Hey, you don't have to waste!! Get a tall, thin pitcher, pour all left in fermenters, cover tight, put in fridge. In about a week you'll have several cups more wine!!! It clears to the last of lees from wine. Save!! I use tall thin jelly jars. On a five gallon+ batch, you can recover an entire bottle's worth of wine from the lees. New people can use this to help with the fermenter racking.

I normally do much the same I rack off the lees and pour the goop in a vase cover it and put it in the fridge if it flocculates well I recover the wine and I've even gone as far as using old lees to start a new fermentation! Just got to be careful it's much the same brew as the original brew. It keeps flavors from being weird. Waste not want not is my motto!

@eddavanleemputten9232 Жыл бұрын

I only do this if I have head space issues and no finished brew hanging about that would fit the flavour of whatever I’ve just racked. As I make mostly meads, I always try to have some traditional mead on hand in 33 cl bottles (honey + water + nutrient + yeast). I ferment it to my average ABV for meads, let it ferment completely dry, and stabilise it (usually pasteurisation). Perfect topping up liquid for all of my meads. For wines, apple wine or grape wine works, we tend to perceive both as quite ’neutral’ as both juices are often used to dilute other juices: mango, berry, strawberry, cherry, cranberry, banana etc from the store often will be diluted with these if you check the label. Depending on where you live, it won’t even be specified and the label will only read “100% juice” or 100% juice from concentrate without specifying which fruit that juice cones from. The customer is then tricked into believing that his bottle of, say, cherry juice contains 100% cherry juice. Nope. It could contain a large proportion of apple juice or grape juice, but not enough to be noticeable through the cherry flavour. Note to self: brew up some extra apple wine. I’m running out. LOL

I keep coming back to this video, and I have one wish/recommendation for the future: When you do these videos that include back sweetening, could you take a hydrometer/SG reading as well? You mention how much sugar you use, but we could be doing 1 gallon, 3 gallon, 5,6 whatever. I would have loved to have seen the sg reading when you sampled it semi sweet, and when you finished it sweet. Just to give me a target to shoot for. I will definitely be doing this on my own for my own record keeping. But it’s a small detail that doesn’t take a lot of time to do but would help us a lot. Thanks!

@HowToDoneRight 4 ай бұрын

Great idea.....but..... your semi sweet is going to be different than my semi sweet and your sweet will be different than mine.... that is why it is subjective so don't want to give you a number. I would get loads of comments that it was not sweet or semisweet. Plus every fruit the amount of sugar water you add will be different. Everyone's pallet will be different. Thats what makes this hobby great you get to make it the way you want, not the way I like it. Hope that makes a little clear why I would not want to throw numbers out there for that. Thanks for commenting and great idea. 😀😀🍷🍷👍👍

Lol your right... She is going to be in charge of the sweetness just like my wife... but that's the fun thing... you can bottle different sweetness as you go on each batch... from just a little... to a sweet dessert wine. 🍷🍷

What a great video! It gave me an idea for a mean carbonated hard soda I bet if I used ale yeast and got my numbers right back sweetened with nonfermentable sugars then using pop-top bottles put some carbonation drops in them bout a week or so later it will be to die for! yep, it`s settled I'm making it !! thanks for the inspiration and thoughtful content

@eddavanleemputten9232 Жыл бұрын

That would be a great idea! As long as your yeast is still below alcohol tolerance, it should work. Just to be sure you could add a pinch of extra yeast in the batch and mix it through… or add the tiniest pinch into each bottle. Either are my MO when I want bottle conditioned wine, mead or cider. As soon as my brew is clear either methods is what I do.

@@eddavanleemputten9232 Well I was thinking about using Safale S-04 I've had a good experience in the past with it I plan to keep it low abv about 6-8%tange so well within the tolerance of the yeast and easy drinking. I`m either going to use allulose or lactose as my nonfermentable sugar so it has the "lemonade" taste I`m not 100% sure which to go with. Thank you for the wonderful advice I`m going to play with this idea till I come up with something really good!

@eddavanleemputten9232 Жыл бұрын

@@xxx_madman_xxx5868 Safale-S04 is a great choice! I love it for lower ABV brews. Maybe check its pH requirements? Skeeter Pee is, after all, quite acidic. Should be fine, but as I’m a bit of a control freak, I’d check. As for the non-fermentable sugar, I don’t know how much you’ve worked with lactose. I find you need A LOT more of it than sugar to achieve the same sweetness, so I tend to use it more to add a creamy feel than to add sweetness. I might use both lactose and allulose, if you have both already. The lactose would add smoothness without taking away freshness and the allulose would get you to the sweetness you’d like. It all depends on how sweet you want the end result to be. Over time I’ve accumulated a variety of things in my bag-o-tricks, as I call it. So balancing and back sweetening tends to very much be a thing of the moment. Even when I repeat a recipe, although I have full notes in front of me, I tend to fiddle around with the final ingredients a bit (and add that to my notes). As a result I’ve got a variety of sweeteners to pick from as well (erythritol, stevia, allulose, lactose). Adding a bit of lactose to another non-fermentable sweetener in a brew tends to help with that ‘minty’ feel as well. It kind of calms it down. Don’t know if I’m making sense. Pure allulose might give it that super-fresh edge. Lactose might give it a vibe going towards creamsickle for grownups. Combining the two will entirely depend on what you’re shooting for. Mmmmm… interesting! And all are very yummy prospects! I’m sure you’ll come up with something that’s absolutely amazing! Now I want to start myself a batch to turn it into a hard lemonade! All my fermenters are full though. Drat. 🤣

Hoping for some guidance, I've followed your recipe for 3 batches now, amazing stuff, but the danger in me wants to push the envelope. 2nd batch plum raspberry I added vanilla extract and clove at primary fermentation. Turned out wonderfully, very much a sip by the fire in fall kinda drink. This last one I kept it simple and went with mixed berry, nothing special added but was found wanting at tasting after the primary fermentation. I'm curious: Is there a way to add additional flavors post fermentation without letting the bad bugs in?

@HowToDoneRight Жыл бұрын

It is best to add extracts right before Bottling when adding campden tablets. Because you can taste it right before Bottling. Adding upfront in primary as rack and go through process will change before Bottling and might not want the desired taste. Great question. 👍👍

@kw9120 Жыл бұрын

@HowToDoneRight So if you add anything at racking, always add Camden tabs. Good to know! Follow up question, it's there a good rule of thumb on what tastes better being fermented vs adding at the end? I just racked a Pineapple habenero and I dunno I have my doubts on this one. Went all in on the primary.

Yes you can. But not going to be near as good as real fruit . You would need 3 to 4 six oz size cans of concentrate per gallon of wine.

@eddavanleemputten9232 Жыл бұрын

What you can do, is check online how much sugar etc fresh lemon juice contains. You should be able to find that online. The, check how much the concentrate contains. That should enable you to calculate how much water to use to dilute it to the same strength as fresh juice. Some times, concentrates have a mention like “1 bottle equals 10 fresh lemons!” Get 1 fresh lemon, squeeze it, measure the juice. Take a safety margin as you won’t be able to squeeze out the same amount of juice as an industrial juicer. From there on out, it should be a simple multiplication. Or… check online how much juice an average lemon contains. I do this for all sorts of juices. Especially sugar concentrations.
