Toasted coconut flakes would be a nice addition.
@Neo88Classical
@Neo88Classical Год назад
Instead of adding coconut water in conditioning and pasteurizing, which might mess with the other ratios you liked, why not get four of those coconut waters and boil them down to the volume of two, like you did with your concentrated apple brew? Concentrate the coconut but still add the same volume to the pineapple and honey!
@phoff5850
@phoff5850 Год назад
Now that's an idea. I was thinking (and apparently I wasn't alone based on the comments) of adding dried coconut flakes into a conditioning phase, but once I looked up the nutrition facts, there may be more of the fats that they were trying to avoid. Your plan of concentrating the water may just be the ticket.

Dried Coconut flakes would probably impart much more coconut flavor, without releasing the fats. Toasting the coconut flakes before hand, might be even better.

Believe me, it’s a rabbit hole that never ends… and that’s the fun of it. I’ve been making meads, wines and ciders for over 30 years, haven’t stopped learning and am still adding new recipes to the endless list of what I want to pop in my fermenters next. Even when repeating a recipe, tasting and balancing a brew is like Christmas morning all over. Not to mention the anticipatory thrill I get every time I open a bottle of a new batch I’ve allowed to age. It never loses its charm for me. I hope it’ll be the same for you. Happy brewing!

My 1 gallon Pina colada wine is almost done. I used frozen 100% pineapple juice concentrate 2 cans, distilled water, 0.54 pound of table sugar with some peptic enzyme. had plenty of head space and it foamed up thru the airlock for 2 days. It is very clear, no peptic haze. I used potassium sorbate to put the yeast to sleep. Going to back sweeten with 2 cans of frozen juice and add coconut extract to get enough coconut flavor.
@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews Год назад
If you're using sorbate, you need to add K-meta too or it's not going to reliably stop fermentation. We use neither, as pasteurization is simple, natural, and doesn't add more preservatives in our diet.
@Jamesim82
@Jamesim82 Год назад
​@@CitySteadingBrews: If I'm using a combination of potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulfite, should I use ½ of each the recommended amounts of them, or do I just use the recommended amount of both -- whatever is written on the packaging? Thanks, in advance. I'm just starting out and went way over-the-top (bought every ingredient imaginable, got a mead kit, am doing a few Welch's into wine fermentations atm, and will be trying a bunch of other things in the near future). I want to try making a bunch of different things following all different methods, and want to make sure I don't mess this form of preservation up -- but I'll definitely try pasteurization, as well.

I'll add an anecdotal vote of confidence for su vide pasteurization and its positive effects. It clears the protein haze wonderfully and I haven't noticed any off flavors. Like you mentioned if anything it mellows things a bit. I have heard that it may decrease the smell of meads but it didn't seem to effect this one! Maybe that 140 degree mark is magic!

Every time you pick up that paddle, I think, "Brian, do you not have a hacksaw?". LOL! Also, I have a tip for keeping fruit flies out of the S-airlocks. Place a little patch of coffee filter paper over the opening and force the cap down over it. Drives the little buggers crazy bc they can't get past it, but it doesn't interfere with the off gassing at all.
@spigette
@spigette Год назад
Yes! I do something similar.... I buy a pair of dollar store knee high nylons and cut a little piece off, dip in sanitizer, pull tight across the open airlock and re-cap. A pair lasts me at a year or two, and I never have fruitfly problems anymore 😊

Another great video, thank you. I've been pasteurizing everything since I had a bottle bomb, (one gallon, no fun). I also agree that pasteurizing does seem to "age" the recipe and I've found most of my fermentations taste great and the funky smells disappear the next day after cooling. I also backsweeten after the pasteurization. It seems to brighten up the mix a lot better 😁👍❤️

@eddavanleemputten9232 Год назад
I’d worry that desiccated coconut in any shape or form would still release coconut fats into the mead. Perhaps if you kept it at a temperature where the fats would be solid you might he able to keep the problem at bay… but flavour extraction would he slower. Mmmm… Extract at room temp, then cold crash and check for solids floating on top? Those would be coconut oil. I do know coconut oil is solid at fridge temp (even a little below room temp). It might work. Depends on how soluble it is in alcohol.

@craigbryant9925
@craigbryant9925 Год назад
You guys beat me to it again. I've been toying with this idea myself and just waiting for some ingredients to arrive. My current plan is to concentrate the coconut water and also use a higher ratio of coconut to pineapple because to me a Pina Colada is more about the coconut with a highlight of pineapple. Depending on how that comes out I may add some dry flaked coconut, basically rehydrate the flakes in boiling water to make sure I'm not transferring any nasties into my mead and to draw out some of the fats (I'm nervous about this part but sometimes you need to experiment). Once I'm happy with the level of coconut I'm going to finish it off with some lactose. That will both back sweeten it and give it a silkier mouth feel that I associate with coconut.
@RensOtteweyn
@RensOtteweyn Год назад
Last year I made a pineapple coconut mead using cut slices of pineapple and grinded dehydrated coconut. Fermentation was freaking quick, conditioning took ages or so it seemed and bit of a pain to clear it from all grinded coconut, but was worth it. It's a gem, really. In Dutch we have a saying when something tastes really really good: "alsof een engeltje over je tong piest" and that doesn't even do justice to how nice this tuff tastes. And after you swallow, the taste lingers..... Yummie. Btw, this is the important bit: the literal translation of the beforementioned saying doesn't go very well in English, I know and I'm sorry. It should mean something like coming close to an orgasm for all the tasty thingies on the tongue. Did I say the taste lingers after swallowing?

About back sweetening ... I still measure, but I also use my palette: With my cranberry orange I recently made, I took a 100mL sample, then added 10mL (10g) honey until I got my desired sweetness. Then, I calculated to figure out how much to add to the final product. I also stabilized after adding the honey to make sure fermentation doesn't kick back up.

Stoofpeertjes? That should make a nice brew. Pear is a very delicate flavour, you might not get a lot of it. But the other flavours should come through nicely. Due to the cinnamon it might be a bit of a slow fermenter. You might want to consider adding yeast nutrient and using a bit more yeast than the required minimum. Pectic enzyme might be a good idea too, because berries and pears contain pectin. I’d love to find out how it turns out if you don’t mind.

Hey guys I love your videos and I've been watching them a lot for the past week and I decided to make my own mead using your guy's beginning mead video with the rasins dried orange peels and 3 pounds of honey (instead of 48 oz of honey I accidentally put like 51 oz) but I used a wine yeast in it and I was expecting to see bubbling right away it's been about 24 hours and I'm not seeing any signs of fermenting am I being impatient or could the extra amount of honey or bad yeast be the problem?

Heating the brew, like when you pasteurize, should help de-gas it. Warm liquids can't hold gas like cold ones do. This is probably why it tastes better after pasteurization, a lot of the CO2 and SO2 and H2S are pushed out. I've been toying with the idea of heating my finished brews for the specific purpose of de-gassing. After seeing this, I might go ahead and try it.

would the solids in the juice and cocolut water change (lower) the available sugar for fermentation, giving an artificially high density reading on the hydrometer? May be something to be addressed in a video, I know you lightly fan across it in a prevoius video, but a really pulpy mix could run really dry really fast.
@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews Год назад
There’s no solids in the water and the juice was pretty much just juice too.

@@CitySteadingBrews I did a puree apricot wine plus a few jars of apricot jam for my woman a while back, the gravity reading was off the chart, figured the solids from both massively raised the density reading. Came out good, though.

No you cannot pasteurize with them. They are preservatives. I don’t use them so I have no idea how much you need.

The glycemic index doesn’t coincide with brewing since you ferment the sugars out :)

Nah. I have competed in so many things in my life, I don’t need a judge telling me my mead is good or not. Everyone has a bias and judges are supposed to try to eliminate that bias. In doing that, they also are looking for a specific thing, so creativity is diminished. I would much rather just enjoy what we make and enjoy teaching others :)

@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews Год назад
As long as you are willing to leave them. Aging is totally subjective as for time. 3 months will show an improvement. 6 months, even more. A year? Even more most likely. After 2 or 3 years generally you see very minimal improvement or even degradation.

I started a black cherry and apple cider 4 days ago adding 1 cup sugar, half a teaspoon yeast nutrient and pectic enzyme. SG 1.070. Within 24 hours it was foaming and the airlock going crazy. Good start, but by day 4, airlock has slowed to one bubble every 45 seconds. Cote des blanc yeast. Should I be concerned or take a reading or wait until it completely stops before taking a reading? Temp of room is 75 f. Any suggestions would help thanks

Fermenting starts out strong and slows as it cones near the end. There’s no rush, but take a reading if you want to.

You can use honey or sugar. We normally do it before pasteurizing because solids will settle out during pasteurization.

@City Steading Brews the part I was talking about is when you were adding the pineapple juice. Dump some into the fermenter then cap the manufacturer bottle and shake. Gets the gunk better and adds some O2. I know not to add oxygen after alcohol is present.

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад
Well…. No, we actually cannot! Lambic is specific to a region, kind of like how Chanpagne is. It’s a wild ferment and normally only comes out well due to the very careful nurturing of said wild yeast in a specific environment. That said… fruit added beer is something we CAN do. We have a few planned.
