    Wow that wild yeast is a real beast lol. I've never tried doing a wild fermentation due to the potential risk of equipment cross contamination, but I think I might try one out the way you did it in the original juice container, wild fermented cider sounds like it'd be lovely

      Had I really thought about it I would have included bread yeast in the experiment.

    Thsnks for the video, very interesting.
    9:45 - one thing i notice, the commercial yeast seems to leave the ferment a little less cloudy (at least to my eyes, looking at a moniter :)
    Compared to the wild yeast. Could it be better at flocculating the particles to the bottom of the container?

    Thank you for showing a clear view of the reading before saying what it was! It is something little, but I am just getting into brewing and have been second guessing if I was accurately reading the hydrometer. Being able to see it, call it out and then you confirm it every time correctly let me know I am doing it correctly. I have watched lots of other winemakers and meadmakers, but none that actually showed the reading clearly.

    Such an interesting experiment! I’ve always stayed away from wild yeasts. I’ve got commercial yeasts available to me so I’ve never been tempted. I have used baker’s yeast as well (for JOAM) but my preference goes to the control and reliability commercial yeasts offer. Their resilience and the known tendencies to provide certain flavours appeal to me.
    Not that an experiment might not be in the future… but as I tend to make meads more than any other alcoholic beverage there is the price factor to consider: good honey isn’t the cheapest source of fermentable sugars.
    Thank you for this video!

    Well, another awesome video (-: I had anything but good experience with wild yeast. I made very good cider, wine, mead and ginger beer cultuvating my own wild yeast from ginger and grapes. Grapes do yield good yeast! I'm a newbie to this fermentation world, so I'm just now starting to explore recipes with commercial yeast. I'm certainly going to replicate your experiment.
    This video is utterly useful because commercial yeast is so expensive :7

  • @chefruss419

    My experience with wild yeast is that it seems to be more vigorous with co2 production but not alcohol conversion. My experience with comerscial yeast is the opposite. I make wine strictly for alcohol I'm an alcoholic and turn over needs to be fast in my case. I can usually get a 5 abv in 72 hours using 2 cups of sugar and 64 oz 20 % sugar apple juice with 1 gram of dry yeast. With wild yeast and same formula it takes 5 days to get a 5 abv.

  • @kb2vca
    @kb2vca 2 роки тому +3

    But ABV is one metric. What about the flavor and the aroma that these two yeasts have produced. Sure, the apple wine is too green, perhaps, to enjoy, but if one yeast is producing off flavors or off aromas, then that may be an issue that monitoring only the yeasts' ability to ferment sugars cannot reveal.

    • @DIYFermentation
      @DIYFermentation  2 роки тому +5

      The purpose of the video is not to produce a complex zinfandel, or chardonnay, but to help verify the potential of using wild yeast especially in those countries where commercial yeast is not available.

    I tried to make apricot wine a while ago. It's been two months and it doesn't seem to sediment fully and the wine's cloudy. What can I do to make it clear? I'd love to hear your suggestions. 🙏

    • @DIYFermentation
      @DIYFermentation  2 роки тому +3

      Wines generally take several months to clear. Higher pectin fruits like apricots may never go fully clear. This channel has stopped using pectin enzyme, nor does is use any other clearing agents, but instead relies on time. For use on clarifying agents please consult another source.

    sorry for the most stupid question from super newbie never fermented or done anything in the past so forgive me , my question is what happens if someone puts more wild or commerical yeast vs less than should be yeast in the fermentation ? and is there any way to determine how much should someone put of wild yeast so it would be in the good range not too high or too low (coz i still dont know what happens if more or less is added yet i mean ) thanks

    Wouldn’t wild yeast have vastly different results based on the species common to your particular region? Also, wouldn’t this method produce off-flavors?

    Also you could have hydrated the wine yeast to make it more equal, another video I've seen starting the yeast made an effect on fermentation, like you content though think you're on to something.
