Great video. One suggestion: if you find the malic acid in plums too sharp, you might consider using 71B yeast. This yeast has an affinity for malic and will metabolize about half the malic and transform it into lactic acid (a far softer tasting acid than malic). Alternatively, (and at some additional expense, you might apply MLF bacteria to transform all the malic into lactic acid. This is something that wine makers who make red grape wine typically do when they work with grapes and not kits or juice.

Hi Shaun, it's great to see some content like this on your channel. You seem to have learned so much about fermentation (likely by making hot sauces I guess) that you can apply this to so many more fields of application. Looks like it is doable by many people at home, so thanks for sharing it! Excellent Video, even though i typically come here for pepper related content.

Thanks Flitzi! It's actually the other way around. I learned about fermenting chillies after learning about fermenting alcohol! The whole process is fascinating to me

Planning to do a no-water plum mead with all the plums from our family cabin in the near future! Wines and such are a great way to use plums indeed.

I love the added mouth feel and flavors of fruit meads( melomels). I make a lot of wild lowbush no water blueberry meads with blueberry blossom honey. I bet a no water plum mead would be killer. I looked online and you can get plum blossom honey and people say the plum honey has tropical fruit notes. Good luck, sounds great.

Hello from Norway! I've been enjoying your videos and it was such a pleasure to come accross this one as I have several plum trees that are absolutely overladen with ripe fruit. A quick few questions: obviously you are happy with your result so I will be following your recipe. The campden tablets I have suggest one table pr 5L of mash. You used 1 for your whole batch. Is that enough? Also, I see others using raisins as a substitute for yeast nutrient. Have you ever tried that? Lastly, I see that you are fermenting only the juice. Is there a reason for not fermenting the juice, the pulp and skins in primary fermentation?
@ChilliChump11 күн бұрын
Hey there. Thanks for watching! I like to use the least amount of Camden tablets (sodium metabisulfite) that I can. The dosing works for me. If you don't want to use the yeast nutrients I show, then raisins will be good, but I would also add lemon juice. That would be a good combo. If you start with less solids and particulates then you have a better chance of getting a clear result. I guess if you don't have an abundance of the fruits then sure, add in the rest of it.
@HuldraX.11 күн бұрын
Thank you for that great answer! I can't wait to get started!!! I'm going to take a few liters of the final product and try to soak some roasted French oak chips for a few weeks. I might fall flat on my face, but hey..who knows?! I really love your videos and your clear methodical presentation. My Scotch Bonnet and Tabasco plants are doing surprisingly well outdoors after a typically cool Norwegian summer. Can't wait to make some good sauces for winter! Keep up the great work and have fun! Cheers🍻

Was coming here to say that. Not a lot of places let you give away alcohol for free around where I live (it's illegal in the state I live in, likely many others) but shipping it is exceptionally difficult. I'm certain shipping alcohol without the proper permits, licenses, and going through the proper channels is strictly illegal in all 50 of the United States. It's probably similar in the UK, and surrounding countries.
