That banana wine.. ready to rack and bottle? Let's hope. People thought banana wine was a little weird. I've made this before, and though it does take some aging, banana wine is pretty good! Even very good! It's commonly made in many countries. Bananas are so naturally sweet, and contain lots of things yeast like, nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. They make for a really nice fermentation.

Strawberry Jam Wine was supposed to be cloudy they said! We need pectic enzyme they said! Hmm? Really? Anyway, check out how our wine made from strawberry preserves came out. Yes, I know it's not jam, but jam just sounds better.

How to Make Beer - Brewer's Best Dunkleweizen Kit Beer Review. I'm not a beer kit kinda guy. I much prefer all grain brewing, but I know not everyone feels the same. So, we got a kit of a Dark Wheat Beer, a Dunkleweizen from Brewer's Best and decided to give it a try. Now, if you're new to beer brewing, I highly suggest watching this video, as I explain a lot of the procedures that the instructions in the kit left out. To me, a kit is nice if you've never brewed before, but after that... following a beer recipe and using all grain methods is cheaper and in my opinion, makes a better beer.

How to Read a Hydrometer - Why are they so Confusing? Was your specific gravity reading a 1.02 or a 1.002 or a 1.020 or a 1.200? I don't know who designed their graph, but... let me explain how it works to you. Reading a hydrometer correctly is a fundamental skill in homebrewing. It's not just for calculating your ABV anymore!

How to make Mead - Acerglyn - Maple Syrup Mead. People have been asking pretty much since our very first mead video if they can make mead with maple syrup. The answer is yes, but you still need honey too or it's wine, not mead. When you combine honey with maple syrup in a mead, it's called an Acerglyn. I didn't make it up, no. It's just a type of mead. Some people call it maple mead, or maple syrup mead, or just plain mead! Well, the truth is maple syrup isn't all that great at fermenting and need some help. We're not into additives here so I came up with some natural additives to not only give the yeast something more to work with, but also add more complexity and flavor to the mead.

Super Simple Cyser. Or Apple Mead. How to make mead! Today we're showing you how to make mead, more accurately, cyser. Mead is made from honey and water, while cyser is apple juice (cider to us Americans) and honey. Technically that makes it a melomel, which is any mead with added fruit, but... let's be honest, there are dozens of types of mead. This is actually a really simple recipe, all you need is honey, apple juice and yeast. Get apple juice that has no preservatives and I try for the bottle with the least ingredients, today's juice said, "Ingredients: Apple Juice", that works for me. I also used a local wildflower honey. Sure, some will say various flavors of honey will affect the final product, and they are right, but, so will apple juice. Make sure to use quality ingredients and get a good yeast. I used Danstar Belle Saison for this, but Safale S04 is good too. To learn more, see our website at http://www.city-steading.com.
Recipe:
2 lbs of warmed honey
1 gallon of apple juice (roughly)
1/2 t yeast
Hydrate yeast with some apple juice in a separate container. Set aside. Mix juice and honey in a sanitized carboy after adding all the honey and enough juice to fill the vessel half way. This step is important to incorporate all the honey before the carboy is too full to mix. Fill with the rest of the juice to about where the jug starts to curve to leave head space. Add hydrated yeast to the carboy. Fill airlock as indicated with sanitized water and close the carboy. Watch airlock for activity and wait for your cyser to ferment. Rack, bottle and enjoy!
