Only tangentially related to this video...but, using Brian and Derica's methods, I've made a blueberry acerglyn (blueberry and maple syrup come from the same climate region, after all). I used all natural blueberry juice (like the Viking's blood with cherry juice), two lbs of clover honey, one lbs of Vermont maple syrup, and 71 beast. One month in primary and one month in secondary. After a taste (for science), it's already amazing...but it's gonna be incredible. Brian and Derica, thanks for the knowledge.

I started a batch of this 2 weeks ago. Four (18 oz) jars of Aldi strawberry preserves, a pound of frozen strawberries, and a gallon of water. I pitched half a packet of Red Star Cote des Blanc yeast. No sugar, it was about 20 brix without it. After a week, it smelled a lot more like fresh strawberries than it had any business smelling. :) I used a 1 gallon paint strainer bag to filter out the solids and poured it in a gallon jug and a 1/2 gallon growler with air locks. It's still bubbling a little but also starting to clear. Should be nice in a month or two. Next racking will be to a 3 liter jug and a growler with almost no headspace, and hopefully a little left over to drink. Can't really tell what the color will be yet, probably pink or rose but not red. Thanks again for the idea.

It goes to show you don't need clarifiers and that time is really the best clearer. I've only experienced the pectic haze from a mixed berry mead that made this past winter.

Ya'll are great! You've inspired me to make my first batch of mead. My wife and i made a three gallon batch that we've divided into three one gallon carboys. Its been going for close to 2 weeks so far. Two of them were a little slower to start fermentation but by the second day were going hard and have become nearly crystal clear. The third one started fermenting like a bat out of hell right out of the gate and has stayed really cloudy. I assume this is because I may have accidentally got more yeast in one. I'm excited to see where they end up when I check on them in a couple days. My plan is to combine the three asuming they are all in good shape. Hopefully that will dilute the foggy one enough to make the full batch more pleasing to the eye. Perhaps by combining them it might help the cloudiness of the one fall out in secondary. Its a thrilling experiment and we are great full to you both for turning us on to this new hobby and thank you for making everything feel so accessible.

@zxcvbob 3 года назад

I've used old brown (but still tastes okay) jars of homemade jelly mixed with apple juice, to make wine. One pint or half-pint jar to a gallon of juice and didn't even take a gravity reading. The pectin and all the brown settles out. You don't want to use pectic enzyme with jam or jelly because you'll end up with more methanol in your wine that way. It still won't be enough methanol to be dangerous, but it's something you want to minimize. I'm curious why you didn't add any yeast nutrient? That might have gotten rid of the "footy" odor. I'm headed to Aldi now to get some big jars of strawberry jam or preserves to try this. Thanks!

Jam often has added pectin to jell up nicely, which the yeast will turn it into methanol. Not really a problem in low concentrations, but still.

When you are removing from the primary like the beginning do you need to worry about oxidizing it and it becomes vinegar? So pouring through a siv would oxidize the mix imo.. is that ok at this stage?

@CitySteadingBrews 3 года назад

We mention this all the time. Oxidizing is never a good thing really. You can easily oxidize by pouring through a sieve. However, if there is still active fermentation it is much less risky as there is CO2 being produced. It's a calculated risk and a judgement call.

Ok.. have a question on sugars . I found some flavored gourmet syrup for teas, sodas, or other drinks. This is a wildberry syrup. As long as I figure the sugar content of the syrup compared to white sugar, and seeing how you have used most everything under the sun to make wine with, would this not work as a replacement for white sugar? Since this has a good flavor as is, I am wanting to use it with juice and hopefully get more flavor, and maybe by itself as an experiment.

A friend of mine has donated bottles to my Meade dream, he wants me to make strawberry meade. You both are my teachers in this sphere, want recipe would you recommend for one gal? Was thinking of using raw strawberries rather than jam (sugar/honey issue ?). I hope you don't mind my asking and no disrespect is meant by my asking, I just don't know enough yet to trust my winging it. J

My first time viewing your videos. Where can I learn to make this strawberry wine?

Wouldn't a piece of cheesecloth on the siphon help to stop it from getting clogged?

dear Brian and Derica, I am currently on a brew i plan on giving out to friends for christmas and am planning ahead. I would like to make the bottles older and rustic looking so i was thinking of using a cork instead of a swing top. is their anything i need to do before doing so, so that the bottle doesn't explode if the people don't drink it for a while?

Treat it the same as you would any other bottle. Make sure it's finished and stable. Sanitize those corks.
