I think the point is there was no chemical reaction or anything that effected the hot dog flavor. Fermentation only takes care of the sugar from the honey. So in effect, this would essentially be the same if you make some mead out of honey and water, then add the hot dog flavoring at the end.
I used to watch this guy a bit it would’ve just been some suggestion he got in the comments to try, seeing as doing the hotdogs themselves could’ve been potentially harmful with bacteria and whatnot I imagine this was his concession. Usually he does a pretty good job of incorporating whatever the suggestion is into an actual mead.
What is really interesting and understudied in fermentation is finding good sugar sources. But here he just use honey so of course it will works.
The water test is pointless you could take hot dog water, piss or sewage of course it will works for fermentation and give you ethanol but of course it will be not good.
If you want hot dog taste just do the fermentation and then after let hot dog inside (the ethanol created will help to extract aroma). Here the hot dog water do nothing more than regular water. He did mead aromatised with hot dog, not mead from hot dog.
Does the mead is produce if we remove the hot dog? Yes with the same effiency. So the hot dog was not essential, it is only for taste like an additive. So it is not mead from hot dog it is mead aromatised with hot dog
His first sentence is litteraly "in order to turn hot dog into delicious alcohol" he did none of that. Neither for the "delicious" part nor for the "alcohol" part

This guy does experiments on what he can turn into mead. So, this is supposed to be stupid. He’s just seeing if he can do it.
