It's always great when people try homebrewing, and you've done a pretty good job here. I understand where you're coming from on certain things as your ethos. Not buying commercial yeasts and using the naturally occurring yeast can be a good way to ferment. However, without going too overboard I would recommend: - Buying and using a hydrometer to know what the ABV of the drink is. - Definitely keep using an airlock and don't encourage people to use balloons because they harbour a great deal of bacteria which can ruin your brew. - Ferment the must initially in a fermenting bucket and airlock and then siphon it into the 1 gallon demijohn after it stops fermenting to help reduce the amount of sediment at the bottom of your drinks (not many people like that and it makes giving it as a gift a little less appreciated xD ) - I would definitely consider using something like StarSan to sanitise your equipment. There are chemicals to worry about and not use (potassium metabisulphites etc.) and I don't use those either but just being sanitary is pretty important. Great job though, sounded pretty tasty!
Thank you so much for such detailed feedback! I did buy a hydrometer after making this but I haven’t quite figured out how to use it yet. You sounds like you have a ton of knowledge in this 😀 I’m just starting out so I appreciate your input!
@@FermentedHomestead Yeah no worries! I always love seeing people doing home-brewing and there is nothing more satisfying than coming out the other side with an amazing product! I've been home-brewing for a little while now and I've made a lot of mistakes so I try to pass on my knowledge to help people get to where I'm at now a little bit faster 😁 I would recommend watching a few, if not all, videos of Brian and Derica over on the City Steading Mead and More channel - you will learn a great deal from those guys (they have a hydrometer video too you can watch ☺️) and it will help you to make a really great product 👍 Good luck on your next endeavour 🤞🍀
I had a friend with a basement full of expensive wine making equipment and one who'd buy plastic bottles of juice and add sugar and yeast directly to the bottle it came in. Both made tasty wine.
Try adding a bunch of squashed grapes, they have a natural yeast, please just try and let me know the outcome, I've already done this you won't be disappointed 😁👍
Great video and good idea to make a wine using indigenous yeast. Two or three quick thoughts: 1. Using about 1.5 lbs of sugar in about 1 US gallon of water has the potential to make a wine that is about 8% alcohol by volume. Use less sugar if you want a less sweet and less alcoholic wine. 2. Indigenous yeast are unlikely to have the same tolerance for alcohol (which is toxic for yeast) as lab cultured yeast, so the potential limit may not be reached by the yeast and that will mean that they will quit while there is sugar remaining and that will mean that this wine may finish sweet rather than brut dry. 3. Once the yeast start burping out carbon dioxide the wine becomes saturated with that gas and if you put anything into the container that has rough surfaces or edges - powders OR wooden utensils those surfaces NUCLEATE the gas and that allows the gas to more easily collect and that allows the collected gas to form larger bubbles and those bubbles can force a column of liquid above them, UP.... 4 The yeast will still ferment in the bottles and that is how and why the plastic bottle becomes firm. If you don't touch the fermenting bottle for at least two weeks more of the sugars will be fermented and you may want to buy an hydrometer to monitor the density of the wine. As the yeast ferment the sugars the density drops. Alcohol is LESS dense than water and water has a nominal density of 1.000. Ignoring the fruit in the liquid, if you have about 1 lb of sugar dissolved in water to make 1 US gallon the density of that liquid will be about 1.040
I would like to say you have a lovely kitchen, I could feed an army of people from there as I cook as well, but my kitchen is small, and I can still feed alot from it,
Just started the mangowine myself .. you started right away in a bottle, a bucket is more convenient for the first week, .. now day 14 .. bottled it and put it in the fridge .. but already saw the yeast is still active (it seemed to have stopped, but no) .. so the fermentation continues till it ends .. then we will see. Also made a wine based on citrus fruits (tangerines) .. tasted it, was extremely alcoholic and tasted like grapefruit, .. so it needed addional sugar. The journey of wine-making is the fun and so are the mistakes.
I like to avoid plastic, especially in fermenting. I did buy a few larger bottles to use next time though! Interesting on the citrus, I wouldn’t have guessed! I’m going to have to try that some time 😁
Maybe I am missing something here, but here in India, we all know that the upper beak of the mango must always be sliced off, since it contains a severely irritating sap that burns the skin and throat
I love mango! I wouldn’t think mangoes are easy to get this time of year but I’ll look. I’ve have mango wine slushy’s that are to die for!!! Thanks for the recipe 😁
Oh, my! This sounds heavenly! It reminded me of my grandparents' dandelion wine when you mentioned using a balloon as a topper. I can still remember the five gallon jugs fermenting away in the hall closet.
you can say this is the IPA of wines, wild harvest mango brewing is an indian recipe or practice and the dring is delicious as well as refreshing but one thing wrong about the BrewNourish recipe you saw is that the honey should be avoided, honey has a natural antiseptic called levulose and it might kill some of the yeast just skip it and add honey later if you want to make a cocktail so you were right to not add honey in the fermenter your timing was off, happens to everyone you should have bottled right before the volcano incident
congrats for this video I really like mango wine. but is making wine at home and in this way does not cause methanol. that is to say, the fermentation process is over, there is no risk of having methanol in our wine??
Hi, I have noticed that you havent added any yeast, still it is super active? What is the reason for that? I heard grapes and wheat are natural yeasts but never heard about Mango before. Is Mango also a natural yeast? Appreciated! Thank you for the video.
As someone whos blended mangoes 2days ago and looking for anyone whos also blended mangoes to make wine, this is encouraging. Have to say I knew what was coming with the overflow (mine overflowed same night... tip would be no bung and airlock for 1st few days... just clean teatowel over the opening) and gave a chuckle 😂 (not sure if i can post a pic). Have to say was so worried when seen you bottled them so early ... please google "bottle bomb" ... the swing lids used here wont allow co2 to escape (crown caps are best as lid can pop off) The swing tops, or screw tops can and will cause the glass to shatter embedding itself in anything near (plasterboard, shatter shower doors, let alone shards of glass into an artery!... quite literally it's created a BOMB💣 ) so please be careful and only used crown caps into bottles designed for carbonation (beer bottles) and that will pop under pressure spraying walls than dangerous glass .. stay safe. I really enjoyed watching this and glad to see it ended well 😊
If it is actual mold you can choose to scoop it out or toss it, that is a personal choice on white or green. Personally if it is a very small amount that hasn’t sank into the wine I would scoop it off. Are you sure it’s mold and not kham yeast?
G'day Anna, love mango so I'm definitely going to try this. I made a mango kombucha not long ago it was really tasty. Thanks for sharing and God bless you guys. 🦘👍
Hummm...😝🤔🤭..., if there is an odor of rotten eggs or similar, the wild yeasts in your mango wine probably lacked food..., which is normal and happens a lot with amateur brewers... . Next time add the food for the yeasts to multiply and carry the fermentation to the end and you will not have the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas in your wines..., best regards...😘🇧🇷
The one I used for the video goes into a fitted rubber cap and I fill the airlock to the line with water (sometimes brine) and that allows the pressure from inside to release but since there’s no pressure from the outside the air cannot get in. I hope that helps 😃
Just thinking of trying this as well just subscribe to another channel with exact same amount of subscribers (atleast I thought it was a crazy cowinkydink) thanks fro the vid have a great day
Is there a reason you feel the need to leave snarky comments attempting to belittle strangers on the internet? Did that make you feel better? Chest puffed out more? I made it clear in the video it was my first time and sharing my learning process is the entire premise of the channel. Please feel free to ride your high horse elsewhere buh-bye
@@FermentedHomestead ah, sorry I hurt your feelings. However, what did you expect, a pat on the back. But hey, you took rhetorical to the anti-critical. If you cannot take comment, criticism or any opinion, for that matter, then why leave the comments open? As long as you post your mistakes, be ready for what comes thereafter, from anyone. Bye the way, do you really think or believe that engaging, as you did, with your commenters and making things personal helps your cause, if there is any? If you cannot accept criticism, then what does that say about you? Maybe you are not aware that any comments, good or bad, as you perceive them are ultimately good for any of your videos. But don't you worry your little head. I can avoid you like the plague if you wish.
Did you watch the video? I made it quite clear it was my first time and I was learning. Why ya gotta put someone down for learning by doing when you’re not willing to do the same? Not good for your well-being to be so judgy, even on the internet. Hope you have a great day

Cold crashing is why you put it in the fridge. It will clear and drop sediment.

I am SO blessed to have this kitchen! If you watch some of my earlier videos I had a pretty small galley kitchen so moving here was kind of amazing! 💜

I’ve never heard of that, I’ve always eaten the whole mango without issue. I’ll have to look into that.
There a wide variety of cultivars and that's not a problem with the ones commonly grown in the US.
I love mango! I wouldn’t think mangoes are easy to get this time of year but I’ll look. I’ve have mango wine slushy’s that are to die for!!! Thanks for the recipe 😁
If you have a Costco you can get mangos haha, might have to let them ripen on the counter for a week but they’re usually there!
I love all things mango. I’ve never fermented anything but I definitely want to try it.
Fermenting make things so much tastier and enhances all the goodness in them 💜
Oh, my! This sounds heavenly! It reminded me of my grandparents' dandelion wine when you mentioned using a balloon as a topper. I can still remember the five gallon jugs fermenting away in the hall closet.
I’m hoping to try that next year! I’ve never tasted it but I really want to! 💜
Would recommend getting a siphon pump to rack it. It's easier, safer, and less mess than poring.
Thank you for the tip! I will look into that 😃

Can you make full video about grape stomp and homemade wine from grape this year please?
I don’t know what that is but you’ve intrigued me and I will look into it!

Me too!
All the donts of wine making in one video. There is so many easier ways than what is shown here.
For example?
Hey 👋nice video it was helpful
But there is a problem in my wine I see white mold on the wine is it ok ?
If it is actual mold you can choose to scoop it out or toss it, that is a personal choice on white or green. Personally if it is a very small amount that hasn’t sank into the wine I would scoop it off. Are you sure it’s mold and not kham yeast?
@@FermentedHomestead I didn't know what's Kham yeast just searched on TH-cam mine seems like kham yeast 🙈🤦♂️
Do I need to refrigerate the wine after I bottle it, or is it fine in room temperature.......
I do but I don’t know if it’s required
The point of refrigerating is to stop the active fermentation. Outside the fridge, the bottles could explode.
G'day Anna, love mango so I'm definitely going to try this. I made a mango kombucha not long ago it was really tasty. Thanks for sharing and God bless you guys. 🦘👍
I haven’t tasted anything mango I haven’t liked! I’m going to have to try it in kombucha!
I used tap water without boiling it... Should it be a problem?
Not likely depending on your source. This is such an active ferment you’re not likely to notice it slowing down
How not to make wine 101 😂😂😂😂
I’m sure there are better ways but I did make wine...so there’s that 👍🏻
Great tips! Thank you!
Hummm...😝🤔🤭..., if there is an odor of rotten eggs or similar, the wild yeasts in your mango wine probably lacked food..., which is normal and happens a lot with amateur brewers... .

It was fun watching this you are humorous😊❤️🥭 I would like try this but I don't know if I've got time yet😂 so what is your name?
How do you use the fermentation seal
The one I used for the video goes into a fitted rubber cap and I fill the airlock to the line with water (sometimes brine) and that allows the pressure from inside to release but since there’s no pressure from the outside the air cannot get in. I hope that helps 😃
Made mango wine last month and it was 12%..it was really dry and i got really drunk😂😂
😂
That sounds delicious but I'm like you I would let it ferment a touch longer. Dandelion wine is good too from what I hear
That is on my list! Hopefully this spring 😀
@@FermentedHomestead yummy 😋 I look forward to it
Great ! I'll try to repeat :)
Great 😊
i fell you, first time alwas hard a little bit
Cold crash it in your gallon . Twice then bottle it.
Kindly put all the correct amount of ingredients. Thank you
Hmmm
😃
At least use the 1 step no rinse sanitizer. It's non toxic it sanitizes with oxygen.
Not sure I like mango's yet !!
Oh you will! They’re so yum!
Just thinking of trying this as well just subscribe to another channel with exact same amount of subscribers (atleast I thought it was a crazy cowinkydink) thanks fro the vid have a great day
