Wild Ferment Mango Wine - So Delicious!

Today we are fermenting some mango wine! This is a delicious fermented drink and we aren't using any added yeast.
I am adapting this recipe from this great video here: • How To Make Sparkling ... from a new channel I recently found called BrewNourish. Be sure to check her out and tell her I sent you!

Looks so fun! Thank you for sharing!!

[@EventheSparrowHomestead]

Oh, my! This sounds heavenly! It reminded me of my grandparents' dandelion wine when you mentioned using a balloon as a topper. I can still remember the five gallon jugs fermenting away in the hall closet.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m hoping to try that next year! I’ve never tasted it but I really want to! 💜

It's always great when people try homebrewing, and you've done a pretty good job here. I understand where you're coming from on certain things as your ethos. Not buying commercial yeasts and using the naturally occurring yeast can be a good way to ferment. However, without going too overboard I would recommend: - Buying and using a hydrometer to know what the ABV of the drink is. - Definitely keep using an airlock and don't encourage people to use balloons because they harbour a great deal of bacteria which can ruin your brew. - Ferment the must initially in a fermenting bucket and airlock and then siphon it into the 1 gallon demijohn after it stops fermenting to help reduce the amount of sediment at the bottom of your drinks (not many people like that and it makes giving it as a gift a little less appreciated xD ) - I would definitely consider using something like StarSan to sanitise your equipment. There are chemicals to worry about and not use (potassium metabisulphites etc.) and I don't use those either but just being sanitary is pretty important. Great job though, sounded pretty tasty!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Thank you so much for such detailed feedback! I did buy a hydrometer after making this but I haven’t quite figured out how to use it yet. You sounds like you have a ton of knowledge in this 😀 I’m just starting out so I appreciate your input!

[@jimb6933]

@@FermentedHomestead Yeah no worries! I always love seeing people doing home-brewing and there is nothing more satisfying than coming out the other side with an amazing product! I've been home-brewing for a little while now and I've made a lot of mistakes so I try to pass on my knowledge to help people get to where I'm at now a little bit faster 😁 I would recommend watching a few, if not all, videos of Brian and Derica over on the City Steading Mead and More channel - you will learn a great deal from those guys (they have a hydrometer video too you can watch ☺️) and it will help you to make a really great product 👍 Good luck on your next endeavour 🤞🍀

[@gphx]

I had a friend with a basement full of expensive wine making equipment and one who'd buy plastic bottles of juice and add sugar and yeast directly to the bottle it came in. Both made tasty wine.

[@riddersjc]

Hi there, as someone that is new to brewing - why is potassium metabisulfite bad and to be avoided? Isn't that what's in campden tablets?

[@pattilesley3755]

I love mango! I wouldn’t think mangoes are easy to get this time of year but I’ll look. I’ve have mango wine slushy’s that are to die for!!! Thanks for the recipe 😁

[@FermentedHomestead]

If you have a Costco you can get mangos haha, might have to let them ripen on the counter for a week but they’re usually there!

[@alasdairdouglas7485]

I would like to say you have a lovely kitchen, I could feed an army of people from there as I cook as well, but my kitchen is small, and I can still feed alot from it,

[@FermentedHomestead]

I am SO blessed to have this kitchen! If you watch some of my earlier videos I had a pretty small galley kitchen so moving here was kind of amazing! 💜

[@phallca]

Thanks for the vid I was smiling most of the way through it. When making a wine with pulp always start it off in a sealable bucket (with airlock of course) as it will always form a cap with the fruit, once the the ferment has settled down a little you can strain it off into your demi john, there will still be a little froth forming as it ferments but nothing that can't be managed, the reason for refrigerating it is to basically shrink the gas inside (24 hrs is usually enough) and help avoid the foaming up as you open it. I think the main reason yours was so active was that (in my opinion) you bottled too soon which in itself can cause problems with bursting bottles. Using the plastic bottle as a progress indicator is always a good idea as its a little more difficult to squeeze the glass one :) All in all I enjoyed your video and look forwards to watching more of them. Thanks again.

[@thecatwhosawstars]

I love all things mango. I’ve never fermented anything but I definitely want to try it.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Fermenting make things so much tastier and enhances all the goodness in them 💜

[@carlossaysroar]

Great tips! Thank you!

[@kb2vca]

Great video and good idea to make a wine using indigenous yeast. Two or three quick thoughts: 1. Using about 1.5 lbs of sugar in about 1 US gallon of water has the potential to make a wine that is about 8% alcohol by volume. Use less sugar if you want a less sweet and less alcoholic wine. 2. Indigenous yeast are unlikely to have the same tolerance for alcohol (which is toxic for yeast) as lab cultured yeast, so the potential limit may not be reached by the yeast and that will mean that they will quit while there is sugar remaining and that will mean that this wine may finish sweet rather than brut dry. 3. Once the yeast start burping out carbon dioxide the wine becomes saturated with that gas and if you put anything into the container that has rough surfaces or edges - powders OR wooden utensils those surfaces NUCLEATE the gas and that allows the gas to more easily collect and that allows the collected gas to form larger bubbles and those bubbles can force a column of liquid above them, UP.... 4 The yeast will still ferment in the bottles and that is how and why the plastic bottle becomes firm. If you don't touch the fermenting bottle for at least two weeks more of the sugars will be fermented and you may want to buy an hydrometer to monitor the density of the wine. As the yeast ferment the sugars the density drops. Alcohol is LESS dense than water and water has a nominal density of 1.000. Ignoring the fruit in the liquid, if you have about 1 lb of sugar dissolved in water to make 1 US gallon the density of that liquid will be about 1.040

[@alasdairdouglas7485]

Try adding a bunch of squashed grapes, they have a natural yeast, please just try and let me know the outcome, I've already done this you won't be disappointed 😁👍

[@FermentedHomestead]

Ooohhhh great idea! I will try that next time! Thank you 💜

[@happysing4369]

That's perfect

[@caryesteban3191]

Rasins work just as good

[@stanleygrover2162]

Cold crashing is why you put it in the fridge. It will clear and drop sediment.

[@RN-df5ws]

Maybe I am missing something here, but here in India, we all know that the upper beak of the mango must always be sliced off, since it contains a severely irritating sap that burns the skin and throat

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’ve never heard of that, I’ve always eaten the whole mango without issue. I’ll have to look into that.

[@gphx]

There a wide variety of cultivars and that's not a problem with the ones commonly grown in the US.

[@stanleygrover2162]

Cool natural fermentation!🤠

[@inyayardhomestead5693]

G'day Anna, love mango so I'm definitely going to try this. I made a mango kombucha not long ago it was really tasty. Thanks for sharing and God bless you guys. 🦘👍

[@FermentedHomestead]

I haven’t tasted anything mango I haven’t liked! I’m going to have to try it in kombucha!

[@richarddenhaag070]

Just started the mangowine myself .. you started right away in a bottle, a bucket is more convenient for the first week, .. now day 14 .. bottled it and put it in the fridge .. but already saw the yeast is still active (it seemed to have stopped, but no) .. so the fermentation continues till it ends .. then we will see. Also made a wine based on citrus fruits (tangerines) .. tasted it, was extremely alcoholic and tasted like grapefruit, .. so it needed addional sugar. The journey of wine-making is the fun and so are the mistakes.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I like to avoid plastic, especially in fermenting. I did buy a few larger bottles to use next time though! Interesting on the citrus, I wouldn’t have guessed! I’m going to have to try that some time 😁

[@FermentedHomestead]

@@edwardnewman160 I’m happy you enjoyed the videos! I definitely avoid plastic whenever possible

[@ranjithmnair1976]

Hi, I have noticed that you havent added any yeast, still it is super active? What is the reason for that? I heard grapes and wheat are natural yeasts but never heard about Mango before. Is Mango also a natural yeast? Appreciated! Thank you for the video.

[@chairforce0928]

Would recommend getting a siphon pump to rack it. It's easier, safer, and less mess than poring.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Thank you for the tip! I will look into that 😃

[@faithcravens2417]

How do you use the fermentation seal

[@FermentedHomestead]

The one I used for the video goes into a fitted rubber cap and I fill the airlock to the line with water (sometimes brine) and that allows the pressure from inside to release but since there’s no pressure from the outside the air cannot get in. I hope that helps 😃

[@user-mf9ks3xw1c]

Great ! I'll try to repeat :)

[@FermentedHomestead]

Great 😊

[@ARNABOSS]

you can say this is the IPA of wines, wild harvest mango brewing is an indian recipe or practice and the dring is delicious as well as refreshing but one thing wrong about the BrewNourish recipe you saw is that the honey should be avoided, honey has a natural antiseptic called levulose and it might kill some of the yeast just skip it and add honey later if you want to make a cocktail so you were right to not add honey in the fermenter your timing was off, happens to everyone you should have bottled right before the volcano incident

[@urshekar7787]

Hey 👋nice video it was helpful But there is a problem in my wine I see white mold on the wine is it ok ?

[@FermentedHomestead]

If it is actual mold you can choose to scoop it out or toss it, that is a personal choice on white or green. Personally if it is a very small amount that hasn’t sank into the wine I would scoop it off. Are you sure it’s mold and not kham yeast?

[@urshekar7787]

@@FermentedHomestead I didn't know what's Kham yeast just searched on KZbin mine seems like kham yeast 🙈🤦‍♂️

[@francisrajugomes4455]

Do I need to refrigerate the wine after I bottle it, or is it fine in room temperature.......

[@FermentedHomestead]

I do but I don’t know if it’s required

[@stephenhogg6154]

The point of refrigerating is to stop the active fermentation. Outside the fridge, the bottles could explode.

congrats for this video I really like mango wine. but is making wine at home and in this way does not cause methanol. that is to say, the fermentation process is over, there is no risk of having methanol in our wine??

Hummm...😝🤔🤭..., if there is an odor of rotten eggs or similar, the wild yeasts in your mango wine probably lacked food..., which is normal and happens a lot with amateur brewers... . Next time add the food for the yeasts to multiply and carry the fermentation to the end and you will not have the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas in your wines..., best regards...😘🇧🇷

@@FermentedHomestead ah, sorry I hurt your feelings. However, what did you expect, a pat on the back. But hey, you took rhetorical to the anti-critical. If you cannot take comment, criticism or any opinion, for that matter, then why leave the comments open? As long as you post your mistakes, be ready for what comes thereafter, from anyone. Bye the way, do you really think or believe that engaging, as you did, with your commenters and making things personal helps your cause, if there is any? If you cannot accept criticism, then what does that say about you? Maybe you are not aware that any comments, good or bad, as you perceive them are ultimately good for any of your videos.
