Went back and watched the Strawberry brew video and had some thoughts: * Big Mouth Bubbler: I've got 5 and have found that the lids are (apparently) unique to each vessel. Mix lids and vessels and you don't always get a secure seal when screwing down the lids so I match each lid to the vessel it 'likes'. * Carlo Rossi makes 4L jug fermenters. I buy mine at the local grocery, usually filled with Carlo Rossi's Sangria 🙂 I run 4L batches in the Big Mouth Bubblers and rack to the 4L fermenters which appear to be easier to rack from than the 3L Carlo Rossi fermenters I've seen in some of your videos * As long as something is 'fermenting' and creating C02, I'm not too worried about head-space. I recently added dried peaches to a mead for conditioning and had to put 1/4G of must into a 1/2G fermenter to 'save' it for re-introduction after conditioning of 4L is complete. The 1/2G fermenter continues to 'bubble' slowly (SG was 1.002 when racked... but it WAS gassy and apparently still going!) Never had a problem with this... but I would NOT age with this sort of head-space! LOVE your videos, keep them coming!!

I highly recommend steeping the water at the beginning with hibiscus! The red pigment in hibiscus is different from the one in strawberry and doesn’t fade as much, gives it a beautiful rosy red color and a little more acidity.

Somebody probably already threw this out in the comments already, but maybe try the same recipe with a little carbonation if you want to try getting a bit more acidity in the flavor. Like a champagne-esque strawberry wine.Just a thought, and thanks for the recipe, Spaceballs reference, and taste review!

@AndrewNuttall 2 ай бұрын

Just went back and re-watched this one since it came out so good, and have come up with a question/suggestion/complication. (sorry!) Maybe just in a blog format, or something quick and easy, it would be nice to see when you think each brew hits it's stride. What I mean is a wine is 'young' when it gets bottled and needs some time to meld/mellow, but not necessarily a year. As a fairly new wine/cider brewer (coming from beer) I am curious how long I should wait for different brews before they're past the young part of their lives.

Usually a year is sufficient. There's no way to truly know until you do it though.

I just finished my strawberry mead (started it in January), finished at 16% and back sweetened to about 1.100 (wife REALLY likes it sweet…). It came out really delicious, coincidentally it was also the first brew I pasteurized with my new immersion circulator! That worked splendidly as well! I now know what you mean by that adds some type of feeling of age to a brew.

@CitySteadingBrews 2 ай бұрын

1.100? Are you sure? That is a LOT of sweetening. That is adding 3 pounds of honey for a gallon after fermentation.

@jayvandenburgh855 Ай бұрын

I can see wanting to carbonate your wine. To help expand my palate and get more bottles, I just bought some strawberry wine last week. I used to HATE strawberries but now I love them, but it was missing something. and think carbonation would be it! I just watched your video when you made this wine, what's your thoughts on making a simple syrup with white sugar and water and using that to bump the OG up? That would avoid the issue of making sure the sugar is fully dissolved.

@CitySteadingBrews Ай бұрын

Sure, it will dilute the wine a bit but you can do that. Raising the og changes the taste though so....

@LordNaggerz Ай бұрын

What is your recommendation for a glass fermenter? I bought a pack of two off amazon and made a gallon of mead. Recently (and when I say recently I mean like 5 minutes ago) I had the fermenter break on me and covered myself and my entire kitchen in mash (go ahead and laugh, kinda hoping you guys make a video on this) and then found out that the glass was so thin that i at first mistook it for plastic (seriously i was able to chip off pieces with my fingers). I like the wide mouth fermenters but I am afraid that if i get another one then it will be just as thin and this will happen all over again. I write this while still covered in delicious rasberry honey water.

I have a question not related to this video. I'm making a 5 gallon mead. I messed up and put what I thought was Yeast Nutrient. It turns out it was potassium sorbate. Is my batch ruined, or can I add more yeast?

@CitySteadingBrews 2 ай бұрын

Well... I don't use it, but, that is a chemical stabilizer, meant to stop fermentation from happening. Adding yeast won't work. The only thing I know of is perhaps boiling the must. It works for some juices that have sorbate in them, but, depends how much you added. It's worth a try before dumping it out anyway.

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try.

This is timely. I'm a week and a half into fermenting a strawberry banana mead. I was close. Banana takes over, so I'm using 1 part bananas to 5 parts strawberries.

I can see2 ways of possibly using it. Dilute the syrup so it’s not too much sugar and brew that., or added in conditioning to change/add flavor

Do you know the technique where you add berries, or fruit or citrus pills, and sugar ( I think 1 to 1 by weight or maybe 2 parts sugar) I wonder what that would make. Basically a natural flavored sugar wash.

2 weeks after starting my very first brew I wanted to take a gravity reading.. As soon i opened the lid and got the first whiff I thought: "Vinegar". Took the gravity reading and tasted a small amount. Yep. Vinegar. I guess I need to start a new brew now. 😅 I did everything by the book. After all I have had the best two teachers. Keep up the good work!😁

@CitySteadingBrews Ай бұрын

I doubt it was vinegar. It takes longer than 2 weeks to make vinegar for one. The only way it can be vinegar is if it was a low gravity brew that was oxygenated as the alcohol was made. What recipe was it? BTW, a lot of people say vinegar for young brews, but.... often it's just very dry.

@lenco1337 Ай бұрын

@@CitySteadingBrews It definitely has the sour smell and taste of vinegar. Maybe more of a hint of sour. OG 1,083 the gravity i just took was 1,020 so 8% ish. It was supposed to be a coconut tea wine. I followed the earl grey recipe.

My theory - and this is just speculation - is that the campden tabs contributed to the color. When I made this, I pasteurized my berries and ended up with much more of a pink result. Don’t know if that’s because the campden tabs altered the color or maybe heating stabilized it.
