I had a banana wine finish at 18% a.b.v. it was a step feed and I used brown sugar as an adjunct fermentation sugar. I started with ec 1118 and added turbo yeast after the first rack along with my third addition of brown sugar. I'm going to run the 5 gal fermenter of wine through a Brita filter today to clean it up further and let it sit on half of a vanilla bean pod and 1/2 lb of coconut flakes that I will toast in a skillet.

Candy is the sweetest treat that brings joy to everyone. Whether chocolate candy, gummy candy, or hard candy, there's a type of candy for every taste. Candy comes in various shapes, sizes, and flavors, making candy a versatile delight. From childhood, the love for candy never fades. Halloween is when candy is abundant, with children going door-to-door for candy. Candy canes at Christmas and candy hearts on Valentine's Day are festive staples. Some people prefer sour candy, while others enjoy sweet candy. Candy is often given as a gift, and candy stores are magical places filled with endless candy options. Making homemade candy can be a fun activity. Candy is not just for kids; adults indulge in candy too. Candy can brighten a bad day and is a perfect party favor. Whether it's old-fashioned candy or modern innovations, the love for candy is universal. Candy, in all its forms, is a beloved treat that never fails to bring a smile.

I had bought the cheese cake extract after watching this video to add to my four gallon batch of carrot cake mead which I had just recently racked, back sweetened with pineapple juice, crystallized ginger and added three cinnamon sticks, ten cloves, allspice, star anise. So basically you add half of a 2oz bottle of this extract to a one gallon batch. I will probably end up add the whole2oz bottle when I rack and bottle my batch of carrot cake mead. Unless I taste it and feel it needs more back sweetening/ more time to clear. If it comes out tasting really good then next year I will make a 2-3 gallon batch of Humming bird cake mead.

One technique that we have had success with for simulating, creamy pies, etc. Is to use a combination of vanilla, lactose and vanilla wafers. The wafers, or even graham crackers, tend to sink to the bottom so they aren't exposed to air and prone to molding as you had Indicated was a concern

Another fantastic video and along the lines of something I have been thinking about for a while. One possible tip regarding the extracts / flavours however. I make my own eliquid for vaping using these types of flavourings. One thing to test or remember at least is bakery / combined flavours can take anything up to a month or so to start to settle down and really come into their own. A lot of people that make their own e-liquids and make things like custard and other complex desert type flavours will leave the e-liquid once mixed for a month or so for the flavour to come out properly. A flavour that you cannot really taste now in a few weeks may become to dominant flavour.

I like the new scoring system, but I would think a 10 point scale would allow comparison between the old scores and the new scores, espescially when you have a 1 year tasting on the old scoring system. Plus with this sytstem, there will be no more 11s... I'll miss those. On a different note, this is a FANTASTIC video. I can't wait to try this

@stonerainproductions 22 күн бұрын

That's it, I'm getting these extracts! This sounds really amazing. On an aside, I think this video is a good example of why I like the old system. An 11 on the old scale and you knew it was extremely good and a 20 sounds good, but it doesn't break the 1-10 rule in my opinion. If you called it a 21 I think it might come off as more spectacular. Not sure if I'm wording it right, I guess to summarize, an 11 just came across as a rule breaker for a reason, we don't have above a 20 atm. I love you"re content and I don't want to come off as critical. I hope you both have a great day and thanks for this gem!

Half my family is puerto rican and I grew up and still make flan de queso which is just adding a brick of philly cream cheese to the flan batter and it comes out like a cheese cake/flan-custard hybrid which is to die for.

there is also powdered cream cheese you can use in it. I know, I didn't know it was a thing either and I am all about cheesecake so I am getting some lol.

Question about back sweetening. I have issues with sugar. How bad would it be to do part sugar substitute and part honey?

Totally up to you. It will taste different, of course.

I just sweetened one to 1.040 and I am not done dinking with it lol. My view is to do what the Mead NEEDS there is no wrong level of sweetness. If it makes your tastebuds happy then that is all that matters!

😮 Nice tease! What is North Mountain Supply sending? Is it their translucent bucket? BTW, I cannot tell you how much that pitcher has made brewing a lot easier.
