That's right WINE from COKE! We made a Cherry Coke Wine and carbonated it in a mini keg. There's a few issues with fermenting cola, or soda, or Coke, since... they like to add a LOT of weird things to these beverages! Acids, preservatives, yeah, not great for fermenting into wine. So... we had to find a way around that.
Ingredients:
72 oz (2.129 liters) Mexican Coke: amzn.to/3SXOves
1 pkg Premier Blanc Yeast: amzn.to/3GhujNa
64 oz (1.89 liters) Black Cherry Juice: amzn.to/47Bib5W
10 grams Fermaid O: amzn.to/47KgEup
1 lb (.45 kg) Sugar
Additions:
Back Sweeten with Sugar to Specific Gravity of 1.030 (or your preference)
Racking: • Racking Homemade Mead,...
Pasteurization: • Easiest Way to Pasteur...

@VoidDWG they can't. They live in the US. (Florida) it is illegal to distill the home (or anywhere if u don't have the proper paperwork/permits/and has all been double and triple checked by the ABC) so unfortunately they can't distil anything.

And this is why I love you two as YT brewers. You are honest about your brews and report on your successes to the same degree as your failures. As Binging with Babish said earlier today: There's one thing that also wouldn't be there without failures, and that is successes. "May the best of your today be the worst of your tomorrow!"

@joshs-ho6nn 10 месяцев назад

You guys were very concerned about the phosphoric acid, but once you fix the pH it's just mineral phosphate which is a great yeast nutrient (basically the same stuff as Fermaid-K without the potassium) which is probably part of the reason the fermentation went so well. Also, not to get into too much chemistry, but mixing things at different pH doesn't come to the average, it depends on the buffering capacity of each component (which depends on the concentration and type of acid and base in each). What you did was perfect though, since its really hard to predict buffer capacity, best to just mix them, measure the pH and then adjust if necessary.

@cgrijs 10 месяцев назад

Tip for preventing the clumping of your yeast: sprinkle it evenly across the surface and let it hydrate undisturbed for a couple of minutes before stirring.

@sunnyvoid7206 10 месяцев назад

You said "we need a pound of sugar" then it cuts to you saying "everything we use here has been sanitized in" "the red bucket of sanitization" which makes me picture you sanitizing a pound of sugar in TRBOS then i think of this cute but sad video of a racoon washing cotton candy in a creek. When has lead me to wonder have any of your viewer tried washing their sugar in their sanitizer water.

@Deedledo 10 месяцев назад

I just wanted to say thank you for all the information you give us. I've wanted to brew for a long time, but i was always intimidated by people overcomplicating things. Your guys' approach is simple/effective, and you always explain why something is the way it is, instead of just saying to do something and we not understand why we are even doing it. I have now done a traditional mead (still offgasing, came out around 12%) An apple cider (aged on amburana for 3 weeks) and omg, it came out sooooo good. I backsweetened with 1 cup of belgian candied sugar and 1/2 cup maple syrup. (After stabilizing) came out tasting like a nice apple pie (which is exactly what i wanted.) Cool thing, is you can push it more towarda an apple french toast if u use a bit more maple syrup in relation to the b.c.s. Also, have a cherry mead in secondary, and a Moscato that i juat bottled. Today im starting a peaches and cream mead, and a concord wine. Sorry for the novel, juat wanted to let you guys know that yall are awesome, and i appreciate you. ❤ (Edited for spelling/grammar)

Party at Deedledo's house!

@Deedledo 10 месяцев назад

@julietardos5044 sounds good to me, might need some help to finish all this brew. (A lot of it is already claimed/or has plans.) I want to give out some of the cider so people can try it. But it's soo good. I just want to keep it all for myself!!!! However, I won't. About half of it will be gifted to friends and family. I wrote down the recipe, and what I did on what day. So I should (theoretically) be able to recreate. 😁

@Deedledo 10 месяцев назад

I let the amburana sit for about 2 weeks.after primary was complete. (Added on 11/11, bottled on 11/25) weird thing, is I haven't drank in like 10 years. But I've wanted to brew for a while. So, recreating things i enjoy might be difficult. (I actually bought a store bought mead to make sure I was on the right track......mine was 10xs better. And it was still offgassing/really young) I didn't follow any particular recipes, but I did do some research as to what some normalized amounts and lengths of time. I more or less had a few ideas, and I researched and took it from there. I gained the most knowledge/technique from Brian and derrica. I watched some videos multiple times so I could understand what they were doing and why. It's one thing to tell someone what to do, but if you explain why they should do that particular thing, it helps us understand and make our own decisions whether or not that option is for us. (Or maybe it's not an option at all (like stabilizing/pasturizing before backsweetening with fermentable sugars)

@Deedledo 10 месяцев назад

Lol. Nah, that would be a cool story and all. But my username comes from a childhood nickname. Thank you so much for all the pointers/advice. At this stage, I'm like a sponge. I'm trying to soak up all the info I can. And yes, I have 2 cases of "keep" bottles. And I have a bunch of rrr bottles I plan on gifting people. Only people who will get my "keep" bottles will be close frens and family. A big thing I try to keep in my head while brewing/tinkering with things is something I heard Brian say......things want to brew themselves, just get out of the way. I've tried to kind of make thay my motto (sometimes it's hard to not tinker with things, i did find out it's good to have multiple things going that will need different things at different times. Or one thing might need an addition in secondary while you have something in primary. Thay helped to "get out of the way" so to speak.

@WorldofKlown 10 месяцев назад

Long time listener first time caller... Thank you guys for great content its been very informative and fun. I've grabbed your "scorecard" and have just started working on your top ~10 rated brews. I've been looking into carbonation myself, planning on using a simple gas measuring system(gas displacement of measured volumes) for determining natural carbonation levels with more surety than "is the plastic bottle stiff?". You can easily calculate how much co2 is needed for the brew using a carbonation chart. The general rule of thumb is the brew should have between 1.5 - 4 volumes of co2 in it. ie a 1 liter brew has between 1.5-4 liters of gas in it. As if it being carbonated from the tap wasn't proof enough that the 16g CO2 is enough to put it solid in the beer carbonation range, mathed proofs follows to back the point. 16g co2 cartridge + 1gallon keg for pressurizing in; 16g/3.78l = 4.23g/l (CO2/liter of brew) 1 liter of co2 gas at 20c and 1 atmosphere weighs ~1.8g. 4.23g/1.8 = 2.35:1 (assuming 100% of the gas dissolves which is unreasonable considering the headspace and pressure) Using the typical natural carbonation measurements of 28g priming sugar to a gallon(3.78l); 2.06g of sugar produce 1g of CO2 28g/2.06=13.59g co2 1 liter of co2 gas at 20c and 1 atmosphere weighs ~1.8g. 13.59g/1.8 = 7.55 liters of CO2 7.55 liters gas/3.78l liquid = 1.99:1(assuming 100% conversion)

I am working on a VooDew Mt. DEW right now. It has been fermenting almost 2 months now. And I actually had to add honey to raise the sugar level before pitching. It started at 1.05 then added the honey to bring it to 1.092. The day before Thanksgiving i check it and it is at 1.010. It was very sharp tasting but not to bad. Recipe: 1 and 1 half pounds of wildflower honey. 9 and 1 half cans of voodew Mt. Dew Redstar premium carte blanch yeast 1 tsp of DAP yeast nutrient when pitched .

It's funny, when I saw your IBC root beer video posted, I specifically avoided it. Because I had just started a Coca-Cola Brew and didn't want my outcome spoiled. I did not use Mexican Coke because I could not find it I used regular Coke. And it worked, after a fashion. I got a much lower ABV of about five percent, but I was brewing straight Coca-Cola with just the tiniest bit of sugar added to get it above a 1.5 OG. And it did stall. At that point, I figured I needed to try again with Mexican Coke, and fermaidO. Once I do if I'm happy with the results, I'll share the recipe/results.

Just a thought. Thanks!

@jedidiahvette3924 10 месяцев назад

I have a recommendation for a franken-brew. You can buy arnold palmer concentrate. I made a batch one time and didn’t refrigerate and it started fermenting on its own. I was thinking about trying to make some hard arnold palmer for myself but wasn’t sure how it would taste. And when tasting ph levels the lower the number the higher acidity level. That coke had a higher acidity than the juice.

I found real sugar mountain dew so I decided to try it after your root beer video. I didn't make it a mead though just mountain dew and sugar. I added enough sugar to bring it up to an OG of 1.09 and used Kviek yeast and some yeast nutrient. It was in primary ferment for 2 weeks and only went down 2 points, I wish I would have degassed during this time period but didn't. We went ahead and degassed it and added some wine yeast. Here is hoping this set of yeast chews through more of that sugar.

Excellent video guys. I think if you had not forced carbonated the brew, you would have given it a much higher rating and it would have been much more enjoyable. Carbonation does change the flavor. But you did remind me what the difference between modern day Coke and a Mexican Coke is and I'm now wanting to get a Mexican Coke the next time we go to the local Mexican restaurant.

It tastes like medicine. 😐 I wanted to rebottle it in the coke bottles and let it naturally carbonate,but it was stalled. It is pretty rough tasting though. I'll let it sit for a year and taste it later. I only did 3 bottles and back sweetened it with burnt sugar and a reduced coke.

I took a Muntons 3.3lb can of amber and cimbined it with 1 and a half gallons of apple juice to create my "Winey Beer!" It started at 1.090 and ended at 1.012ish. But the smell as I bottled it was so fantastic that I had to have one right then. Not as much kick as I wanted but dang the flavor was as good as the smell.

If you liked it before carbonating, but really don't now, I wonder how much of that is due to the bitterness that CO2 tends to impart. Would it being oversweet before carbonating help?

I wonder if you added more sugar and lowered the ph to 3.2 you would get a better flavor. Also increased the coke to cherry juice ratio. Another solution may be to go with cherry juice as a primary fermentation and add the coke as a secondary

Maybe an easier way is to pour some cherry coke into a glass. Add your requisite rum. Add ice. Swirl. Drink. I like a cherry coke with a meal. I find it goes awesome with a very hot (habanaro sauce) pulled pork burrito. In fact, I have this combo once a month or so. Thinking on it... I'm overdue... I think the fermentation broke the coca-cola. I expect there's a fermentable malt that needs to be there to make coke .... coke.

all this talk at 35:00 makes me want to see you guys make brews that WOULD fail. and document the results. i think it would be a great (and thanks to your entertaining commentary) funny way to learn what things work and what things dont. Anyways, love your videos guys! ive had a lot of success with my brews at home thanks to your videos. Dont ever stop! :)

I recently racked my first mead. There were a few times that air got in the line and caused bubbles, which concerned me. I think it was because I tried too hard to avoid sucking up lees. Should I be concerned? I need to watch your racking video haha.

@CitySteadingBrews 10 месяцев назад

Probably nothing to worry about.

Ahh cherry cola.... I met a girl in a bar in Soho and we drank Champaign that tasted like cherry cola. Her name was Lola...good times.

i literally though about a coke brew just a day ago

@anthonysiletti4378 9 месяцев назад

on your monster brews I would like to recommend you do a "Cactus Cooler" wine. it is a Orange/pineapple soda.

@CitySteadingBrews 9 месяцев назад

Wouldn't it be better to just make an orange pineapple wine or mead?

@Modra_Uncy 10 месяцев назад

so if i could give any tips i would say before that last rack into the keg put it in the fridge for a couple of days it will help to settle everything and let you put CO2 into the keg straight away

@CitySteadingBrews 10 месяцев назад

It was already settled, cold crashing isn't always necessary :)

@Modra_Uncy 10 месяцев назад

@@CitySteadingBrews true but you had to wait to carb the keg :P

@CitySteadingBrews 10 месяцев назад

I put it in the fridge. Same thing really, I guess.

Crazy story: The H-E-B has 12 oz and 16.9 oz versions of Mexican coke but only the 12 oz version doesn’t have preservatives.

Another great video Derica and Brian! I love how you guys use a variety of yeasts...do you have a list of the yeasts you've used for each brew? Is there a handy guide for which yeasts are best to use for certain brews? Thanks!

@CitySteadingBrews 10 месяцев назад

We don't have anything like that at this time.

If I send you some swedish sodas, would you try to make wine out of them? Julmust is in season atm, which originally/historically is a fermented juniper beverage. Or maybe you can find Julmust from a swedish shop over at your place, If possible I would recommend trying both modern julmust and the more historically accurate juniper drink (Enbärsdricka).

@CitySteadingBrews 10 месяцев назад

Perhaps? I don't think we can get that here at all.

Adding the CO2 to carbonate lowers the PH of the brew. This can effect the flavor a lot, an example is when people carbonate milk and you see how grossed out they are. So while you enjoyed it before carbonating, you probably dropped it to a ph level of 4.

@CitySteadingBrews 10 месяцев назад

That is possible.

I've ended up stealing my wife's red wine aerator. Throw it in my sanitizer bucket and then pour all the juice through it into the fermenter. Works great!

@blahsaysme2u 10 месяцев назад

Just wondering- it sounds like the main issue was the fermentation of the coke made a strange taste- what if you did the cherry wine and back sweetened with flat coke(and maybe some sugar)? Then recarbonated? Do you think that would be strange or worse reslult? From a Cherry coke fan!

@CitySteadingBrews 10 месяцев назад

Not sure really. These are just one off frankenbrews :)
