Nice video, only thing when you gas up the keg the first time you want to bleed it off a few times to get rid of the oxygen that was left in the head space when you filled it. It will prevent any oxidation if you drink it quick no big deal

Nice one. Cant get yeast nutes in the country im in so I use boiled bread yeast in my seltzers. Just add it at the boil anywhere from x2-3 the amount you would use of fermaid o. Ferments fine for me even with a high nitrogen requirement yeast like kveik and cant get much cheaper.

Intriguing. Never thought of making wine from mixed berries. I did make dandelion wine once, with tangerines and whatever other citrus fruits were still hanging around from the holidays. No fancy equipment, just a stock pot on the dining room table for three days before straining. I would have liked to see your finished product here, and the steps along the way to get there. I guess you have a water-filled airlock, and monitor the frequency of gas bubbles to know when fermentation is ending? Then measure the specific gravity of the finished product...to estimate residual sugar? How do you determine final percentage of alcohol?
@CountryBrewster4 ай бұрын
Yes I use an airlock and watch the bubble activity. To get your finished ABV you take your starting gravity and your final gravity. I use an app called ABV calculator. You put in your starting and ending and it tells you the ABV. There is a way to do it with math. But math was never my strong suit.

Also now that I have gotten some videos up I’m going to be doing a couple long videos showing start to finish on some of my recipes. I am new to uploading videos and it’s been a learning curve. But I have gotten some great ideas from people who have been watching them.
@patriciamorgan65454 ай бұрын
@CountryBrewster Thanks for the replies. I watch a lot of cooking videos, and viewers want to see someone sampling/reviewing/hopefully enjoying the finished product (or not, if it didn't turn out as hoped). It adds to the experience when flavors, smells, and textures are described during the process. It helps the viewer taste vicariously through the host, and is also kind of a satisfying payoff for time spent engaged with the video. Good luck to you!

I've never seen this, it's a method of killing the yeast? I've only ever used potassium sorbet to kill the yeast and raking multiple times. What are the pros of doing it this way and the cons (if any).
@CountryBrewster5 ай бұрын
In this video I have already done one racking after I’m done with pasteurization I let it sit for about a week. Then I bottle it. Pros is it’s probably faster it’s cheaper than buying potassium sorbet. Cons I guess some might say it’s a little bit more work. I feel like it clears faster but that may just be a matter of preference.

That's pretty cool, like I said I've never seen this method so I might have to give it a try with this next round im making now. Does the whole bottle (I'm my xare carboy) have to be submerged or can only half be in the water? I may need to buy a bigger pot haha.

@@Jonathan12952You want the water to go to the neck of the carboy. I like to put tinfoil over the top to make sure nothing gets inside place a thermometer in through the tinfoil once the liquid inside the carboy reaches 140°. Let’s sit for 20 minutes typically you can turn off the stove at this point. Also make sure you don’t have a lot of head space in the carboy. After 20 min. Remove and let cool to room temp.
