I love the videos you two put out. They have helped my hubby get on board with brewing at home. He loves all the information you provide and how you break the process down. I'm always checking for new videos to watch with him. We appreciate the effort that's put into your channel.
Happy to help!
Aren't they just awesome! I can honestly see myself being friends with them. Not just selfishly for their brews. :) They seem like a lot of fun. I love their relationship. Cheers!!!
Aww, thank you!
@@microbefeeder Yes!!! They seem like my kinda people for sure!
I remember recommending this to be brewed because my batch is a little over a year. I love mine also and im glad you love yours too! Thank you for the terrific content!
I put a "born on" date on my bottles (the date yeast was pitched) and a "bottled on" date.
I was just going to ask that question on when you do the 1 year from, start or bottle, but you answered it. LOL. Thanks so much and keep up with the great videos

"Truly, this is a warrior's drink!"

I love Derica's Shakespeare's reference to the play that shall not be named. "Out, out damn spot."
LOL, love the sound effects
Holy hell, An eleven and a nine point five. I guess I didn't really need a reason to make this. I have yet to see something you both have made that i did not want to try anyway. Thank you for your work.
Derica, this is how I feel about the Fruit Cake Mead! Now, I have to try Acia Mead! The hardest part of mead is waiting the full year to taste the glory! No one is getting fruit cake for holiday, it's gone......
You guys are the greatest. I never watch one of your videos that I don't chuckle.
Thank you. Glad you enjoy the show!
I made a chocolate blueberry acai mead a couple years ago, trying to replicate the taste of those Brookside candies. Honey, Acai powder, blueberry juice, frozen blueberries, cacao nibs. It really nailed the flavor of the candies, even though it was a bit dryer than I usually make.
Sounds awesome actually!
@@CitySteadingBrews I ended up with four bottles, and they were gone in two months no matter how I tried to hoard it. My friends wiped me out! I'll be making another batch soon, it was definitely a hit.
Wow, it must have been a while ago but I really just noticed you two surpassed 200K. Congrats! A long way from the path to 10K days, lol.
Welcome back!
“Do you know what The Bri is saying?
Put that on a t-shirt. 😂
sounds good, i'll have to recommend it to dad.
Nice
If you were thinking about adding cinnamon, or maybe some orange zest with the flavors you are describing. Try using it as a mulled wine, and go from there.
I will be making this starting this weekend when our heat wave ends and I have a chance to buy some red star classique. I have found a source for acai puree 48 oz on Amazon so we will see how that works. I usually go 2.5 gallons and wine bottle it all. Thanks!
So I have gotten into a habit of when I make mead's and wines that fall into that lower scale of 1 through 4, that I have used them for making vinegar's.
Acai is one of those flavors that I really want to include in a few of my brews because I used to live in Brazil. I don't know if I want to use the Smoothie blend though. I think I'm going to try to find some dried acai on Amazon or maybe some acai extract
Interesting…. Strawberry wine and Acai mead getting high scores! 👍❗️
Since some brews take longer than others, I just label them with the start date. I don’t want to penalize a brew that takes 5 months in comparison to one that only takes a month.
Awesome video! Thank you making me smile!
I have a question that is kind of related.....I grow goji berries, can I use them fresh to make mead? Would I treat them like any other fresh fruit?
Thanks! Please keep up the awesome work! ❤
I honestly don't know. We used dried. I have never seen a fresh one!
@@CitySteadingBrews I found them growing on our back fence when I moved in. Well, I will try with this season's crop and share my results! 😃
Huh, I thought they were a bush berry...
@@CitySteadingBrews they are kind of sprawling and bushy, very thorny, and rather invasive, at least in Alberta so I am told, so I might as well use them to make something yummy!
when you bought the smoothie açaí was it already sweetened or was it full on açaí flavor?
I don't recall to be honest.
“Too many notes”
-Amadaeus
Lol
do you aerate your mead before consumption like with some wines?
I generally do not, no. Not sure if it would improve or not. Then again, I don't do it with wine either!
On a different note any options about the 128 or 64 oz mini keg systems from Gencowise for forced carbonation?
Never used them, sorry.
Ok, I am investigating how to force carbonate 1 gallons brews and then transfer it to bottles. Since almost every one recommend that you chill the mead before and during carbonation, would there be any impact to flavors if I allow the carbonated brew to warm and store at room temp, ~72 deg?
@@user-ur1hj4pd4h shouldn't be no.
I have made a Klingon blood wine with acai added in conditioning. It's F'ing awesome.
The last homebrew shop in my county just went out of business. 😞 Do you have a link to a herculometer?
Just northern brewer I think.
@@CitySteadingBrews Okay, thanks.
Scared the crap out of me with the whine and punch sound effects 😂
Headphones user by the way😂
Question. I put, by mistake, double the quantity of sugar for my dates wine. What would happen? Using EC -1118.
Depends on the specific gravity, temp, etc. May just make more alcohol, could cause a stall.
@@CitySteadingBrews What if I add water and yeast?
Without an idea of where the wort is, it's hard to give any useful advice. 😀
@@CitySteadingBrews Is fermenting. Smells like wine, but not as vigurous as I'd have expected from a hight dugar content. I do not have a hydrometer. Yet. 😐
@@Info-God it's impossible to say if it will be okay or not then. How much did you add? How much dates? Batch size?
Bri beat me to it lol
Today I made my first coffeemead really disgusting, maybe because its new, what do you think of this recipe ? 1kg honey 3g jeastnutrient, 3,5 l water, 500ml coldbrew 30g, 1,062, bakingyeast. Was it bad to add the Coffee in primary ?
We have two different coffeemels on the channel. Not sure how yours compares. Seems low og so might not have enough honey character. Or it's young.
@@CitySteadingBrews yes i wanted low abw, I wait for a few month. Hope it gets better
Well, that can drastically change flavors too, just fyi.
Garnet is my birthstone, you should send it to me. ;)
Mine too.
Fruit punch IS a terrible way to describe something that is good. Unfortunately, there have been endless disappointing "fruit punch" flavors in products.
I have had some great homemade fruit punch.
Brian ever drink your face says it all I love it man love these videos
