Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- We constantly see things in the store and think, "Can we make mead or wine with that?". We also would love to be able to make all the varietals of wine from the grapes, and every once in a while... we find one. This time it was muscat grapes, so.... MOSCATO!

The fact y'all put out one of these a week is kind of insane. Loving the videos!
We do this for a living 😀
That new fermenter is like Mary Poppins purse lol😂
LOL
Lmao 😂
I have no plans to make wine or beer or mead - EVER - but I watch all your videos. The new scoring system is definitely an improvement on the improvement on the previous one!
Lol, thanks!
The “but” was quite hilarious. Way more funny then smiling and laughing like the child I am then with a mouth full of hot coffee like I did lol gunna be one of those days 😅
Oops! Sorry!
I agree the pitcher is a priceless must have for anyone who wants to get serious with home brewing. Yes it seems a little pricey, but it is totally worth it. This thing is SO well engineered. Short of the ability to make wine in a TARDIS, this is the thing you need.
My wife and I just moved to Florida, on the drive I had a playlist of my favorite videos of you guys and listened to you guys most of the way from Arizona! I cannot WAIT to start brewing in my new house and am secretly hoping to run into you guys at a random publics! Fingers crossed! Haha thank you guys so much for all you have taught the community and for just bein you! Stay Shiny guys!
Where in Fl?
@@CitySteadingBrews We are in Ruskin, Fl!
Bought the pitcher last year and I absolutely love it. Helps in many aspects of home brewing. Thank you for suggesting it.
Love the pitcher. I was initially hesitant because of the price, but you forget about the money. If you buy cheap tools, they bother you every time you use them. Nice ones you love them every time you use them.
Love the channel, thank you!
Very true. We've had a few cheap pitchers, and probably paid more for all of them than the one good one!
Hi from merry old England. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your videos, they are always educational and entertaining.
I'm trying my first traditional mead, inspired by you both.
God bless.
Enjoy! Welcome aboard.
The pitcher really is great! Bought mine through their recommendation, when I make small batches of brew I use this pitcher everytime!
Whenever I've seen "Moscato" wine, I always remember my grandfather making muscadine wine. I know they aren't at all the same thing, but memory is a tricky thing some times. Now I think I need to get a hold of some muscadines from back home and make some wine.
Yup, I used to get them confused too!
Stop in at a store that sells tons of different jellies and preserves. You should be able to find some Muscadine jelly there. My granny used to make a lot of Muscadine jelly. It's still my favorite.
Love the Pitcher!!!
I bought one of those pitchers and its by FAR the best pitcher ive ever purchase. I would absolutely buy another.
Awesome video as always, thanks Brian and Derica!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching 👍
I love my raised letter pitcher! It is involved in so many things in my life now.
I love my pitcher that I got from this channel!!
I’ve been using sparkloid for years and it’s my preferred way. Especially with 5-6gal batches.
Feel I need to say sorry for my math nerd husband
Great looking fermenter and yes I hate to admit it I have the pitcher and it’s awesome
I bought and love the pitcher!
i have 2 of those pitchers yes they are great
Love the pitcher - both sizes!
I never tried a Moscato wine until I was in Italy. It is definitely one of my favorites.
Yes, the pitcher ❤ is well worth the investment. It has cured my "chronic spillitis!" 😊
I would love to make wine in my incredible pitcher with a handle and raised letter, but I'll settle to make wine in a tardis. Haha - I really do love my pitcher though. A must for any brewer!!
That pitcher is awesome!!!!
It really is the best pitcher ever.
Ok, I'm really digging that fermenter. Light weight, space saving, AND has a handle!
I'd like to make this, but use my white grape juice instead of water to fill it up.
Just need to find the grapes!
Thanks guys❤
That would alter the sg, so plan accordingly.
@@CitySteadingBrews that was definitely part of the plan
I LOVE MY PITCHER!!! ❤❤❤
The pitcher is awesome. I got one shortly after you showed it in a video.
moscato is my fave type of wine so I was especially thrilled to see this video, can't wait to get a chance to try this recipe out :D ty again!
Cool! Hope you like it!
Another excellent video once again you guys did a great job. Keep up the good work. Have a great week.
Im obsessed with my plastic picture and spaddle!
Making wine in a Tardis 😂
I added the new fermenter to my shopping cart for my next order. I won't use it right away as I've had really good luck making wine in a tardis, so I'll just continue doing it that way. It eliminates the need for a blow off tube.
I LOVE the pitcher! I’ve seen it on other channels too. Very handy!
I have the pitcher and it is frigen great!
I made a muscat pyment last year. It is quite literally not only my favorite wine I've ever made, but hands down my favorite wine overall.
Awesome!
I'm a fan of Moscato grape wine. 🙂
Making wine ins a Tardis is the best type of wine.
GET THE PITCHER!! Legit IS the best pitcher EVER!! I use mine for all sorts of applications so much so I bought a 2nd one for just brewing wines! That’s how good they are! They even sell smaller volume ones as well!
Lol
Love your videos. Keep it up!. I just made some lemongrass Mead. Based on your recipes. The only thing I did differently was I replaced the water with lemongrass tea. I grow the lemongrass myself and just steep it in hot water. It was amazing!. Second favorite Mead ever! To get it more lemony I would add some zest of lemon.
Lucky you found those grapes! Very well done guys
Thanks!
Looks like Moscato love!
lol, I wonder how many will get that joke.
Kind of like muscrat-oh love
@@CitySteadingBrews👋 I got it!🤭
I love my pitcher!!! Hubby actually bought one himself for iced tea, hoping it would make for less mess. Kidlets struggle with a full pitcher. I can't wait to us it when i make wine in a TARDIS.
Making wine in a tardis has been added to my bucket list! 😅
Lol
Nice! I was worried without the use of Pectic Enzymes, glad to see everything turnt out beautifully. ✌🏽😎👍🏽
It's not always needed.
I purchased a 6 glln German Riesling kit about a month ago. I am making a 2 gallon batch of it first. The initial gravity was less than what it should have been in the instructions so I added Honey to bring up the Gravity 20 points.
I racked on the 4th of July, It has a great taste.
I love that you make wine in a Tardis... so unique in the brewing community - i
Glad you enjoy it!
Have the pitcher - it is awesome!
The pitcher is amazing. Makes all the things easier. Also found a Pyrex that's similar. No more wasting...🎉
got the pitcher, its awesome for 1 gal batches. waiting on my spaddle
It really is!
Here in Rochester we are able to get cotton candy grapes and will try this recipe and see how it comes out 🙏🏻👍🏻 great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☘️
Great video as always, very informative. Muscato is my wife's favorite... guess what's on the list.
I also used your video to make strawberry wine for our 4th party, themed 1776 (so homemade was the way to go), and it was a big enough hit I'll have to make it again if I want any more. Thank you for all you do...
Happy to help!
I do not have the exact same pitcher. But I do have one very similar: 5 litre and graduated (printed and raised). And yes, it's awesome.
Fun scoring system. I only write in green so Cheers 😉
That’s a damn good pitcher
Make wine in the tardis with the raised edge pitcher! I do own that (bought through you guys btw thanks!) And can confirm while it seems like a little thing the raised numbers make a significant difference
i did my frist fermentation a few days a go, i let it sit only for 3 days, coz i don't have the right fermenter, but, it tasted great, besides litle to no alchool :D and now i know i can do it, i will by some proper gear to do a few things
:D
Put grapes in paper bags and shake lightly until they fall off the stems.. then check for raisins
My wife finally asked me for an immersion blender for making soup in the pot. Sounds like it'll make short work of those grapes.
If you prefer. I find that makes a looser lees to rack from.
Even though you mistakenly said glycerin instead of gelatin a few times, a touch of glycerin might have actually worked when you were back sweetening and calling it out as a little flat. Nice find at the store with those grapes!
I have 2 of them pitchers as my wife took the first..
Appriciate your videos and get a ton of ideas and information of use in my own Brewing. Love the fact you try brews from different countries, like Kilju from my home country Finland. Now i have a challenge for you to make Retsina, a pine wine from Greeece. :)
It's a spaddle. It works and it's fun. Pour some sugar in it and use the spaddle.
Have you and Derica ever considered the "Norpro 1951 - The Original Sauce master" found on Amazon? For making wine I added "The Original Berry Screen" to use with grapes, cherries, blackberries, and so on. I made my Blackberry Mead, with everything you two have taught me, and it removed the seeds and left just enough of the skins for the tannins. The left overs can then be placed in a small brew bag and placed in primary, if desired, then easily removed later to get every last bit of goodness. So much easier to rack because the skins fall quickly in with the lees. Just a thought, but I do not use fresh berry fruit for fermenting without it. Perfect for making jam too.
You can. We actually wanted the skins though.
I understand, however, you might be surprised with the results. Thanks for listening.
I'm glad he's mashing them with his hands and not his feet
Yeah, that would be awkward on camera...
@@CitySteadingBrewsfreaky people pay good money for awkward 😂
@MrJim5280 yeah... still not doing it. 🤪
@@CitySteadingBrewsNo homage to Lucy?
Wow, those gloves. I'm writing down the instructions for using Sparkalloid: "Add water then heat the mixture to ... the temperature .... of the sun!!!" Either that or after the video you become the Wichita Lineman !!!
When you made wine in your TARDIS isn’t ready yesterday?
Lol
I just got one of those fermenters delivered today. I need to put a POLICE BOX logo on it because this thing must be a TARDIS! I used your favorite pitcher with the raised numbers to measure it out and yeah 5L fits in there. Cherry Cheesecake Mead will probably be the first thing I brew in it.
Tardis wine!
These cylinder airlocks are silent. Here in estonia they produce also these small ones. Love these.
I brew in a small appartement and when i feel sick from these blublublu... And blu blu sounds i stick cylinder ones on. S-type airlock is almost silent on Glass fermenters but as i do 16-24l batches i use big buckets and on buckets s-type airlocks are noisy af. And when i have 3 buckets going.. crazy talkatives.
Damn, I need that fermenter in my life...
Every vineyard in Australia foot stomps some batches especially one off low volume juice usually reds as you need the skins.
Yup, some places in the world still do it.
If you cook its easier to brew as season to taste and sweeten to taste makes sense. Yea, when ya are doing a lot of brewing, notes and a checklist are your best friend.
Great and informative video... As italian coming from Piemonte, the motherland of moscato, i can say this "creative" way of fermenting addind water and sugar it's far away from the traditional way this wine Is made but i'm glad it brought good results for you. I'd like to ask which kind of moscato wine actually inspired this episode, there Is the "tapporaso" (literally "Cork all in the bottle neck") semi fermented wine with 5% abv and natural sweetness from the partial fermentation or the second kind, normally called Asti wine (from Asti city) normally demisec or dry champagne style wine.
Thanks for your videos and keep fermenting
Great video good job 👍 I hope you guys will do a smoked or grilled sweet potato mead or with blue agave nectar thank you for your time .
We did make agave wine: czcams.com/video/NHZfXCykCJk/video.htmlsi=XxCrLL-r7hc5sihY
Love the pitcher! The pouring spot is fabulous! The raised numbers on the outside are so easy to read. Question, I’ve noticed that you haven’t been using FermaidO recently. If I missed the video of why, I apologize. Just wondering (not criticizing).
We just started going a little more simplified. We are not seeing a difference to be honest!
Best pitcher there is! New fermenter is good, but really wish they'd make it with clear plastic instead so you can see better.
That would be better for sure.
I got my pitcher and hellz bellz that thing is great. It takes most of the guesswork out of bottling. It's also rather sturdy so I don't have to be concerned about any deformation while pouring. My biggest problem is keeping my husband from using it for something else. I might have to get him his own.
“Butt” 😂
The discussion about acid "pop" made me recite d mob's " acieed"
In reference to a brew bag, I wonder if you put 3 or 4 weights in first and tied the bag to minimize headroom? If the bag can’t inflate since it is tied just above the fruit it can’t generate lift by inflating the bag. In order to lift 4 glass weights it would need to have about a quart of displaced liquid. Being tied at the fruit would not leave room to hold a quart of gas.
Sure if you want. I just prefer not using a bag.
my favo channel on youtube :D
Aww, thanks!
@@CitySteadingBrews Just wanna say it's impressive how you guys make so many videos from a wines start to finish. Meaning you don't just make a wine and leave people wondering how it turns out but actually wait for weeks and put start middle and end together. Time after time!
Glad you appreciate it. IMO, making it and not finishing it is doing a disservice to the viewers. They need to see the finished product, or else.... did it work? 😁
Gotta try fermenting in a tardis. That pitcher is the jam, I love ho sturdy the handle is an how easy it is to see how much is in it.
😀👍
Tardis, tardis, tardis!
Video topic: Fix too sweet wine.
I purchased some sweet kosher wine for passover but got way too much. I don't like sweet wine so what I did was mix with grape juice and re-fermented down to dry. Oak helped too.
Dilution is all you can do really.
You should "Make wine in a Tardis"
Just got Cotton Candy grapes from Costco , let’s see what it will taste after fermentation 🤞🏻🙏🏻☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Moscatcity... the level of Moscato-ness..
Lol
Am I the only one who noticed at 15:14 the OG was 1060, but then at 17:44 when Brian does his calculation for current ABV he uses 1080 rather than the 1060 they actually measured??
I'm still watching in case he corrected this later in the video.
Edit: Wasn't ever corrected. Not that there's an issue, but they're off by 3% ABV based on the wrong OG Brian wrote down on his handy-dandy paper. Cheers!
Because the grapes add more sugars and they had not extracted yet. We did talk about it.
Okay, so first of all, I love you guys. I have done several of your brews, and have had largely desirable outcomes. I have a few questions: (1) my mulberry wine came out tasting a little watery at completion. Original specific gravity was around 1.110 and ended at .992, so I know the ABV is in the desired range, but it still tastes a little thin/watered down. I am wondering if there is something that I can do to give it a bit more substance/enhanced flavor before bottling. (2) What should I do to properly cure used wood to avoid contaminating future brews if I want to reuse wood. Thanks, in advance!
You can oak it or add tannin to improve mouthfeel. Dry the wood fully. Even in a low temp oven if need be.
I like the new fermenter. Two quick questions. The tap is not included. Is there some kind of opening where the tap would go or is it just a solid jug and if a tap is desired then a hole would be required to install the tap? Is the grommet diameter compatible with the other airlocks that we typically use?
You would need to cut a hole for a tap. Standard hole for airlocks with a grommet 👍
@@CitySteadingBrews Great, thanks!
Can you add black te for tanins after primary fermentation?
Yes you can.
I made some wine late last year, it tasted amazing but I have 1 bottle left and it has a thick white film on top. This also happened to the second batch I still have in the fermentor right now. Best guess, what could it be? Actually smells good.
Could be brettanomyces, could be kahm yeast or could be mold but I doubt it.
I am using sparkelloid and I thought it was agar agar and DE. It seems to work on almost anything.
Yup, that's pretty much what I said. an alginate and DE.
My question for todays installment is "What is cold crashing? I know you have talked about it before, but I don't understand the reason for this method? Now, I need to find these grapes.....lol
czcams.com/video/M3cGti0-2jQ/video.htmlsi=dJOrzAffaBvQ_xx9
I have said pitcher but mine is different it has raised Red metallic measurements and it's a 5 litre.
I can answer that one! 😂
How did I put twice as much honey in to sweeten? Allowing myself to get distracted. Now I have five bottles of mead that taste like a kid's cough syrup!
Don't remember but have y'all made a muscadine wine? A real southern traditional muscadine wine? Would be really cool if you did.
No, but same idea.
lol.... before he added the yeast I'm like initial gravity.... initial gravity...... NONONONONO!!!!!!
Where did buy the moscato grape ?
Whole Foods, like we said in the video 👍
add campden to fight against the oxidation at second racking
Nah, we have never used preservatives and have yet to have a problem.
