    As someone who's dealt with a syringe or two, take the plunger out before you put it in TRBOS, take the separate pieces out and shake them off, then put the plunger back in. Less mess.

    hi guys, ive been following awhile now and i just wanted to say how much i appreciate your playlist management. really. it goes a long way. it makes it so cool and easy to find your stuff and honestly, not alot of channeles at all would take the time to make small playlists like you guys, these small miniseries and i just really wanted to thank you for it. i LOVE watching the start, mid and aged finish. SO cool and fun. maybe give a shoutout every once in awhile to your work? tell people to click on your playlists and browse around? anyway i really appreciate it!
    MUCH LOVE and hope you guys can do this a long time! or well...as long as you'd like to lol.

    Might be able to put my Airlock back in the 5 gallon fermenter later today or tonight . The Blow-off tube has slowed down to only 3 chugs a second , instead of a steady Boil . And that through a hose 3/8 ID. By 9/16 OD . It filled up a 1 gallon catch jar with foam , and ran over , now it's filled up another gallon 1/2 way . IT HAPPENS . On closer examination , the Airlock has 8 small pin holes around the outside edge of the snap on cap . HAPPY BREWING . 🤠

    Love your videos! Originally I was only interested in meadmaking but you guys have really opened my eyes to winemaking as well, once I realized how uncomplicated it can be made. Made the sweet red wine in the juice container using bread yeast (Kronjäst, the swedish brand), and that wine is long gone (because I drank it all!). Now I've got a second batch of wine fermenting, same recipe but with 71-B (cause I am curious to see how that turns out). So thank you for the videos, the recipes and all the laughs and smiles you bring me.

    The 2 Blow-off jars poured together made 1 gallon of liquid . Now that thing has me ( curious ) I don't need it . I have 3 , 5 gallon batches . 2 made , 1 making . I've always used a 3 pack of yeast for 5 gallons with no problem . But I've seen a whole pack of yeast per gallon . Sooo , 5 gallon 5 packs . Wrong , anyway back to the story . I put sugar in the Blow off ,it would foam out , so what , it was sitting in a stock pot to catch the over flow . When everything settled down , sit the jug in the sink, pour the liquid in the stock pot back in the jug . Don't want to waste time with this , but curious . Tighten the cap down , reached for an Ice Pick , by the time I poked a pin 📌📍 hole in the lid , it Hissed a few seconds . I'm fixing to stick it in the Block Building . Around Christmas time I'll check it out . Take it to Game 🎯 Night , hand it to someone and say , Merry Christmas . I'm really not that Bad . But Friday , I'll take that gallon I back sweeten , with a Bag of Oysters . You break out a bag of Oysters with free wine 🍷 you don't have to worry about how to get rid of stuff . There's nothing wrong with it , I'm keeping the rest of the 5 gallon batch . It's at 1.010 , back sweeten went to 1.014 . Not much difference , but enough for me . Now you get a bag of Oysters and free wine around a gang of Construction Workers . They'll drink that up like it was Soda Pop . They'll be happy , and I will too .

    So I took on a pumpkin spice mead. I wanted to suggest it for you two to try. I made one mistake but I think its salvageable. I used 2 cans of 100 percent pumpkin puree. I suggest only using one (let's just say I had to use a blow off tube) then I added 8 all spice berries, 2 cloves, cinnamon stick, 3 1 inch by 1/2 inch pieces of ginger, vanilla bean split, 2 nutmeg nuts split in half, 3lbs of wildflower honey, the rest water and Lanvin RC 212. Tell me what you think! Hope you two are having a great day! Hopefully I can get a critical success on this recipe.

    Megamaid and the Herculameter… sounds like an 80s cartoon that came on after “Masters of the Universe.” Megamaid and the trusty Herculometer keep the world safe from Alien Acetobactor invasion. Each episode is a nail-biter until they combine by activating the magic word “TRBOS” and then swirl together, weakening the nasty Acetobactors so they can prevail in the end!

    Hi derika and Brian,
    I have a question 🤔
    I'm about to rack off to secondary however I don't have smaller vessels and I'm going to be left with a huge head space.
    I plan to back sweeten with honey and enhance flavours with dried berries
    My question is can I add more water to add volume and reduce head space?
    I know this will likely cause it to referment. But other then that and being careful not to oxidise the extra fluids if there anything I should know or be careful of? 🤔
    Thanks in advance 😊
    Love the channel

    • @CitySteadingBrews
      @CitySteadingBrews  2 роки тому +1

      Okay, headspace is overly emphasized. As long as you're more than 2/3 full should be just fine. If you're adding honey and more fruit at that time, you should be alright, just keep in mind you still need to keep that fruit wet, so push it down every day. Adding water will dilute your abv and cause refermentation which makes backsweetening kind of pointless, since the idea is a sweeter brew, so you would need to either surpass the tolerance of your yeast or kill them off. My preferred method is pasteurizing. ua-cam.com/video/pV5vSYFp6kk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=CitySteadingBrews

    I've watched a lot of your videos and they are perfect for the beginner. Thank you for the science behind this - something that helps me make intelligent choices and changes someday when I get brave enough to try my own recipe. Question about the swirl: You call the CO2 a waste product of the yeast. Is there any chance that yeast waste products lend something to improve the quality of the finished product? Or is this old news that I just haven't yet learned?

    • @CitySteadingBrews
      @CitySteadingBrews  3 роки тому +2

      Co2 can be useful for carbonation, other than that it adds bitter flavors. That’s another reason to degas which we either do manually or let time handle it for us before bottling.

      Normal? Not common no, but it can be done. The issue is you are diluting it as well as adding fermentables so it may take a very long time to finish or it will always run dry, depending on the brew and your juice.

      @@CitySteadingBrews Missed that one. Just watched it. Yeah, having to do calculations for FG and converting to Brix and applying a wort correction factor can be a bit of a pain. Frankly I do refractometer for OG because I don't want to drink the unfermented brew, and the less I have to sanitize the better. I also usually ferment in a vessel that has a spigot so I don't have to open the container or sanitize a thief/pipette/syringe to take a reading. I also take refractometer readings towards the end because they are so easy to grab, and all you are really looking for is for it to stop changing, it doesn't really matter if it's accurate, just consistent. I will often take a hydrometer reading for FG because I intend to drink the sample anyway and no math.
