How We Made Mango Wine at Home

[@donaldmiller8629]

I have two 1 gallon pickle jars that I use as fermenters. They have large openings on top. I had to make the openings in the lid for the air lock. Fairly simple. I am quite happy with them considering the price which was free.

I appreciate y'all keeping it simple. I live in Baja, Mexico, and can't get a lot of specialized ingredients. Mangoes, however...

[@DragonsinGenesisPodcast]

I made a similar recipe. Replaced half the white sugar with brown sugar and it is amazing!!! I also used Kveik Voss yeast and fermented at about 85-90F, so the yeast added lots of tropical fruity flavor. It’s mango-forward with nice complexity and super smooth. 13% but tastes like 5%.

[@matteopassuello1220]

I totally agree with Derica when she said that people from different parts of the world may or may not appreciate a certain beverage in terms of its sugar content, because it all depends on what you are used to drink. Also, it probably doesn’t depend only on where you live but also on your age and other variables. For example, I live in Italy and most of young people like me, talking about alcoholic beverages, like to drink sparkling stuff like beers or dry wines with bitter aperitifs (and nobody drink mead, most people don’t even know what it is). In fact, when I make my own mead I use a 18% tolerance yeast to get a 7-9% totally dry sparkling mead, and I add some herbs during fermentation to make it more bitter. This is the recipe that most of my friends like the most. I love your channel guys but we totally like different stuff, although you’re always a good source for inspiration! Cheers to making mead and drinking good!

[@papasmurf9146]

I completely agree about different places liking different drinks. I recently moved from one end of the US to another and I cannot drink the lemonade or tea where I now live; both a just sickeningly sweet.

I often travel to Taiwan for business and my last visit was for two months. Upon returning, my favorite sweet tea literally made me gag. Being away from American sweet things definitely changes your taste for sweet!

When I use tea for a recipe, I like to use English breakfast tea in particular. It’s just a blend of basic black teas to have a lot of tannins without being particularly bitter.

[@jasonmyersOU812]

I can speak to the Red Stat foil packets preserving yeast. I have several packets of Red Star "Premier Cave'e" and "Pasteur Champagne". They were my father's and he passed away about 7 years ago. The packets have expiration dates of '17 and '16 respectively, and upon testing a a few of them, in simple sugar and water both of the yeasts are active and viable for use. I'm blown away by that too but The good thing is, I don't have to invest in new yeasts; and I can carry on the old man's legacy, in a figurative way, at least. I don't know what kind of tastes they will impart to the brews however.

Thank you. Always a pleasure finding out what I need to know from such a lovely couple - and of course - the many years of hands on experience given to me by you. Much appreciated.

[@not-on-pizza]

From the UK. Not sure if I prefer my alcohol dry or sweet, but I know that I have issues with some soft drinks being too sweet. I also don't think I'd be able to safely pasteurize any of my own brews by myself (for Reasons), so when I do eventually get started with this, I'm probably going to be getting used to dry brews. Maybe you should call that unnamed tasting moment "Tinker Tasting", as it's your last chance to tinker with what it tastes like before bottling. I think the idea of extending that tasting session and maybe giving it a score then could be interesting.

[@AustinNystel]

Hey you two! Just wanted to say in response to your question of where we live and what we prefer. As a 26 year old American I'd have to say i prefer dryer brews, especially after i stopped drinking pop.

[@davidhowell7279]

I just started 3 gallons of mango peach. I think that they compliment each other very much. I'm going off the rails and using sake yeast. I recently added pear juice and sugar to the lees/residue from my last batch of sake and oh my goodness. it's delicious. Definitely has a sake flavor profile with the delicate pear flavor along for the ride. abv around 15% so a little less hard hitting than the 20% abv sake it was born from. thought that I would cut out the middle man and go straight to the crushed up yeast balls. a friend of mine just made a beer using sake yeast balls and it is amazing. mad scientists. bwaahaha! great video. I don't think that you realize how influential and inspirational you are. I wouldn't be on the joyful brewing path that I'm on if it weren't for the two of you. many thanks!

As always, another great video. I love and am inspired by your content. I recently started my first batch of mead, 2 gallons of a very simple ancient orange recipe that has been bubbling happily for about a week. Today I realized I had made my first rookie mistake - I initially added 2 full gallons of water instead of adding enough water to bring the must to a total of 2 gallons per the recipe, resulting in about 0.5 to 0.7 gallons of extra water in my starting must. Yikes. What would be the best course of action at this point? Is it worth trying to add more honey to the batch one week in? Should I just stay out of the way and let things go for my first batch? Help me CS Brews, you're my only hope!

Your question is pretty good! I'm from Canada and, in my family, we just hate sugar so the dryer's the better. I made a couple of ciders... Oh wait, hard ciders... and the only one I liked are those that ended up around .98. we even have commercial ciders that deliberately write that there's less than 1g of residual sugar. I've been in the States very often for job purposes and believe me, I can't eat in most places because of the amount of sugar they put in the food or the drinks.

This is such a summer drink. That and rose petal wine I'm currently aging but it's already amazing at only a month and a half old.

I too am an auto siphon guy. When I started doing larger batches I got two wide mouth plastic 6.5 gallon carboys. One has a spigot and one doesn't. I've used the one with the spigot once and that was just to mix up a must to divide into 10 separate half gallon batches to see what the difference between different yeasts would be if everything else was the same. While it seems like a good idea, to me the spigot has small places that are harder to clean. While I could use it to bottle, I haven't tried that yet, though I may try it in the near future.. Once I get another five-six gallon batch going again. Something about bottling the contents of the ones I had for a fourth of July party with fellow sailors.. Anyway, happy Fourth of July!

I like sweet wine, and my wife likes dry. Since this batch was more than a gallon, I might have used a Grolsch bottle to bottle one dry.

An alternative would be to bottle half dry (or add sugar and pasteurize), and use a half gallon bottle I have to add sugar and ferment further. It would be interesting to see how it turned out. Ahh, experimentation!

Love your videos, you've inspired me to start brewing - I'm planning to use some of this year's figs and muscadines for my first two batches. You said you were searching for a term for the tasting to determine whether to back sweeten. Why not make a play on the qualification testing and acceptance testing in engineering? Qualification "tasting" can be the preliminary tastes to see if any significant changes and/or back sweetening is needed. Qualification testing can be repeated until you're satisfied. Acceptance "tasting" is then performed as the final tasting just prior to bottling to see if any final tweaks are needed, and for scoring.

Good point and America foods being higher in added sugars compared to other countries.

Grew up in the Midwest where everything is fried/fatty and sweetend.

[@trashman1358]

UK. Dry. I'm a foodie as well, love American recipes but steer well clear of any brown sugar or sugar additions. To me (it's all subjective) the sweetness replaces the 'base' or heavier flavours so you lose flavour and get a bland 'sweet' which (to me) always tastes the same. Mentally I feel I'm only getting half the flavour and a whole load of sweet. But it's all subjective - so I think I'll throw the entire bag of dried mango in, find mold and have to throw the entire thing away... 😉 Thanks both! 😁🖖

Any non fermentable sweetener would work to add sweetness without having to pasteurize. However those substances don’t play well with Bri’s system, so we avoid them.

Hope you guys are doing well, this channel has been very great and wholesome! I recently started making wine as well. Unfortunately my first wine started smelling like vomit. 😢 I did clean everything and sanitized it. I boiled the mangoes that were frozen. Tried to “squeeze” with something hard to get the juices out. Mixed everything in the jar, it was fermenting well for 5-7 days than went dormant and started smelling like vomit. It wasn’t bad for me but my wife says its really bad. Any chance it can be saved? I put it in a different container without the fruits hoping that the fermentation needs more time. Total weeks: 3

[@CitySteadingBrews]

I've not had that occur, but if there's no mold it's likely fine. Young brews can smell unusual at times, but, if it's that bad, probably better to just start over. There could have been any number of things in the mangoes.

[@dgoswami1]

hi brian and derica, I'm from india and love the show - as I live in a region with avg temp of about 27-36 degrees celcius, was wondering about the effect on brewing. Also, can we use the lees from the fermentation as yeast nutrient for the next round (same recipe) ? if we step feed sugar/nutrient later after 1st racking, will the fermentation keep going or close out at the yeast tolerance (or a few points above, as Yeast can't read!!) ?

[@CitySteadingBrews]

If you don't use air conditioning, I would make sure to use a yeast that can handle those temps. Like kveik. In theory, you can use the lees, but it will be lacking in nitrogen, so not as good as say Fermaid O. Step feeding can sometimes get you past the yeast tolerance, but it's not a guarantee.

[@dgoswami1]
