We made a wine with Goji Berries from the local Asian Market. This... was interesting. Lots going on here. We ended up doing some flavor balancing while trying to keep to the core and heart of it being a goji berry wine. Here's the thing about our recipes, like this goji berry wine: We try to not only give you a workable recipe, but show you HOW we achieved it too. Personally, I think we all learn so much more when we understand WHY things are added or not added, and what to add, and when! Enjoy!

I don’t know if it’s ever been mentioned but I KNOW you two take really good notes on each recipe you put together. But if you published a City-Steading Mead and Wine recipe book I would definitely buy it. I know all of the recipes are available on RU-vid (I’ve watched EVERY single one of them at least once) but I would really like to add said recipe book to my own personal library.

The brews you two make like this make me see everything in the grocery store in a different way. Thank you both for this new obsession. ❤

I made a 1 gallon strawberry mead and 1 gallon mango mead. Both had like 3-4 inch lees cake and much less than 1 gallon and on top of that they tasted "meh". Decided to rack and mix the two meads...After back sweetening with honey, the results were phenomenal!

@cheeweilee6187 Месяц назад

Normally goji is combined with Chinese red dates and dried longan. You should try to make a mead/wine with this tri-combo.

@TheInfinityzeN 5 месяцев назад

I see you used one of my favorite tricks. Adding dried fruit during secondary is one of the best ways I have ever found to punch up the fruity nature of any brew. Normally I will pasteurize before adding the dried fruit though going well past dry works as well. I have also been known to add a little fruit juice at the end. Normally I only do this for my brews that went overly high in ABV (my Pom wine tends to hit 15%+). In the Pom wine for example I add about 10 oz per gallon which gets it down to around 14% and really brings forward the flavor/smell of pomegranate. Thanks for the info about the Rumble Jar. Since I infuse a lot, it seems like it would be much easier than loose or other containers I have tried.

EC-1118 must just hate living in the low 60's. I don't like the temperature above 67°, and I can't afford to heat the apartment above 65, so I've made five different wines with the 1118, and none of them would clear without me pasteurizing and then cold crashing. Also everything took twice as long to ferment than my regular bread yeast. IDK... Maybe the cheap stuff just fits me better 😂😅 As always, thanks guys.

I bought a bottle of mead (the only one in shop) "Manuka & Multifloral" matured with French oak , and that is all. It is very sweet & even though I don't like honey I had a taste and wondered if it was possible to add some cloves, black peppercorns and what you could come up with to give it some kick, I always like the sound of your meads with the spices, could I try now that it is in the bottle which I did open to taste but such a small amount because of its sweetness, but I had to try before I could ever try to make any. The only time I like honey is with peanut butter, then it's yummy, you may think it a crime, but I just love the combination. Thanks again. Luv the sound of the Goji wine.

@CitySteadingBrews 5 месяцев назад

You could add spices, sure. Leave them whole and for a week to three or so.

Love the idea of using the Goji Berries~! We have bushes that we pick fresh goji every year. So to make this wine with fresh berries, we are thinking of freezing them first, would you agree, or should we dehydrate them like what you use???? I think the earthy flavors you depicted are very goji related, I sometimes can get a peppery flavor from them, love this new way to use them along with the other fruits we grow on our property.

@CitySteadingBrews 5 месяцев назад

As seen in the original video for it, you use a drill to drill a hole for the air lock and it's rubber grommet (sold separately). Go back in their vid uploads by a couple and they should have the air locks and grommets linked, but you'll need a drill with a big enough bit

@billbucktube 5 месяцев назад

To goji or not to goji? That is the question! Whether tis nobler to... Well I tried❗️

@dy1an 5 месяцев назад

Goji berries are one of those things that taste radically different for two groups of people. One finds that they taste how you described the smell, sweet-ish and citrusy, whereas the other group finds that they taste of soil. It's apparently genetic. Sadly I'm in the latter group. Could explain why you found a disconnect between the smell and taste at the first racking though.

@CitySteadingBrews 5 месяцев назад

As for the disconnect.... it sometimes happens with younger brews.

@jbird4976 5 месяцев назад

Hi All, Have been loving your videos. (Living in Australia so including metric measurements is always appreciated) I was wondering that if instead of adding the second batch of goji berries after the first rack you dry hopped with something like Citra and Galaxy hops to enhance the fruity flavours? There are so many crazy hop varieties out now. I know it's wine not beer but who said that hops were only for beer?

@CitySteadingBrews 5 месяцев назад

Hops doesn't just add some fruitiness (in fact it's not that much fruitiness compared to actual fruit), it is a bittering agent, and would DRASTICALLY change the flavor profile of this wine.

Hi, I have really enjoyed watching more recipies for wine rather than mead, honey in NZ is ridiculously hard to get and expensive, strange eh. I have collected bottles of ocean spray cranberry and pommegranite juice, have mentioned it before. I got the acidity of juice to 5 using the test paper, the S.G. of the juice is 1.050 (tastes gorgeous especially when I put some orange rind in it for a test). It has 28.3 sugars/250mls=169.8/1.5L you make it so easy working out the sugars to add but it is my first go, with the info. are you able to give me a clue if you have time.

Great video - I love Goji berries. I have a question unrelated to the video though and I need some help. I am not a new mead maker by any stretch, although I'm definitely not a professional. I've run out of my stock standard hydromel which I make with black tea and boiled baker's yeast so I decided to make some more. 10/11% ABV, nothing weird. However, after the primary fermentation, I tasted it and it was very sour. Like a sour beer sour, almost like it lacto fermented? I used a LalBrew BRY-97 West Coast American Ale yeast. I am unsure whether I accidentally oxidised it and made vinegar, or maybe it was somehow lacto fermented even without pitching any kind of lacto. I definitely didn't swish it around after pitching my yeast... as I'm typing this it might've had something to do with my sanitisation? I just have a spray bottle full of diluted star san I use, no TRBOS or anything. Any help or insight from the pros would be much appreciated, thank you in advance Brian and Derica!

@CitySteadingBrews 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like some type of infection. Could be some piece of kit had it on it and the infection simply grew. Now, it could be acetobactor which makes vinegar or it could be brettanomyces which is used to make sour beers and ciders. Either way, it's not actually harmful and many people love sours. One thing though... thoroughly sanitize anything that came in contact with that batch to help prevent future infections.

Good morning, another great video after watching your video I took a look around through all my stuff and found a 6 gallon fermenter and in my fermenter I am putting 1 pound of Goji berries for every gallon of water so there’s 5 gallons of water 5 pounds of Goji berries I’m also going with 5 pounds of sugar, the zest of five oranges, and if it turns out the way, I think it well which will be extremely on the strong side. I will increase the alcohol content with Everclear. It is an experiment I will keep you abreast on how it goes and if it turns out. If you have any other further instructions to help me out or to add to it, I would greatly appreciate it. Have a great day.

Heard of both, never tried either. We are realizing nutrients are overhyped much of the time. For a basic mead that is higher abv? Sure. A fruity wine in the 12-13% range? As we showed here... not as important.

Goji berries are unpalatable. But they look and smell delicious.

Dates wine? Dates are so sweet. Almost 666 gr sugar/kg. Weird number.

A cool experiment - turn a long form video into a less than 10 minute video. Then try a 5 minute video.

@CitySteadingBrews 5 месяцев назад

We tried. Sooo much good info gets left out.

if you look at the 10:35 mark...you can see you didn't have the lid all the way on...that's why it came out of the lid i would imagine....beneficial error i would say....off topic....i have brew that's been sitting on fruit(strawberries) for 67 days.....how long should fruit stay in initial fermentation?....

@CitySteadingBrews 5 месяцев назад

I see what you're saying, but it was on. Even if it was off slightly, after recording, we'd have noticed and fixed it. As for fruit, we leave it until first racking most of the time.
