    Great video as always. I started out my fermentation experience with sourdough then shortly after finding your channel made tepache then cider then beer and now kombucha and mead. Going to try making fermented pickles this year with cucumbers from my garden. Thanks for all the great inspiration and information.

    I would say table sugar is more stable/ predictable than some of the other types of sugar, at least in my experience. The only time I ever got a bottle bomb was from mixing different sugars because I ran out of corn sugar and wasn’t sure how much to add of raw cane sugar as my substitute for priming a batch of beer.

    Yeah, even if you get right by saying... cider there always gotta mistakes that you didn't realise. I got some instance that was either too sour or just too sweet in general.
    So, this is quite useful video to let brewers know this.

  • @RegicideBrewing

    Another good video Trent. Question about your use of table sugar. Does this work better than Dextrose? If I were to build a recipe where I’m going to use dextrose, is it a one for one swap with table sugar? For example: if it calls for 1 pound of dextrose, I can just use table sugar? If this is true, then I’m doing that from now on because I already have table sugar haha.!

    • @TheBruSho
      @TheBruSho  5 месяцев назад +1

      I usually swap dextrose and table sugar 1:1 but I have seen in my beer/other ferments that dextrose is more fermentable (gets more dry) so you could probably use a little less than you would table sugar. But really there is no difference so use whichever you got

      @finntheraven 2 месяца назад +1

      It can use other sugars, but has different names. If you use honey, it's called "jun". And table sugar could be from either sugar beets or sugar cane, and both sources should be perfectly fine.

      @@oglothenerd it's not like I'm making the word up. Feel free to look up "jun (drink)" on wikipedia. Not only can honey be used, it has been used successfully to the point a word exists for its use. And honey is used for other fermentation like mead, fermented honey garlic and so on.

    I would like to know the percentage range of the active fruit water yeast starter that need to be added to certain volume of he fruit juice.
    Also, do we need to adjust the % if we are fermenting mango juice vs. lemonade.

    • @TheBruSho
      @TheBruSho  5 месяцев назад

      That’s a tough one since every fruit is a little different. But using something like a refractometer which measures sugar content can help you get a better idea of how sugar a juice or fruit might be. Then you can start to play around with amounts to find the perfect amount for your taste

      I have not tried that hop yet so I can’t say. But I would start light and taste and if you aren’t getting enough flavor try adding a little more. Looks like it’s also described as “sweet fruit” which could be fantastic

      It’s not an instant death but it will greatly reduce the bacteria’s growth and stunt it. I think long term exposure to direct sunlight will kill it

    can i ask you about a concern i have about one of your shown recipes (due my own mistake)
    i'm trying to do the "boozy chai" you posted recently but i tried to make the infusion of tea myself instead of buying it,except when i followed the recipe online i accidentally added some milk (200ml) because i realized too late it was the full tea instead of just the infusion
    i did everything just like shown,will it be safe to drink or is there any risk?

    Be careful with plastic bottles. Make sure you follow his instructions and chill when the bottle gets slightly firm. Plastic bottles can explode and it is not safe. I know this from making root beer. It was crazy!!!
