@@julietardos5044 I apologize I lost my notes. But I did use 4 qt Ocean spray Cran Pineapple juice, nutrients, tannin, pectin and yeast ( I think lalvin 74 B). Added sugar to hit my target gravity then let it sit for 2 weeks. Racked and let it sit for another 2 weeks. Back sweetened with allulose to 1.012. That's basically it.

I use juice to carbonate my kombucha and it works *almost* every time. I can’t get cranberry to carbonate!!! After watching this video I am going to check the PH! Cranberry/pineapple/ginger tastes like a cyclone popsicle! I can’t wait to try that flavour combination again with the PH adjusted and hopefully it carbonates…. Thanks for another great video.

Hi! Fantastic video. I HAVE carbonated and pasteurised a ginger beer using just sugars. It was 7%. I used lots of fiery fresh ginger, lemon juice, powdered ginger adding roundness and lemon juice for acidity. It went totally dry and quite clear, I backsweetened to 1.030 and bottled knowing I was asking for trouble. I put it into a large heavy duty plastic container and gave it 3 days, squeaky bum time for the full 72 hrs. The most dangerous part was then pasteurising up to 60C (I’m English) for 20 mins. Cooled and the back into the container for a month of maturation. It’s the most heavenly and terrifying drink I ever made… 😅😅

Opened a bottle of my cranberry pomegranate apple cider to watch. When I bottled I added a teaspoon of allulose and a sugar pill in each bottle to hopefully get a little sweet and carbonate and they all are flat. It's still really good, just didn't carbonate. Fermentation was REALLY slow and I didn't test the pH so that was probably the reason. It didn't stall but it took a month to ferment. So it could have been either the allulose or the pH that stopped it from fermenting. But I used the yeast at the bottom to get my next batch going and it did fine. I call it my friendship cider... Lol PS. I bottle everything I make with bottle caps because that's what I have. Wine, Mead, cider, beer all go into bottles and are capped. Which can be interesting if I forget to label it... Lol

So i left it like it is using the D47 yeast half a packet to this gallon. Just check this morning. It looks like the yeast doing the job well nice foam quarter from the top so it's working even with alot of acid in the juice. I could add yeast nutrients the next day just incase if it stalls.

I still use your old method of pasturizing to halt fermentation and get a sweet natural carbed cider/mead. It is risky and I've had a few bottles blow (maybe 5%) but it's worth it. Would love if you come up with a better method. For those scared of bottles blowing during pasteurization I use a sous vide in a large ice chest with lid down as far as the cord allows. Bottles blowing just means losing 12 oz of cider and cleaning glass out of the bottom of the ice chest. The water keeps the bottle bomb from even scratching the icechest.

I'll have to try a cranberry cider sounds good. I've been naturally carbonating and just pasteurizing. I've only had one bottle break and I think it happened cause either there may have been an imperfection in the bottle or what I suspect is that the hot water I poured into the cooler may have been too hot since it was the bottle closest to where I poured the water that broke (it broke after a little while not while I was pouring), and another possible factor was that I may have filled the bottles too much with the cider and since liquid does not compress the pressure got too high. Since then I've made sure I fill the bottles a little less and use water no hotter than 180 deg F. My ciders have come out carbonated and sweet. Recently I made one with the leftover juices I had in my fridge from previous ciders, so it was a combination of 2 different apple juices, tart cherry juice and pear juice. It came out really good, the blend or tartness from the cherry mixed with the sweet of the pear and apple was delicious.

Haha, are we green? I have been thinking about carbonation because I used your ginger beer recipe and added some pears and was looking at my first natural carbonation. I like the idea of the homogenous mix for consistency but have noticed that the yeastie beasties don't cooperate well. and the ratios may change in the pitcher as it settles while you bottle. Tedious as it might be, I am thinking that a bottle by bottle carbonation might be worth a try. I will perhaps look at your yeast and sugar by volume and scale down for bottles. This won't prove anything, but if mine carbonate well, it would perhaps encourage further investigation along this line. BTW this is my first non-distilled project outside of liqueurs and limoncello type bevvies, so thanks for all the tips and advice (my education ) 🤣.

Great video, thanks for sharing your craft with all of us. You mentioned how back sweetening can interfere with carbonation. On my last Cider in addition to erythritol I tried a cinnamon extract and the carbonation failed miserably. I was thinking because I got stupid with two cups of brown sugar and Fleishman's yeast, I stressed that yeast to the point where there none left. This has me thinking that just maybe the extract may have also been a factor. Have you heard of extracts playing a detrimental role in carbonation also. I will never use that much sugar again. I was seeing stars after two them and it tasted to me like pureed mule poop.

The priming sugar is for carbonation. If you just add it into the fermenter, it will simply ferment and make more alcohol, but if you bottle it, it will hold the carbonation and make it sparkling.

Vinegar, Will Robinson! Vinegar! Derica is such a joy. Also, if you wanted a sweet carbonated beverage, why not use a low-tolerance yeast and deliberately stun it at the end by adding a little too much sugar? I know yeast can't read, despite the ground-breaking Teaching Yeast To Read program, but there has to be a yeast strain that's more reliable with its limitations than others.

Oh for amount? Almost makes no difference. Packets do 5 up to 5 gallons. We tend to use 1/2 a packet for up to three gallons and a whole past that. We have used whole packets for a gallon too. It's really hard to use too much yeast.

@@CitySteadingBrews Right on! Thank you! I just thought I would ask, not just for me, but others that might have doubts, concerns, or just curiosity about yeast usage. Cheers 🥂! And thank you again! You two are the best!!!

Have y’all ever done a cleaning and sanitization episode? Like best practices and such? Maybe how you scrub the gunk out of a narrow mouth like that fermenter???

While hydrating the yeast for the cranberry apple cider (Mar 2, 2024) you mentioned that rehydrating in just water wasn't the best because sometimes it didn't do much. You said that instead you would rehydrate in the apple juice because that would be better. My question is then does this mean that the yeast "lika da juice"? 😁 Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

There's sugar in it to give them something to work on. Water will wake them up most times still though.

Watching this one again. Funny you mentioned auto siphon usage. I just watched someone else I thought was a good brewer using his mouth to start the siphon like a gas thief!

When bottling, maybe consider PET plasitlc, much safer i would think. I use re used plasic pop bottles, very durable. Also a cheat for sweet carbonated ciders: use appropriate amount of sugar, let carbonate till bottle is almost solid then stick in the fridge. The cold temperature will slow fermentation to almost nothing, will be carbonated and sweet at the same time. Just leave in fridge or carbonation will start again.

That is not a good idea. I know of many people who had bottle bombs in the fridge.

This video kind of sent me on a funny train of thought. I love the absolute WIDTH of the hobby of brewing. In this video y'all used testing kits, other versions of testing kits, all kinds of neat tools, did tons of math to figure out technically unnecessary things. But realistically there's someone that's going to see this recipe and just say "Nahhh don't need all that" and just chuck the two juices together in a random bucket, throw some yeast in, and still come back to a drink they think is delicious. Gotta love brewing.
