How to make an Acai Mead. While a pretty simple recipe, the ingredients weren't that easy to get. Acai berries come from a type of palm tree... I did not know that. This mead had some.... sketch, along the way. How did it end up?
Ingredients:
28 oz (800 grams) Acai Berry Smoothie Pack (We used Pitaya Foods Smoothie Packs)
1/4 teaspoon Wine Tannin: amzn.to/42L9fYC
1/2 teaspoon Pectic Enzyme: amzn.to/3BqCap6
1 package Red Star Premier Classique: amzn.to/3BmD2eM
3 lbs (1.36 kg) Wild Flower Honey: amzn.to/3I6o67Y
2.5 grams Fermaid O: amzn.to/44Z5Yqv
96 oz (2.839 Liters) Water
Additions:
Back sweeten with Honey (We went to 1.030)

I was looking at Achacha - A highly prized fruit from the Amazon basin. Reputed to have a unique taste that has a balance of sweetness and acidity. Sounds like a possible nice wine.

You could make the removal of the purée easier by leaving it frozen and putting it into a pitcher, then letting it melt. Of course, that would require an extra few hours.

Unrelated to this video but I thought you might be interested; I just finished up a 3 gallon brew using your Sangria recipe. I didn't think I was going to like it at first but after it settled it became really good. I modified it slightly by adding about 3/4 of a cup of dried apricots I had left over from another project but other than that it was your recipe. I think I will be doing that one again. Thanks Derica and Brian for all I've learned from y'all.

@gregkeeganbushbuildsandhac9306 Год назад

You can take back sweetness if you make it to sweet. It is with tas and other things that can be added after it is finished. I had a basic mead that was over the top sweet and that is saying something for me. I Had a heap of organic camomile teabags that I added to it that brought the sweetness right down and has made it really palletable now. Other things that can be used is nettles as they are a bitter herb and will work and, not that i have added it yet but will do for a flavor profile, is rosehip. I'm lucky in the fact that rosehip grows wild in abundance just up the road so am going to get some to add. :)

I will probably have to do something similar when I do the first racking of the corn mead I made a week ago. Was going for a poppycock snake inspired mead using mostly wildflower honey and some almond honey. Made a.stock from five corn cobs with the juice of one lemon and a few Myrtle sweet leaves. The wort roasted the corn kernels in the oven, popped a cup worth of popping corn, and used magnum hops at the end of boil. Just made a acerglyn version of your lapsang souchhong tea mead yesterday. The fermation started up pretty active for the maple mead and I had to change the airlock with a blow off tube with a plastic bottle with water with some Starsand in it. The first gravity reading was 1.120 and more confident in this mead than my first one.

Wow that’s awesome! A new 10 for the list

@eddavanleemputten9232 Год назад

I did some checking and açai berries are actually used to make açai oil (well, the seeds) and it’s possible enough of those seeds were in the pulp to create that oil slick. The oil is said to be green. I found sources for cosmetics and for consumption. Despite the adventure this one was, it seems to me this mead really was a succes! Wow! A 9.5 and a 10! It’s a pity I haven’t seen açai berry pulp sold where I live. I found some mixed in with other fruit but not on their own. Question: I’ve made your spiced metheglin three times now (because it’s wonderful!). I re-watched your videos on it and yours is always clear. Each time I used a different honey and each time mine remained very hazy. When making another mead with the same honeys, those came out clear. I’ve used whole spices and last time I even rinsed them to be certain nothing would be sticking to them. It’s the weirdest thing. Any ideas on what might be going on? My current batch has finished fermentation in January. It’s still hazy as heck.

I’m a dog person myself but in your case I’ll accept cats as kids. This time… I recently put some whole garlic cloves, sliced jalapeños, and fresh rosemary from my yard in some olive oil in a jar. When I checked it out to smell it yesterday it popped when I loosened the cap and I saw a lot of bubbles rising through the stuff in the oil. I didn’t know fermentation could start in oil. But at this point it smells really good.

According to Google, this berry's oil happens to be very healthy and is used in cosmetic applications. Im thinking of using a floating sanitized circle ( or two ) of cheesecloth to pick them up, pre racking.

@Nudgeworth 6 месяцев назад

I know a possible way to remove the oil from inside the primary fermentator. When I learnt french style cookery, we were taught to remove difficult to remove oil from the surface of soup stock with long strips of paper. The oil clings the to surface of the paper all along its length. You then throw it away, and use a fresh strip. At home I normally use paper towels to do this. Of course, the paper would need to be sanitised somehow...

Unless it’s a huge barrel, I wouldn’t. They do that with 50+ gallon barrels due to surface to barrel contact being lower so they have to leave it longer. With 1 gallon you just don’t need or want that much extraction.

I'm sorry, I have a question not really related to this video: I'm making a blueberry mead currently and it stopped fermentation about a month ago. It became clear and all, I tasted it and it tasted quite ready, wine strong. I gave up on gravity readings since I had problems with it from the get go (my wine thief doesn't fit in the jug and I had to pour some unfinished mead out to add more honey). After test tasting it and leaving it be for a couple weeks with some oak chips, it started fermentation again! Could it be that it just stalled somewhere in the 10-14 ABV range and now the oak chips added some nutrients or something and now it will give out a percent or two? I used Lalvin 71B for yeast so in theory it shouldn't go much higher than 14.

@paavoilves5416 Год назад

I had put 2l of honey in it (but in reality it's a bit less because I added it in two parts and was an idiot and didn't originally leave enough room for the second addition of it...) and it was semi-sweet, almost sweet, according to the standards video.

There are several strains of it isolated on the US market, and most of it appears to ferment VERY fast, at higher temperatures without off flavors. I was wondering if ya'll had considered doing something with some of the Kviek yeast strains? I hear it is also quite ABV tolerant...at least most strains...so, maybe would work good for mead? I've seen hints there and there good for mead and cider, but not much out there on it. The kviek yeast also apparently cleans up well after itself quickly...so, wondering if it would make for a more "mature" mead in record time, without having to actually wait year or so?

I checked on Norther Brewers for the dry stuff...it was about $6.99...the other dry yeasts were about $4.99-$5.99. So, it's a little more that's true, I honestly hadn't noticed. But one thing I've been looking at is...the RE-use of the stuff. Apparently it is very easy to either harvest...or just dump more fermentable liquids right on top and off it goes again. Apparently a little goes a LONG way with Kviek yeasts....I'd seen one YT brewer that basically buys his preferred strain of Kviek once a year and reuses/harvests it all year. And only buys a mother after a year to prevent possible mutations. So, I dunno...if you approached it that way, it actually becomes very economical. Again, I've not tried it yet myself...but that aspect of it fascinated me and I plan to explore it. Anyway, just tossing ideas out there...ya'll have a great day. (PS is it as hot there as it is now here in New Orleans...whew!!)

I'm sure you've been asked this before, but i couldnt find the info on your website What is the jar you are using in this video for primary fermentation?

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

It's the Little Big Mouth Bubbler and it's linked in the description of this video.

Off topic of this video. But I'm trying to make a fizzy one. I know you guys got a video but I can't find it. Is there any chance that you can link it in a video, comment back on this comment or refresh and do a video about it. I know you've grown and learned more.😊

Have you tested whether Aspartame raises gravity readings. I like to make wines from all kinds of cheap juice type products. Like, Splash Berry Blend, it contains aspartame and the brew ended at 1.030. I am hoping the high ending gravity is because of the aspartame and it wasn't stalled. I added 16fl oz of vodka so I shouldn't have any bottle bombs and I really like the taste. Thank you!

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

If it dissolved in the liquid then it adds to the sg. How much is the question.

@tattoolimbo Год назад

@@CitySteadingBrews it doesn't give an amount it just lists it in the ingredients. Thank you.

If you have not made elderberry yet, the oils will be present in that as well if pureed, or too much stem-age.

A little trivia: açaí heart of palm is very bitter. I do not recommend. Here in Brazil, the most common, with a more neutral flavor is the heart of palm of pupunha. But the açaí fruit is very good. I need to do this now!

Question: Is there anything you can ferment that may be non-toxic going in but would be toxic or somewhat toxic coming out due to some weird chemical reaction involving the alcohol?

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

Nothing I know of.

@peachysrcandgames5824 Год назад

What would be the best recommendation for racking with alot of solids? mine looks like this (minus the oils) there is fruit solids on top and bottom in a 5 gallon big mouth bubbler its 8" of sediment on bottom and 2" of floating goop on top I have a racking wand with the cap but the fruit solids plug the cap

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

Rack from the middle and just try to avoid the solids and oils.

@Qualiall1 Год назад

hey fam! You or someone else may know the answer-but is there like a definitive list on which ingredients to avoid when picking out a commercial juice? I have a juice I'd like to try in one but the last ingredient is ascorbic acid. Is that going to win against a lot of yeast or will the yeast win that battle? Have any of you tried with that or any -ates or -ites additives? I would think that manufactures are worried more about stopping a few floating air yeasts and not anticipating a whole packet being dumped in and it would be fine. Or maybe not?

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

Preservatives. They can stop or stall yeast but yeast are alive and sometimes can overcome it. But… it could stress them anyway and cause off flavors.

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

Ascorbic acid may just need aging to help. Most times it’s not even noticable.

@scroungemastergeneral2015 Год назад

A suggestion for your "Don't Make Bottle Bombs" speech: Once your must is made, and right before you Let It Sit, weigh the full container. Add that to your notes. Once it is ready for First Open And Measurement, weigh it again. It should be lighter, because CO2 has escaped. How much CO2 was made? At one atmosphere of pressure, each 10 grams of CO2 takes up about 1.5 gallons. Now you can estimate your volume of air space available, and how much CO2 would have been in that tiny space if you hadn't let it out. And what pressure your sealed container would have had. Ten gallons of CO2 in ten ounces of space in a glass container is never a good idea.

Can you use a coffee filter folded into a point to just touch the oil spots to wick out? Or is there a contamination potential using a coffee filter?

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

I suppose you could but racking worked just fine.

@johnleyshon2581 8 месяцев назад

One time you mentioned using a SodaStream to carbonate a wine, but that it was a disaster. Can you elaborate on that please?

@CitySteadingBrews 8 месяцев назад

I never have. We don't own one. Others have told me that though.
