Wine fermentation likes 3.4 to 3.8 Ph, I use corn sugar it is 100% fermentable, table sugar is 80% fermentable, honey is 90 to 95%% fermentable. Your Ideas on trying different recipe's and variations inspire me to make a new batch of bottles

Very cool of you to make this video! Lots of brewing channels use small amounts of tea merely for tannins but I was interested to find something as simple and as delicious as this! 👍👍 I love and brew dark red, "blood" meads all the time basically. Whatever else I might be experimenting with, there's always at least a couple of gallons of cherry and other red berry meads aging in my household. Usually more than that, and I always mix my berries with the red hibiscus tea... about a liter of it, or 20 - 25% of the entire mead volume.

I used roiboos tea in my first metheglin mead, in combination with ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Initially it was very astringent when I'd made it last November, but now after only 5 months...actually not even 5 months, more like 4 and a half (I made it on November 22), it's amazing. One of the best meads I've ever made...and it's fully dry! Normally I like both wines and meads at least semi-sweet.

if you're using that much it seems better to just loose leaf instead of bags, i looked it up and a "premium pyramid" tea bag usually contains 3g of tea so 48g-54g of loose leaf

Another brilliant video, you mentioned your grandmother's recipe- I've been trying to do some research recently into the history of this great hobby of ours, things like old recipes, nicknames (Berry's book refers to parsnip wine as 'Tanglefoot'), documents, equiptment, stories etc. Do you have any to share? Possibly do a video on it?

Had an old book of my dads from the 1940,looking for a recipe for Brandy wine the ingredients began as follows Take a Hogsheads of Brandy, (36 gallons) 300cwt of Raisin. Needless to say I did not make this, here is a recipe I did however come across, called Brandy Wine 1lb. Old Potatoes, washed and diced ( not peeled) 1lb Pearly Barley 1lb sultanas (chopped) 3lbs Demerara Sugar Hock type yeast 1 gallon boiled water Put ingredients into large covered container, add yeast when cooled. Ferment in the container for 3-4 weeks stirring once a day. After this strain into Demijohn and allow fermentation to finish. It was recommended in the recipe as I read it to leave it then for up to 3 years, however we started to drink it after 1 year.

Gave this a go as one of my first wine making attempts. It's went a bit wonky as I panicked during the the initial process. Made a Tea wine that has sherry overtones. Wasn't what I expected but on the upside my wife liked it and it was good to use for cooking. Giving it a 2nd go using Oolong tea as I have a ton of it lying around

Words can't explain how into this sweater I am. Have you tried this with acids other than citric? I'm curious about maybe malic acid or a combo. Something to complement the brightness of the citric acid? Also big thumbs up for the raisin rant. :)

I am a Brit but I live in the Philippines and whats cheap in the UK is not always cheap over here!! Mum sent me some Yorkshire T bags so I will start this brew ASAP.. My question is,as Sultanas or raisins are so expensive here and rice is so cheap what local fruit would best suit a rice wine brew?? Im a bit disappointed that raisins are like 10 Quid a Kilo here as because after watching your review of that wine I was adamant that I should make a good 10 Gallon of Rice/Rasin wine.. Any advice would be appreciated!! Cheers.

Question about the amount of sugar: 1.4-1.5 K of sugar to 4.5 L of water? That sounds like a lot. That comes out to about 3.2 lbs/7 cups (I'm an American, forgive me). Yea--sounds like a lot of sugar for a gallon batch. Is it to make the wine really strong?

I am having a second attempt at your tea wine. The first attempt i think i bottled too early and the corks all blew out. This time i have been fermenting 15 days and its still bubbling in the lock like crazy. Am not sure when to put in second fermenter. Also when you leave in Demi John to mature do you “buying” or leave airlock in?? Help . I haven’t managed any successful brew after so many attempts

@HappyHomestead 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear about your attempts so far. Give them time, my tea wine is still fermenting, 4 months on! I always leave the airlock in as this allows any gas to escape - better to be on the safe side then loose a DJ full of wine. I use glycerin in the airlocks as this is very slow to evaporate and won't cause any issues. Give the wine plenty of time :)

Hello, I always find that the longer they mature, the better they become, so if you can tuck them away - you'll be well rewarded! But, they are very tasty after 2-3 months!

Your recipe is complicated. I used 2 pounds of honey, raisin, a gallon of cold spring water and let it sit in the sun for a day then added a squirt of lime and champagne yeast. Oh I use Listerine in my airlock. It tasted kinda rough until I mixed it with skeeter pee (hard lemonade)

Is it meant to be belching! is it meant to be blasting water out of the air lock ! Mommy I'm scared ! 😆 any experienced brewers please advise 🙏 😆
