Speaking humbly here. Definitely sounds like some beginner mistakes, but a few you can bounce back from. To touch on a few, here goes. You just can't put regular wood from your backyard into your brew. There's plenty of companies you can purchase wood from for brewing. Next, there's beautiful yeast out there that can bring your brew to another level. Lalvin has a good selection. You can try 71B, D47, BM4x4, and much more! Also, wine tannin shouldn't give you a bitter taste. It helps add mouth feel to your brew, especially if it has a watery consistency. You can use strong black tea to help with this. Love your approach and keep working at it. You'll achieve your desired brew and become an even greater brewer. Thanks for the video, and I'm looking forward to more to come. 😉
I was expecting to see some gadgets and gizmos to avoid. I was surprised to see quality and quantity of useful and concise information you delivered in a short amount of time. Well done, hope this video propels you to a big audience.. keep it up! :)
Or better yet, when eyeing up equal amounts, take 2 containers, bowls or whatever is on hand and pour the sugar into them until you see they are even. This works for practically anything. Excellent information btw.
Turbo yeast I believe is designed for very large batches, on small batches there are way too much nutrients in the pack. I've heard of people having good results on like 300 gallon batches. Basically its for distilling, like DADY yeast. I tried DADY in beer once.. Terrible! lol tasted a lot like bananas, may be good in a wheat beer
I mostly distill alcohol. EC1118 is a great yeast… I use it often. Lately I’ve been experimenting with a combination of Dady yeast, EC1118 and rum yeast. I use them on oak spirals normally used for aging wine and spirits. I’m hoping that these yeast logs over time will create a unique strain of yeast that has the characteristics of the best of each. We’ll see.🤷♂️ Interesting video. Subbed.💪👍🥃
Very helpful! Thank you.

thanks!! and a gadget I'd avoid is an electronic pH meter :)

For tannins you can use one black tea bag per gallon of wine instead of tannin powder. I do this all the time.
ooh!! good to know! and that's much more cost efficient too

@@BillMcGirr ooh interesting!! Does the mixture of yeasts affect the alcohol taste? And thanks for subscribing!
How much brewers yeast should I add to one gallon of juice that has vitamin c added to it? Thanks.
I'd only add EC1118 at first, but if the fermentation stalls, I would add an extra 1tsp of brewer's yeast :)
Youre beautiful and smart 🎉👑
@@Christopher-tr1xu thanks!!
