- How to freeze the must in the neck of home made sparkling wine bottles by using salt and crushed ice.
Take care to restrain the cork and keep your face away in case it flies off. look at my video how to make crushed ice.
Thank you for this! I've been looking everywhere for how I could do this at home.
Thank you very much. I get again one more idea. About how to freeze. Very nice your video
Thank you.
BEER! My favorite glass
Thank you sir
Thank you sir.
You are very welcome.
Genius! thanks for the tutorial!
great video, i was hoping degorging could be this easy as a DIY, looking forward to try it out :)
I really enjoyed this video ! Thanks Bernie.
I am going to try the same for my cider
It should work.
Very useful video - use it every time I need to degorge.
Perfect video thank you!
Is this good method to use on home brew Elder Flower champagne ? Turn them upside down and leave for how long so all must/ sediment is at the top ?
Good man,brilliant video !! You've helped me out a lot.Thanks
You very welcome.
Bern Clark How much sugar and yeast do you add per bottle for the second fermentation?
Nabil Rehmatullah The simple way is to add one tea spoon of caster sugar to each bottle. The method I use for 6 bottles or 4.5 lts; is, to take off a cup of wine, add to it eight tea spoons of caster sugar, heat it so that the sugar is completely dissolved, let it cool, then add one pack of sparkling wine yeast and pour all back into the the demijohn and mix it in. When secondary fermentation starts then bottle it. Providing the first fermentation was complete, this will make a light sparkling wine. If you want more bobbles which is more pressure, then more sugar but you do take a risk with the bottle exploding. So be careful, make sure you use proper pressure bottles.
where did you buy hollow wine corks I don't see them in the U.S.
Arcstreams.
I should have said after the cider has settled in the large container, then bottle it and add a teaspoon of sugar and fix on the stopper. leave for a while to complete firmentation.It is then ready to drink but you need to open it carfully not to disturd the small amount of must. It is only how I did it and may not be to everyones taste.
How times can I less champagne in ice cub?
Hi Bernie. I followed your steps, crushed ice, salt, and well over 30 mins but the neck did not freeze. What could I be doing wrong?
+Jaime Camargo. Hi Jaime. what was the air temperature? When I have done it it has been cold so may be put them in the freezer for a while, say half an hour no longer you could freeze them otherwise. it should only take about 10 min max.
+Bernie Clark its above 90 here in sunny Florida, but I also tried putting it in the freezer.
+Jaime Camargo. 90 is hot.
Look into making a glycol neck bath in the freezer.
Jaime. I have just done another video in worm weather.
Hello, I've had my bottles upright for two weeks now, do I need to sit them on the side for two weeks then upside down for two weeks. Then do this process of removing? Could you please provide guidance? Thank you
Hi Nicole. You did not say what you are making wine or cider. For wine I leave it upside down for months It is in my shed so I leave it until the next winter and do it on a cold day. Last week I did 2016 and put some in the freezer for 10 minutes first. that worked fine.
Bernie Clark I'm sorry I'm making sparkling wine. So keep it upside down for maybe 3 months in a cold temperature the entire time it's downward?
Right now it's in my home on its side at room temp about 65 degrees
Hopefully you have measured the sugar. Just two tea spoon after you have tested with a hydrometer to see all the sugar has been converted. Then store tilted, 65 is OK but a bit cooler would be better. be sure them corks are wired on. It will be a mess if they blow off.
Bernie Clark thank you for your reply. I will move it to a cooler place maybe my basement... how could would be too cold? After my wine was dry, I added yeast and about 12g of sugar each bottle and I do have plastic cork and wire on.
I bought them here in UK from our local wine brew shop. Hows about Google it.
Thanks for watching.
