Making Mango Wine: 1 Gallon

[@NezumiWorks]

Another great recipe. Living in Canada we're not exactly mango country, but it's great to see people doing things with all sorts of fruit.

[@DIYFermentation]

Glad that you like them.

[@kelepiv4349]

Alright, now is this before or after my mouth gets watery and decides to eat all the mangoes😂

[@DIYFermentation]

Almost time for the 6-month review.

[@konfliktingfrequencies6355]

Hahaha ya I don't think I could do this without eating the mangoes. Unles I bought double maybe hahah

[@gold-in-melanin7488]

Exactly!😂😂😂😂

[@Chuxx1000]

💯

[@howwitty]

Thanks, that was a helpful reference proportion of sugar to nectar. I wish my kit had a hydrometer!😂

[@michaelmcgraw4888]

This looks delicious! You’ve got to manually focus your camera for stationary shots, auto focus was going crazy😂. Also almost all cameras have a minimal focus distance so it can not focus on something that is closer than 12” or so to the camera lens.

[@LiliansGardens]

Lovely jubbly. I always wanted to do something with all the spare mangoes on our trees. Subbed

Thank you for subscribing.

@Princess Lillian's Garden Where r u growing Mango 🌳 trees at?

[@kiennguyentrung8396]

Why you used chopped raisin ? How have any problem if without raisin?

[@DIYFermentation]

Raisins (optional) add flavor and body to the wine, and a tiny bit of nutrients.

[@nono-cw6ck]

How do you store the wine that you have already made? Can they all be stored in the same conditions? Is there any ‘maintenance required while they are maturing?

[@DIYFermentation]

During secondary fermentation they all end up in a closet until it's either time to rack them again, or until they become clear and are ready to be bottled. Once bottled they end up in a storage ottoman to finish aging. The only wine that will require a different technique is a rice wine i'm planning to make.

[@noahkagan]

Thanks for making the video :)

[@DIYFermentation]

You're welcome.

[@RealJimmyRussell]

Thanks for the video Charles; really enjoying the content and recipes.

[@DIYFermentation]

Glad you like them!

[@blasianfam4066]

Did u use a normal sugar that we use in the kitchen? I mean i saw another video, and he was using a brewing sugar..

[@DIYFermentation]

I use regular sugar bought at the grocery store.

[@leifbengtsson9482]

looking good friend

[@DIYFermentation]

Thanks for the visit

[@yaassoodelishkitchen7798]

Wow this is amazing, I love mangoes and I will definitely try it out on my channel possibly with 🇬🇭twists 😆will come back and let you know how it went👍🏾😆

[@DIYFermentation]

The mango flavor was rather light. I would suggest using at least 4 pounds of fruit. Good luck on your new channel.

[@robertcasto4953]

Ok I made a bath of mango wine it took about month to go through primary fermentation. I racked it to conditioning to allow it to clear but figured I would take a taste and there was not a lot of flavor. Is mango wine one that flavor enhances with back sweetening? I started with a 1100 specific gravity and it wenT to a 998 when I racked it so it’s dry.

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you for your comment.

[@glenthebartender9427]

Wow thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I hope you read this comment coz i wanna make a mango wine at home too. Im planning on making a 10liters of it. I wonder how much mango would you recommend

[@DIYFermentation]

The general rule of thumb for fruit wines is between 3 - 5 pounds (1.361 - 2.268 kilograms) of fruit per gallon (4 liters).

[@glenthebartender9427]

@@DIYFermentation wow im so happy for the fast reply! 👍👍 I will note that thank you soooo much

[@daniellewis1318]

charles can i ask how are you getting a full gallon from this when you have to rack the finish product which have a level of lees on the bottom to rack off and leave the gallon short i found i had to use at least two more cups of water to make up for that lees lost

[@DIYFermentation]

Make an extra cup at the start, freeze it, thaw to top of during rackings.

[@bassraja1978]

Will it work with lots of mango peels and seed instead of the fruit? If the peels and seed have a little fruit stuck to them?

[@DIYFermentation]

Sorry, I cannot offer advice beyond the ingredients, and method described within the video.

[@charlesfoleysr6610]

Why don't you bloom the yeast before adding? Just curious?

[@DIYFermentation]

Not necessary.

[@illomens2766]

Oh another question: do I mash up the lemon and put it in there just like the mango or do I only need the juice?

[@DIYFermentation]

You only need the lemon juice.

Hey, just a small question if you don't mind: what kinda tea did you use? Or does it not matter?

[@DIYFermentation]

Just a regular Lipton black teabag, or any black tea.

[@illomens2766]

@@DIYFermentation thank you very much, appreciate the quick answer. gonna be making this mango wine as soon as my equipment arrives, first time :)

[@Iloveyou-lz7rr]

Ever tried coconut wine with mature coconut? I got some coconuts thinking doing it.

[@DIYFermentation]

Nope. this was the closest to that that I have done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmPQqqKrqsetY5I

[@Iloveyou-lz7rr]

@@DIYFermentation Ok thanks alot

[@yawahviskinda3038]

Why was the tea bag put in?

[@DIYFermentation]

The black tea is a substitute for tannin.

[@jaegu9672]

hello! is there any alternative measurement? I don’t need to make a gallon. I only need like just a bottle for my school project. I don’t know what measurement should I use if I will only make a bottle. Thank you!

[@DIYFermentation]

Sorry, but measurement scaling is not covered on this channel.

[@sparklysparks77]

Everything multiplied by 0.25 should render a bit more than 1 bottle.

[@chefyasharala1587]

Definitely, interesting. I'm taking it up as a new hobby of mine but want to use a more classic version. Like how our greater grandparents created. I've learned to substitute yeast for grapes but any other tips would help.

[@DIYFermentation]

It can become an addictive (fun) hobby, Just remember, sanitization is key. I try to make this channel as natural as possible, but I always suggest using Star Sans or some other method of sanitized tools.

[@1954rafaeld]

Greetings. You did not use an air trap in this fermentation. Why?

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you for watching. That particular fermenter has a built-in airlock which is the rec button you see on the top of the fermenter. In subsequent videos I've changed the format to include that feature. I have now added that omission to the description section.

[@1954rafaeld]

@@DIYFermentation Thanks for your reply. Very thankful.

[@yawahviskinda3038]

Why was the raisin added

[@DIYFermentation]

The raisins help to provide a body to the final wine.

[@zairy1519]

What kind of mesh bags did you use?

[@DIYFermentation]

Paint straining bags. Very inexpensive, and very durable.

[@delroynestawilliams5247]

can you leave the skin? it is edible so i am wondering

[@DIYFermentation]

Sorry, that is not something that I have tried.

[@ArghRawrWhoa]

Nice

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you.

[@H4mst3r.]

Why did you put the mango into hot water and let it cool down? To kill any bad bacteria? Thanks

[@DIYFermentation]

To kill off any wild yeast, and to some degree the bacteria.

[@susangoddard9257]

Can I use over ripe mangos?

[@DIYFermentation]

I don't know. I haven't tried.

[@ΑρηςΚατι]

I ain't got that gravity thing..what can I do?

[@DIYFermentation]

You can either purchase one off Amazon: Hydrometer: amzn.to/3l2XbMS or else don't worry about it.

[@ΑρηςΚατι]

@@DIYFermentation thank's G

[@citlalimemije5641]

Does it have to be a certain tea bag ?

[@DIYFermentation]

No, any black tea will do.

[@vedashreejoshi1809]

Can we use normal bread yeast instead of wine yeast?

[@DIYFermentation]

Yes, but bread yeast in not designed to tolerate higher alcohol levels, and the wine will have a slightly yeasty taste. Other than that bread yeast will work. Wine yeast does not cost that much more than bread yeast (unless you living in a country that does not allow the purchase of wine yeast).

[@vedashreejoshi1809]

@@DIYFermentation Thanks for replying. I live in India and it is not easily accessible here. Not available online as well.

[@capttitanic8136]

Could we make it with an unriped ones? I have too many mangoe 🤣 should I wait until it ripe?

[@DIYFermentation]

You should use ripe ones. They are sweeter and will add more flavor. Check the updated ingredients list for a change in the amount of lemon juice used.

[@kthleenanana]

can I drink this after 2 weeks?

[@DIYFermentation]

IT is not recommended: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXXYn3h9ZrJ7kMk

[@kaloutiesingh8061]

You could peel the mango first then cut up.

[@DIYFermentation]

That's a good idea.

[@cameoellis1363]

What about a peach mango wine?

[@DIYFermentation]

Perhaps sometime in the future.

Lots of mango here

You make me laugh with this shoe string budget theory lol , sounds like something my dad would say

[@DIYFermentation]

When I started this channel I was on a fixed income paying for everything out of pocket. Many of my viewers can understand that, which is why I do things as cheaply as possible for others.

[@_LocalGhost_]

@@DIYFermentation I'm thinking of getting into brewing/winemaking and I really appreciate it! I'm poor and disabled so it helps a lot.

If I did know so much sugar go in to alcohol I would not drink so much on my life that why people who drink have big belly insulin resistance good think I dont drink any more for know yes for know it good to give thing break in life

[@DIYFermentation]

Alcohol in moderation.

[@tbobtbob330]

I drink it when the fermentation slows to a crawl - 2 weeks max. I have no idea why anyone cares if it's clear. Seems silly.

[@DIYFermentation]

There no argument that when you are ready to drink it then it's done. However apart from clarity, the longer then wine is aged, the better it tastes to many people.

[@chriscapo5963]

All these different wines. You’ve now been indoctrinated as my favorite uncle.

Thank you for watching.

[@kingrangerey]

Why are you copying another youtubers channel. Everything from recipe to the steps and used ingredients. Go check @Cuoredicioccolato

[@DIYFermentation]

I've just looked at his video, and there is little similarity to his mango recipe, and method of making mango wine. His recipe uses grapes and limes, and different amounts of sugar, mine used raisins, lemon, and black tea. He does not boil his fruit to kill off wild yeast, and bacteria. In fact the only similarity between his video and mine is that we are both making mango wine.
