Living in the philipines, having liqor ban, I did mango wine, around 6-8 kilo of mango, 2 kilo of sugar, regular dry yeast, cause, the only yeast available, add water up to 20 liters, let it work a couple ow weeks, pass to another jug, rest 2 weeks, then bottle, taste awesome, just trying Mango pure, looking and smelling good too.

I seee lots of wild mustard growing below the tree too! Spade shaped leaf, with toothed edges, and small white flowers with two paired petals with on stamen and 4 pistals. It can have a hot garlicky flavor.

@madnotbad44 4 года назад

Great recipe and well explained. Anyone making elderflower wine or champagne try to get the flowers from the taller tree type elder as the smaller hedge type elder has a funny smell and can give a bad taste. Give them a sniff and if they smell like cat piss go on to another tree 😊

@LatelyOggy 3 месяца назад

Nice video! I have just tried this recepie. My third year in a row doing it but this year i have decided to follow yours and use yeast. When i removed the elderflower heads and everything else there were quite a few black floating specs at the surface, i removed quite a few of them. Im now wondering if that was a mistake, as ive not seen any major bubbles in the bubbler? Was it maybe yeast?

@laytonosullivan158 4 года назад

Thanks Dustin for the great, simple little video. Just one question, did you use caster sugar (I think I recognise those packets) or ordinary granulated sugar in your recipe and does it really matter what type of sugar you use? I'm assuming it's a matter of caster sugar being easier to dissolve? Thanks again.

@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS 4 года назад

Do you need to release some gas every now and then from the bottles (burping)? To stop them from exploding? Cheers 👍

I also wonder this especially with the added yeast packet.

@NeilGoater 4 года назад

Hey Dustin. How did you get the wine so clear? I'm just about to bottle it and it is very murky. Did you use finings? Thanks for the great video.

@sparkysteve3780 4 года назад

What did you do to carbonate the champagne?

@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS 4 года назад

The fermentation process will carbonate it for you. The addition of a pinch of sugar added to the bottle prior to filling will ensure fizz!

Do you need to burp the bottles once in a while to release some pressure, just wondering as I’m going to use old champagne bottles with plastic cork and cage?

How r u

@Medietos 3 месяца назад

What do you mean by 2/3 lemons, meaning two thirds, or did you want to say 2 to 3 (2-3)? Please tell us and show how you suck without getting germs on to the hose. Is it just by keeping your tongue away and lips agood bit oiff the opening, I suppose? What does the vinegar do? Why no black tea? What's the duifference with boiling the flowers and lemons? What depress Celsius is good for the 3 stages? Is the last brewing not cooler? Or at least the final storage? How long does it keep? And how long should one let it mature before using, please? Alcohol % I got just a tiny bit at 15 y o, maybe 1%. No risk of bottles exploding at 10 % alcohol? - Thank you, lovely.

@jayjay20013455 4 года назад

Can I use beer yeast instead of champagne yeast? Thanks

@davidc4983 2 года назад

You're going to get different flavor characteristics, and depending on your strain you might not have the same alcohol tolerances, which, if this comes out strong, will mean you'll develop off flavors as the beer yeast struggles in the alcohol rich environment.

@hansolofholmberg2071 2 года назад

Describe the vacuum-sucking without making bacteria please. Temperatures (in C?) What about risk of explosion, does one HAVE to buy expensive champagne bottles?¨ What do you think of using ordinary baking yeast? Is your chapmagne dry then? In order to get less alc, doesn one just decrease sugar? Thank you if you can ansewr, and be well!

@kmconlon81 Год назад

Baking yeast is different than brewer's or wine or champagne yeast. I wouldn't use it in this recipe.

@simik1231 2 года назад

Good video for home-brewing. But there is really no sense in sterilising all the equipment except the bottles. Flowers naturally contain lot of bacteria and yeast and also if you leave anything sterilised on fresh air even for the second, microbes will start to grow. I recommend to put just a tiny bit of sulphur dioxide to the mixture of flowers, water and limes which will kill wild microbes but do not have effect on champagne yeast. But you need to be careful with amounts because if you overkill it, all the microbes will die.

@stevanavich 3 года назад

Surely the lemon and lime flavours dominate when there's that many of them, no?

@bigbark4627 Год назад

Yes, great question and I thought the same. Also, after all the lemon and lime is the vinegar needed?

@kmconlon81 Год назад

@@bigbark4627 Yes because the juice and the peel (really you can just zest and juice them. I wouldn't throw the whole carcass in) add much needed citric acid which helps preserve the beverage as well as feed the yeast. You'll find citrus in pretty much all elderflower champagne recipes.

@MrAwawe Год назад

0:44 Pollen is not yeast, yeast is not pollen. Pollen are microscopic multicellular capsules containing a plant's sperm cells; yeast is a unicellular fungal organism which is completely separate from plants. Yeast has nothing to do with pollen. They come from two completely different kingdoms of eukaryotes: plants and fungi.

@antonioj.2147 3 года назад

I really doubt that it tastes good, there's nothing to give it tanin and body, there's nothing to give it sweetness, there's no nutrient for the yeast so it's possible that there are off flavors. 1 month very little time for it to mellow out and taste good, you haven't done a tasting or a description of the drink. I have some experience with homebrewing and I wouldn't recommend this.

@downinthemuff 2 года назад

I’ve made it loads of times, slightly different recipe and it tastes great. I’d recommend maturing in the bottle for a couple of months for a better flavour.

@jeremy87turbo87 4 года назад

The thing you call a bubbler is called an airlock...... for those that don't know what it does or is what it does is when the fermentation is taking place it builds up a gas and expands and it releases the gas

Great explanation. Many thanks
