How to Make Strawberry Cider - Finishing and Bottling
Strawberry Cider, the long awaited finishing video for our Strawberry Cider. Yes, it's taken some time, but we believe it's worth it. Our Strawberry Cider required more steps than some brews so it took longer. Time is the one ingredient in brewing most people forget, and it's important for homebrew that you give it the time it needs.

Tasting Cheap Wine - Brian's Sweet Red Wine
So we've talked about them before, and today they join us to officially, on camera, taste my sweet red wine. The one made with bread yeast! Yeah, yeah, bread yeast doesn't make anything good, sure sure.

This may not be the most scientific tasting, but... it was fun.

City Steading VIP Club - What's in it for You? Did you know we have a VIP Club? It's a community of City Steaders or Steadheads that hangs out together, asks questions, learns new things, and helps each other to grow and learn more about brewing (and gardening and cooking!). It's primarily a Facebook based group but there are ZOOM meetings too where we all get to chat and talk face to face. Derica and Brian are always there, always watching (creepy, right?) and jump in to help whenever they can. The Moderators, Stacey, Paul, Adam and Kenny are all super informed and also help out with questions. In all it's a very helpful community where like minded people come together in a place where there are no dumb questions and everyone learns something.

We taste one year old wine and mead to see if there's a difference. We started this test well over a year ago, and the first time around, the mead won hands down for flavor and quality. Well, how much difference does a year make? Aged mead vs aged wine, is one better?
This is not a conclusive or scientific test, just an elderberry wine vs elderberry mead that we made. In this particular scenario we had a preference, but your mileage may vary and different meads and wines may have different results.

Our Viking Blood 2020 is about ready for the next phases. We're going to take hydrometer readings, rackit, and bottle it. We'll show you everything we did to this mead to bring out all the flavors we wanted along with what we like or don't like. Vikings Blood 2020 - Continued!
As we said in the making of Viking Blood 2020 video, this is loosely based on a 13th century recipe for mead, cherry mead, to be exact. It's not likely Vikings, as we know them, ever made or even drank it since they were gone over 200 years by then.
I have learned from some of our fans that cherries did indeed grow in Denmark at that time though, so it's possible cherry mead was made far longer than the 13th century recipe would suggest. Though... the name... would the Vikings call it "Viking Blood"? We may never know.
Additions:
3/4 lb Orange Blossom Honey: https://amzn.to/2KoJIl7
1 lb Dried Cherries (we rinsed ours with hot water to get the sunflower oil off, it is best to find ones without oil if you can): https://amzn.to/36TUwzo

How to make milk kefir! Milk kefir is similar to yogurt in that it is cultured milk. I started drinking milk kefir to help with my acid reflux. Probiotics and the lactic acid both work well to help the burning and irritation. In this video I teach you how to make healthy, all natural milk kefir for yourself.

How to make Chai Gruit - Spiced Ancient Beer. We did a tasting of a gruit a few months ago and the overwhelming response to that was... "Show us how to make a gruit!". So, here it is. Full instructions on how to make a gruit ale using an all grain method. It's actually very similar to making beer. We decided to use chai spices like used for tea to flavor it and add the bittering and tannic properties we wanted.
