I just wanted to share this anecdotal finding. I might become a VIP at some point because I watch your videos a lot. My brother admitted something to me the other day-he told me that all my wines taste almost the same, no matter what fruit I use. I've been brewing for 5 years, so this really surprised me. I decided to review my technique, and I may have found something interesting. I use bentonite in all of my wines for clearing, as I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to refining. So, I decided to run an experiment. I made two batches using the exact same recipe: store-bought grape juice with added yeast, yeast nutrient, energizer, sugar, pectic enzyme, tannins, and acid blend. These were both 1-gallon batches. In one batch, I added bentonite at the end of secondary fermentation. In the second batch, I didn't add any bentonite and just let it clear naturally. The batch with bentonite lacked grape aroma and flavor-it just tasted like a generic wine (that's the best way I can describe it). The second batch, without bentonite, cleared on its own in about 3 weeks after secondary fermentation started. I added sulfites to help stabilize it, backsweetened it with erythritol, bottled it, and had a taste. It was like drinking grape juice with alcohol-that’s how amazing it was! After trying the bentonite batch, I found it was fine, but a lot of the grape aroma was lost. My brother will be trying the new wine soon, and I hope it will be much better this time. But my opinion so far is... I think I've been screwing up my flavor for 5 years lol :D
I've not tested side by side like that, but again, anecdotally, I've heard the same thing. Not sure if it's a dose issue or if any amount does it. Sounds like a test is needed!
Noah, you sound like you'll fit right in to the group! That's a great test. I'm a former bentonite user myself; I stopped mainly because I don't care about clarity, and it was just one extra step. I was considering adding some to a current batch of mango-coconut mead to try to settle the pulp. Now I think I will add it to one container and not the other, to see if it affects the taste. Thank you for this timely finding!
Never made a braggot before, but I do absolutely love Porters and Stouts. This is brilliant. Going to give this one a shot for my first braggot. Also, truly love the swag on your store. I only have some shirts, and definitely need to get a hat. Love the content as always.
#Bellissimo. I guess I´ll try to reproduce this one as soon as I get myself a keg (already on my must-have/want list) and one of my best friends loves Mead-beers.
On the topic of blood temperature, there is a fascinating thing that scientists have noticed. Blood/body temperatures have been going down. Each generation has a lower average temperature than the previous. Theories vary on cause, but the one I think has the most probability is that on average we are healthier and getting sick less often, so our bodies are fighting infections less often and need an elevated temperature less.
I'm totally giving this a shot soon! I may add a small cup of Lapsang Souchong tea which will add the flavor and scent of a pine smoke campfire to the drink!
I found the same pitcher at our local farm supply store (North 40) in the chemical isle, $16 I think and came in several sizes and no shipping cost so I got two of course.
Lewis Black's "The White Album" if I recall correctly. I can't remember if it is part of the IHOP joke or if it is a separate joke... I still have that album, and I now I have to listen to it... THANKS, Derica. lol
I made something close to this in May. Same dme and honey. Used fuggles hops in farmhouse 60 min boil and added 16oz cocoa nibs with 15 minutes left in hop boil. Bochet 4oz of honey after and mixed all. I had the same issues with marshmallow flavor fermenting out and extra chocolate flavor. Used WP007 yeast. Get's better with age. Also my wife and I spent our honeymoon in Hawaii and we shipped some honey Lehua home and made several tropical meads. Can't wait to see what you make with yours. Our favorite was a POG with an omega kveik yeast
Have you guys ever had a ferment that tasted so good before bottling that you just didn't age it? I made an apple wine using apple juice that I concentrated a bit and added a cinnamon stick. Now it's almost done with secondary fermentation, and I love the current flavor so much that I don’t think it needs any aging. But then again I feel so wrong when I don't age fermentations. Anyone else feel the same?
Sure, happens a lot. We tend to just drink our brews and not worry about aging so much. We keep one bottle for a year, but often, the rest are gone by then.
If I were to ferment using a California Wildflower honey (or something neutral) and then backsweetened using Meadowfoam honey, do you think more of the Meadowfoam taste and aroma would be present in the finished product? Thanks for all the wonderful videos and outstanding ideas!
I like that pitcher so much that I also got a smaller version so I don't have to use Pyrex and spill everywhere. (I used your link for both so I hope you got credit for it)
I tried a cherry wine using pie filling worked well but the pie filling has some unfermentable sugar so it came out a little sweet for me but at 15% still good
😂 All this Smores talk is making me want one. My Favorite variant besided the Original Receipe is instead of Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar, use a Reese's Peanut Butter cup. You have to make sure you get a good char on the marshmallow. The char pairs so well with the Peanut flavor. Highly highly recommend! For those that are allergic to peanuts I'm sorry. 😞 I always eat an extra one, in solidarity, for those poor unfortunate souls that can never enjoy this amazing aspect of life.
This is actually a great idea. I have a braggot many demand. Need to make more. One issue is as it ages it’s a in your face chocolate honey malt taste, great but it’s bold. I can think of a recipe to go for this s’mores idea. Local Ace has a grain perfect to use. Such a great idea to go for. Not done watching. My guess is back sweeten with meadow foam to preserve marsh mellow taste. I’m sitting on 5 gallons of that honey. Specifically to experiment with.
To answer the s'mores question, I was like 13-14 when I found out it originated from "some more". I was honestly dumbfounded and don't know how I didn't realize it sooner
Briess=Brees I hope you guys get to Manitowoc, WI in the summer (so much warmer) and I will try to get you a tour through the malting plant. Maybe we can get you to a Packer game also.
This is so crazy - I am getting some fresh hops off a friend tomorrow and I have been looking since Friday (when they were offered) for a beer or hybrid recipe...and you guys post this! Serendipitous? (word of tomorrow?)
@@CitySteadingBrews so its been a week and a bit and the brew is pretty much done, just tested and racked. Came out at 8.4% abv which is a bit higher than I wanted - can you explain what is the calculation to dilute the alcohol level down to say 6% (have 4.5lt currently)? I've found a couple of online calculators but both have different results - I seem to remember you covered this in a video once but can't remember which one. Have to say though, it tastes delicious! :)
First... I wouldn't really bother trying to lower it but if you really want to: ((Ounces of brew x abv)+(ounces of water)) / total ounces with water = new ABV
Okay, I've got to ask. As someone who doesn't like beer, basically at all, is there a beer/beer-like drink that has no hops/bittering agent? Because I'm like 90+% sure that's the whole reason I don't like beer is the bitter aspect of it. I do know ale has no hops, but it still has a bittering agent. The way my taste buds work, I can pretty much taste almost anything that nearly no one else could even tell is there. For example, I can taste the coffee/espresso in Black Forest cake and I prefer to make it with hot water instead cause I don't like black coffee and it has that taste. Most other people don't even really know it's there
It's one of the defining aspects of the beverage really. If you want to leave it out, try it, you might like it. I made a REALLY rustic beer once that was like 2% ABV and no bittering or carbonation. It wasn't horrible, but... wasn't great either.
@@CitySteadingBrews Fair enough. I'll at least try a small batch with no bittering, but at least carbonate it. If I don't like it, I'll just not make beer anymore
I tried my braggot I made not long ago and it tastes like it nearly fermented the honey is still really prominent and it's kind of sickly couldn't even do two glasses of it is it like a mead or wine and Ge better with age or did it screw up I also used a dark ale malt which I think was a bad idea lol smells and tastes like a guineas but sweetened with honey and not in a good way
@CitySteadingBrews I didn't have a hydrometer until recently just usually wing it and measure using my refractometer and found out with my cousins brews using his hydrometer kit that our refractometer reading decided by 2 is pretty close and it came out at about 7% going by that system but done the malt done the hops used 1.8kg honey as I wanted a nice strong brew but you just said what I was thinking and pretty sure I used the beast yeast so might try referment with ec1118 and see if it goes again and levels out
Brian, seeing that you once lived just a few hours from me I'm hoping you know what a "fluffernutter" is. Do you think it's possible to make a fluffernutter mead?
@@CitySteadingBrews One of the cats we had when I was growing up had the uncanny knack of always being right next to where something landed if it was tossed in the house, which would scare the bejezzus out of him and cause him to tear through the house like a banshee. It was very entertaining for everyone except mom.
@@MrBPC76Had a cat that looked my hubby right in the eye as she pushed his open 32 oz cup of tea off his computer desk. Our daughter was 4 at the time and he had to stop himself from calling the cat a cluster F. That was the day Clutzfudge was born.🤣
@@CitySteadingBrews there is still a faint yet constant stream of veeeeery tiny bubbles. I plan on checking it either today or tomorrow. Im guessing that its mostly de-gassing, but it is enough bubbles to leave light froth on the top.
@@CitySteadingBrews stuck at 10.6% Not awful, but I used ec 1118 and enough sugar to get me to 17.5 ish. Just added some fermade-O, maybe it'll un stick.
STUPID QUESTION from the 1/2 blind guy from Wyo. Is DSE the same as DMP (Diastatic Malt Powder)? I use it when I make pizza dough Oh, I'm not a fan of bellissimoness lol! I ain't got an eye out for bellissimo's!! I will get some thing from your new store when I get paid . This sounds like a fun one to try out! I did too live in Florida back in the 90's. Lived in Naples and went to culinary arts school down there.& worked at The Riverwalk Restaurant at Tin City for 6 years. One of the best places to dine out at in Naples, there and The Dock at Crayton Cove. Don't miss the bugs, cockroaches, noseums and the rats bigger than my cat! Happier here in Wyoming , but I do miss the Stone Crab season and getting 'Stoned to Death' lol!
Question for anyone: I want to make a cyser, but I want to use the whole gallon of juice. How much honey do I need to get the OG? I am math challenged like Derica.🤭
Now you're using a different batch size too, just remember that. You'd have to take gravity readings to know what is going on. What OG are you looking for? You didn't specify.
I'm not much for hats and t-shirts but man would I go in on some CSB logo'd/themed brewing equipment. I can just picture a measuring cup with CSB on it and the only measurement is "Datmuch".

I am not sure why I have to hunt for your videos?
Generally speaking, if you watch a creator's content, you will be suggested more of their content.

That is kind of odd. Could be some sort of anti malware or adblocker maybe interfering with the way they use information?
