Super Simple Cyser 2021 - Let's finish and bottle this apple mead!
Рет қаралды 33,156
Super Simple Cyser 2021. It's time to add a few flavor enhancers to this apple cyser mead. Then, we make sure fermentation is complete using specific gravity readings, and maybe a bit of sweetener, and... finally we bottle the mead. This cyser recipe is far superior to our older Super Simple Cyser so far!
Additions:
1/2 cup (100 grams) Monkfruit Sweetener Golden: amzn.to/3jbLF3U
3 apples worth of dried apple rings
1 cinnamon stick

One of the only words I know in swahili is thanks to my aunt's visit to your amazing country. So thank you my rafiki. I did not want to use an artificial sweetener and wondered if I put 1/2 a cup of brown sugar in during primary fermentation if that would help. You pretty much just proved that. Clove is also a great idea and I was planning on using bread yeast as well. Thanks again, friend.

The only oxygen in the syringe would come from the tubing. Stick it in the headspace and ‘rinse’ it a few times with the gasses there - should be totally fine. We do this all the time in my lab (scientist). You were right when you mentioned most of the gas came from the liquid
@leonardovidal8029 3 жыл бұрын
My thoughts exactly (not a scientist). Also, some CO2 trapped in the liquid might have been released with the pressure, and that's what's probably responsible for the bubbles they noticed in the syringe. NOT oxygen.
@kylegustaveson5345 3 жыл бұрын
I agree all good points. Was just thinking, if Brian were to keep the syringe upright vertically instead of folded over, it wouldn't stir the liquid through the oxygen bubble sitting at the top of the syringe while sucking in. The oxygen would sit above the liquid (as it flows up from the bottom) and wouldn't run through the liquid while expanding the syringe. That said, I don't see it being a huge deal, but just sharing my thoughts on possible methodology improvements. Full disclosure, I'm not a professional and just thoughts based on my opinion. Everyone is welcome to do what they will ;) and I enjoy the content and appreciate the hard work shared.

Update: cyser rehydrated apples make an amazing touch to dutch apple cakes after you rack off the mead. Bonus points if you happen to have raisins from racking a pyment at the same time.

If I think I need to remove something from the fermenter (cinnamon stick, oak spiral,etc), I tie a piece of sanitized fishing line to the object, have the tag end of the line hanging outside the vessel by a foot or so, screw the lid on or put the bung and airlock in. Then, depending on the type of vessel I’m using, I can tie the line off on the carboy glass finger ring, or tie it around the airlock, to prevent the line from falling in when sampling.

Hi, turkey baster is making a mess because the hole on the tube is too big to hold the liquide, you should try to reduce it by gently heating the tip and folding it to half the diameter of the hole. And do a test by holding it filled with water. By the way, when you use the seringe to tranfert a sample, it didn't oxygenated, it just degassed due to the negative pressure from the pulling trough a narrow tube. Good luck.

About your use of the baster replacement: That's NOT oxygenation, it is cavitation. You are creating a vacuum in a closed space. The bubbles are CO2 coming out of solution. Just thought I'd clear that up for you. I hope you ate the apple slices.

Dehydrating them added extra flavors from caramellization. Freezing won't actually do that, but you can put them in fresh if you want, just won't be the same.

This may be a dumb question. But I'm new to brewing and figured I'd ask anyway! You took a reading after primary fermentation, but then you added monkfruit extract to sweeten it. Did you take a note of both numbers? Before and after adding the extract? Does adding the extract change the alcohol content in the brew since the ending gravity is now higher? I'm thinking about adding something similar and have taken a gravity reading but I'm wondering if I should keep track of what the gravity is both before and adding the monkfruit extract because once fermentation completes, I need to subtract off the difference to calculate alcohol content? Sorry if that's confusing. Just trying to learn!

@libererchoisi 2 жыл бұрын
First off, love the content, keep it coming! On to the (admittedly long) questions... Question 1: 1:55 Around this timestamp, you mentioned that it showed "negative pressure" and that was why you decided to pull a sample and test. Does that simply mean you waited until the airlock stopped making a LOT of bubbles, stop making consistent bubbles, or until it went straight to even on both sides of the airlock? I'm asking because, unfortunately, I followed your recipe in everything except the 71B (couldn't get my hands on it right away) and used the Fleischmann's active dry yeast I had instead. I presumed that would mean it would take at least a little longer before I could grab a reading and add the dried apples and cinnamon stick. However, when I re-watched this video and checked it 10 days after like you, it seemed like it was still pretty active. I've let it sit more and it's been about 18 days now, so I just want to make sure I know what I'm looking for before I test it. I presumed "negative pressure" meant "even on both sides of the airlock and not producing any more CO2". However, it's been quite a bit longer now and I'm ... concerned is the wrong word ... wondering if I'm waiting unnecessarily long and I don't need to wait for that evening out to occur. Question 2: If I do pull a sample to test, should I absolutely wait until I hit 1.000 or if I test, let it sit, and wait a week and get the same gravity, should I be pretty good to go, as active fermentation would have halted? My starting specific gravity was 1.084 - I presume due to the different honeys used and the fact that I was able to measure exactly a pound. I know in other videos, you may pull two readings a week apart and that letting everything sit a bit longer shouldn't be an issue, but I'd rather not wait unnecessarily due to being overly cautious. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
@CitySteadingBrews 2 жыл бұрын
First, it cannot sit too long, no harm will come. Second, take readings a week apart, when they don’t change, it’s done fermenting.

The instant cider won’t do much for fermentation and it has preservatives so it could harm it. Might add flavors though. Molasses is a great flavorant but if it ferments it tastes like it sounds and needs lots of time to age.

Personally…. I wouldn’t use them. Too many preservatives. But if you had to, leave it for after fermentation yes.

What temp is it in the room where you store them for a year?

zero oxygen enter the syringe. pulling the plunger causes a vacuum that is pulling the liquid into the empty space. this also allows trapped gases to escape from solution. that's all carbon dioxide, so no harm done! edit: actually, there would be oxygen in the tube, so that would make it in. however a turkey baster would introduce even more, so your new way is still better in that regard.

So I'm trying to make the super simple sizer 2.0. After 1st fermentation the brew carbonized. What does that mean, This was discovered when I introduced the monk's fruit sweetener it fizzed up.

It’s normal. You can stir it up like we do lots of time to degas or just let it sit a few weeks.

After watching this, I made a cyser... I got 16% abv... It's not bad taste... I think aging will make it better. I made a banana wine... 18% I didn't like it when I racked it: high alcool, don't really taste the banana... But after another month and backsweeting it, you can taste the banana much more. It's amazing that the taste develops with time. Why so?

Aging does a lot of various things to brews. Nearly all will improve over time.

Hi guys! Is it possible you could use apples that are not dehydrated, or would that cause other issues?
@CitySteadingBrews 2 жыл бұрын
You can. We just wanted the extra depth of flavors from them being dried.
