiness for consumption; they will rise to the top of the bottle when the drink is ready. However, the sugar used in modern practice is typically brown sugar, not honey.[39]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead

Never have i in my life drank it with honey i think. Besides, there are both sima versions that are alchoholic and those ones pretty much without. Alcoholic and non alcoholic versions exists as well in grocery stores. Bunch of different brands. Some more homemade-ish authentic tasting versions, others that can be pretty much fake and are made more like a lemonade that is bad.
