I also hate bananas, although I can eat them if they’re fairly unripe. That said, I make vinegar and banana vinegar has been hands down the best I’ve ever made! It elevates everything but also so tasty on plain rice. Wow!!! 🍌 I’m planning on upping my game to wine, mead, and makgeolli making and I’m so excited to start with banana!!! 🎉

[@oliversmith8198]

You have an incredible show, and I’ve gotten started brewing using your information as a guidelines. Thank you! I got a quick question about bottling, Does my wine need to be bottled shortly after the last racking, or can I bottle it whenever? Thanks again.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thanks Oliver for your kind words. It's best to do at the same time unless you put it back in a carboy to bottle another day.. got to keep oxygen out at this point. Great question. 👍👍😁😁♥️♥️

[@jondavies5814]

Really enjoying your channel. I can't wait to get started. I just wondered if you notice any difference in the quality of the wine if brewed in a 5 gallon batch compared to a smaller 1 gallon batch? I've heard people say bigger is better?

[@HowToDoneRight]

No flavor difference. In my opinion it's too much time to make just 1 gallon batches. 1 gallon batches will give you 4 to 5 bottles and that may take you 4 to 6 months to reap rewards. 5 gallon batches will give you 20 to 25 bottles more worth it but alot of wine... that's why you will see recent videos me doing 3 gallon batches And not as hard on the back lugging carboys around... but no difference in quality at all. Great question And thanks for subscribing AND watching the channel. 👍👍😁😁🍷🍷

[@dank6905]

I just bottled second gallon of Blueberry,,it looks watered down,not as dark as first batch,it don't taste watered down,its quite good,seems to be the favorite among my friends.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes Blueberry is a favorite of mine. If you followed my recipe with all that fruit will not be watered down.

[@avs117]

Great video as always, thanks! What racking cane / siphon do you use in your videos? I have had bad experiences a couple times and need to get a good one. And do you use the same one for racking and bottling (with the extra bottling attachment)? Thanks in advance!

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thank you so much. Im not sure the brand on this one bought off someone private no box. but i need a new one i broke the top off attaching the hose. And i just use the same one with the bottle attachment. I would get one that the middle piece is glass that the hose attaches too. Thanks for watching the channel👍👍😁😁

[@ervintaylor6508]

great video, did you do a video on your strawberry wine or do you pretty much use the same recipe for all your fruit wine

[@HowToDoneRight]

Every wine i make uses the same recipe. Trust me this recipe with strawberries is amazing. Keep me posted if you make it. Thanks for watching👍👍😁😁🍷🍷

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

What a wonderful overview! Your video perfectly illustrates the point that preference is personal. Some things will come back across the board and usually they boil down to a few elements: 1) balance: a good balance (acidity, tannins, sweetness) will come across as more pleasant. One should slightly dominate, the two others should support that one. Think of it like a triangle. 2) like in computer programming, crap in = crap out. Input influences output. Ripe fruit equals more flavour. Incidentally, if you want lots of peach flavour (notoriously difficult to get) then your peaches should he as ripe as possible, come off the stone easily and do not remove the skins as they add A LOT of flavour. 3) patience. Fast fermentation equals loss of flavour, so if your fermentation is violent, move your fermenter to a cooler spot. You’ll lose less flavour through the airlock 4) light. I noticed you use clear bottles. Especially with darker fruit, protect the delicate colour and berry flavours by using coloured glass bottles. Wine makers have heen doing this for ages and there is a reason they do. Your blueberry might have benefited from this. Blueberry is a very delicate flavour. The mixed berry, thanks to the seeds that contain more tannins, might have kept better thanks to the higher tannic value… or it’s just younger (still binge watching, haven’t gotten to the mixed berry and blueberry wines yet). Thank you for an excellent video.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yeah dark bottles is great... but I keep all my wine in a dark wine closet... I like to see the color in wine as ages.

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

Hi Todd and Laura. I have made Pineapple.....Very good....done in 25 days. I have banana in the secondary 5 gallon carboy waiting for clarification, and I am starting frozen mixed berry with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries tomorrow. After that I will be trying a strawberry wine. So, I will do your top three each and see where I would rank them. Since you made this video....have your minds changed on your top three or have you made new combinations of wine you would put in the top 3 now? Thanks a lot!

@@HowToDoneRight Will do! very excited do to my first batch next week. One last question; if you don't let the hydrometer go to 1.000 but let say 1.010 and you stop the fermantation process... does that mean your wine will be sweeter but has less alcohol in it?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes. But most likely will continue to ferment when putting in secondary until alll the yeast dies.

[@alsrx]

I’ve been watching your videos and I have not seen where you have tested pH. Is that something that is not necessary when following a recipe such as yours?

[@HowToDoneRight]

That's funny you ask that. I have a meter and never use it. Generally if you have pour water quality you could test the ph. You want it between 3.4 and 3.8. I even have a ph meter just never use it because i have great water quality. If i would get off taste wine i would test but wine is perfect each time with this recipe. If you wanted to age wine for longer periods of time you may want to mess with ph. There's all kinds of test kits for wine i just think it's not necessary in my situation. I'd be curious if some of my other experienced wine makers are testing it. Great question. 👍👍

Please help! I want to grow pears and apples inside of the wine bottles before filling them with my homemade wine (recipe from your video). Is this at all possible? Or will the whole fruit rot or spoil the wine? I of course plan to wash and sanitize the bottle with the fruit in it before I add the wine. Do you have any suggestions for me?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Wow that Is thinking outside the box?😁😁 i got a little confused about your question you said Grow then you said about the fruit inside. If you mean adding fruit to the bottle then add wine to it that Is dangerous because the fruit would ferment release carbon dioxide and the bottles would explode under pressure.

Absolutely never. The fruits are a beautiful color that's all that is needed.

[@AkuaKamau]

@@HowToDoneRight I gotta admit that sometimes I do. Whenever I make Skeeter Pee I sometimes use coloring to give it a green, purple, red or even slightly blue tinge.. I may also add artificial flavoring as a flavor enhance. I only do this with Skeeter Pee. For fruit wines I add t a touch of salt as a flavor enhancer just prior to bottling. These are normally consumed within 6 months to a year though.
