Peanut Butter Banana Mead Finishing and Bottling
Рет қаралды 18,824
3 жыл бұрынPeanut Butter Banana Mead. It's time we finish and bottle this one. In all honesty, it's not what we were hoping for. It's not very peanut buttery, but... it is very banana mead. You'd have to watch the video, but, in the end, it's always a learning experience, and something we can improve on in the future.

See it’s videos like this that sets you above the rest when it comes to brewing channels. Others will BS and say how amazing it it to make themselves look good and make out that nothing went wrong, or not as expected. The honesty with your disappointment with the lack of peanut butter flavour shows how genuine you are. It also proves that even brews that didnt turn out as expected can still turn out great in their own way. Thank you both for your continued awesome, down to earth, factual, entertaining videos. Going to be interesting to see how that bottle is after a year of ageing.

I just got a pack of those same swing top adapters and agree wine bottles seem to be best suited. Also using two pairs of pliers and giving each side a very slight bend or elbow allowed me to adjust it to fit on nearly all bottles which was handy since most wine bottles seemed to be a little loose as is.

I'm not sure what peanut powder you may have used, but most of the peanut powders I know of are largely the powder you get after extracting oils and such for other uses. Making it mostly the fibers, sugars and proteins and not as much of the flavorings. I think if you wanted a real peanutty flavor you might look into making a peanut extract, or distill out the essential oils of peanut. although now that I think of it I'd bet an almond extract would work pretty well in flavors. By the way that's for sharing your experiment. I'm hoping to do a bit of experimenting myself this year. I'm thinking of doing a holiday spiced mead, I'm debating doing a mead that I later back sweeten with apricot (I feel like I would want to add someth else too but the only thing I can think of is ginger), and maybe for summer time to roll around I should see if I can make a melon mead (honey dew and watermelon).

I've read that nut flavors are hard to add to wine because something about the lipid content of nuts (or beans in this case) holds onto those flavors.

Not as many as you might think. Also, my mug holds half a bottle, and that much has about 0 effect on me so if I had one a day, that's 3-4 bottles a week gone. Add in Derica drinking a glass with dinner for another 1-2 bottles and we're going through over a gallon a week without even binge drinking. Since we make a gallon every 2-3 weeks, that's not so bad. We do have about 60 bottles in storage right now though.

This recipe and the banana wine recipe gave me ideas at the same time my 6.5 gal fermenter showed up...so 15lbs of bananas, 4 vanilla beans, 5gal of water and 10lbs white sugar is nearing the two week mark and bubbling away. Will remove bag of banana mush and have 5lbs of dark brown sugar to step feed so as not to be left with a higher than desired gravity. My success with mead making has been poor, as both times I've developed a, well, what can only be described as a suspended snot jellyfish.

@CitySteadingBrews 3 жыл бұрын
Seems fine? You may get some refermentation when you add the juice at the end since most juice is only 1.050 or so OG, and 1.5 lbs of honey is like 1.052, so you have 1.102 or so. Which is a potential of 13.7%. Depending on how consistent that yeast is, you 'could' get more fermentation but just watch for it. As you add juice, you dilute that 13.7%, so if it went below the tolerance, it could kick back up again.

What if you added a peanut butter flavoring after it's done
@Sirrahlala 3 жыл бұрын
Hmm, fresh peanuts roasted in the oven, then ground in a processor would seem good. Also, the peanut flavored oils in suspension would need a low abv brew, because high alcohol ratio could make them fall out of suspension into the lees, from what I understand. A wild ferment or cider yeast could work better. Not an expert, though.

When you say you’re putting a bottle away for a year or so what kind of environment are you keeping that bottle in? The same/similar place as fermenting? Could you possibly leave it in the fridge for that time and if so will it do anything to the brew?

Hello. I am just starting out with making my own mead. My father got me a few 5 litre bottles for it. But I remember that you moved your ginger mead from a 1 gallon jar to a 3l one. I do not have any smaller bottles, nor can I really find any smaller than 5l when I check on various danish sites. Is there anything I can use to fill up the 5l bottle without damaging neither bottle nor mead?
@CitySteadingBrews 3 жыл бұрын
Well, honestly a smaller vessel is best, but short of that, use sanitized marbles. The idea is to have as little headspace as possible after you rack from primary.

Let’s combine a couple of your recipes! Your peanut butter didn’t give the flavors you wanted here, something in it needed to be broken down for further processing by the yeast (??).

@@CitySteadingBrews sorry, a bit more detail: the koji you use for brewing sake can also be used to tenderize steaks (search koji steaks). The reason for this is that the koji processes the proteins and fats in the steaks, similar to how it processes the starches in rice, converting them to usable sugars. I’m not sure if it’ll work, but what if you koji the peanut butter in the brew? Perhaps it’ll breakdown the PB into a usable form for the yeast, and extract more of the flavors. Just a thought experiment...
