We've been really impressed with how good this one finishes. We both like wine a little off dry with some sweetness and this one always fits the bill with no back sweetening.
That's good to hear. It's definitely a lot slower than the Red Star yeasts we've used on these before, but I can already tell the aroma from the fruit is much stronger than what I recall with the others.
I did go back into your archives and saw your first wine videos, as I remember it was figs and grapes.. by the end I was laughing so hard because Lori looked fine, but poor Dwayne did so many takes getting it right that you were quite loopy almost silly 😂🤣😂🤣 at least you're a funny day drinker 🤣😂😂🤣😂
Terrific video.. I noticed someone already mentioned apple cider vinegar, I am very interested in learning to make it.. and also Kombucha. Thanks for sharing this one
We may eventually work on making apple cider vinegar, especially as the trees get bigger and our harvest follows. As for kombucha, Lori does make that and we did a video on it over on the Healthy Farm Living channel that I'll link for you here; ruclips.net/video/OOAa5Vev91E/видео.htmlsi=7fBZ8WfwQ3vSidXn
Great video guys! Your juicer is a real monster! I don’t see it on your Amazon store. Can you give us a brand and model number? The apple crushers out there are super expensive.
It's hard to find, but we have it tucked under the Kitchen Tools and Supplies list. It's a Breville Juice Fountain Elite and we've had it for many years. It's a bit more expensive due to the stainless bowl that we decided to buy, but if you're not using it daily that will still last you a long time. I'll link to the Elite for you here, so you can see what we use; amzn.to/4diwwGV And this is the same one with the plastic bowl instead of stainless; amzn.to/3yIOOlG
@@suzisaintjames we may need to give that a shot next year with all that extra material that we typically just feed to the animals. Plus, it would be even healthier for them once the ACV is done with it!
Hello, you wonderful people. Two things that interest me before I would tackle a DIY apple cider production : how to keep the alcohol %'age down to about 8 - 10% and if you could use an apple sort with higher fructose content, enough to not necessitate adding canesugar ? How much experimenting in this area have you done? It's 5 am here in Germany. Unfortunately I fell asleep waiting for the Livestream and now I'm awake. C'est la vie. 🍷🥂
First off, thank you for always commenting and encouraging us. All the way from Germany no less. It is much appreciated!! As for true cider, we have not attempted that, at least not yet. Our apples are usually on the tart side, so not quite as sweet as apples typically used , however they would still net us a pretty decent cider strength of about 8% alcohol! Maybe one of these years we'll give it a shot.
Wow, love this kind of content, thanks for that ❤. And nice educating video❤. This 4 varietes of apple trees you mentioned is summer apples and do you have some others?
Glad you enjoyed this one. I'm not aware of any other Summer apples that we are able to grow here. We do have a few other Fall varieties, but we have not been able to get the fruit to remain on the tree through our Summers.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm sorry, I meant all varieties of apple trees in general, not just summer ones. I caught you growing Gala. and why can't the autumn apples ripen in your place? Thanks
@@michaldurana4227 the main issues are the sunlight burning the apples and bird pressure. The trees also go into semi-dormancy during the summer months, so the apples are very small and don't ripen well if they do survive the birds. The other 2 varieties of Fall apples that we're trying are Jersey Mac and Wynoochie Early. No ripe fruit from them yet though.
You wine is so clear and sparkly!! I am curious how cool you keep the room you ferment in? This will be my first time trying to make wine. I cleaned and froze my grapes immediatly after picking, supplies have been purchased and ready to go. However, several internet sources say that you need to ferment below 75 degrees. Do you find that to be true? I am just north of you and keep my AC at 80.....do you think that is too warm? I'd love to get started soon, but can wait until fall if need be. It would be nice to get the grapes done now and then try pomegranate when they are ripe in the fall. Thanks for sharing the wine making video.
We are similar to you in our room temp during the summer keeping the house at 78 most of the time, but a little higher each day from 4pm - 7pm. We do ALL of our fermentations during the summer months. That includes both wine and veggie fermenting. We don't even attempt it during the cooler months as it's hard to get a strong fermentation out of it. One note, there are certain strains of yeast that do better in warm environments vs cold and vice versa. The yeasts you see us using are all warmer weather yeasts. Hopefully that helps!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Thank you. I picked yeasts at random, just an assortment. I'll do a bit of research and see what I have that works. That is a good point, my pickled veg and sauerkraut ferment fine during the summer. Yes, you are very helpful. I am excited to start my first batch!!
Do you get double blooming on your apples and do you allow them to fruit a second time? My Anna is putting off flower buds again. Trying to decide if I try to get an apple or two since I only got 4 this early summer
Cool stuff, wine making. We just put cider in 50 gal oak barrels and let it ferment. Not world class, but not bad. Uncle Dimy would run it thru a stove-top still for apple jack. BTW, at the farm, the solids were put up in the woods. there, all kinds of animals would eat them up. You do not never ever!, go up there for a few weeks. Mice want to attack you and skunks think they're kitty cats and like to be petted. 'Sides that, do you know how mean a deer with hangover is? Dang! When moving to town, all that, even making beer, stopped. Later, I started to make wine and beer. Hey, it paid for school clothes and so on and helped buy my first car. Years later, well after that time, friends asked me to make them some red wine. OK, I was cool about it. But you want it sweet or tart? Sweet, of course. Instead of buying grapes, I told them get consecrate for juice. One 5 gallon glass carboy, cans of concentrate, 2 cans water per can of cons., and fill it halfway up. Still working, it was partially racked and that went in beer bottles with the wire lock to make sparkling wine. the rest of it when done working, went in jugs and they took it. When we opened a bottle of sparkling, the top blew back and purple spots were all over the ceiling. We never did get that off the ceiling tiles. But, the wine was good.
They would do just fine as well. Just be sure to sanitize the cider before mixing in the yeast to make sure you don't have any bacteria in the ferment.
We tried a bread yeast this year as a test and it still seemed to do a good job. Not sure how the final product will turn out, but it did create alcohol for us.

I always say it, I’m not a wine guy, but fruit wines are the exception and that apple wine looked amazing, I imagine it’s very refreshing.
We've been really impressed with how good this one finishes. We both like wine a little off dry with some sweetness and this one always fits the bill with no back sweetening.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Do you have to add sugar ?
@@dirhuebor2429 you don't have to. We added some to increase the alcohol content, but it's not necessary.
Always very impressive and comprehensive. Your place has all the great things for great living.
Glad you enjoyed this one. It always amazes us that you can take fruit and turn it into wine.
That 1116 yeast is fantastic for all fruit wines use it on everything we make your wine looks great .
That's good to hear. It's definitely a lot slower than the Red Star yeasts we've used on these before, but I can already tell the aroma from the fruit is much stronger than what I recall with the others.
What a great life you're living! Cheers!
Cheers to that! 🍷
That looks great
It really is a fantastic white wine!
Thanks. I might give it a try. I drank some Apple Pie moonshine the other day, it was unbelievably good. I’d love to find the recipe for that.
Ooh, now apple pie moonshine would be VERY nice!
Apple wine! That sounds SO good! I wish you sold it.
Hey Taylor. I don't know whether or not we'll ever sell it, but if you make it out our way we'll make sure to share some with you!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm, you got a deal!

Can you make apple cider vinegar out of skins and pulp? 💕🌞🌵😷
As long as there is enough liquid still remaining I'm sure you could.
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm best I remember you don't need apple juice to make ACV. Skins, cores, water and sugar. 💕🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames we may need to give that a shot next year with all that extra material that we typically just feed to the animals. Plus, it would be even healthier for them once the ACV is done with it!

What's the difference between apple wine and hard cider? 💕🌞🌵😷
Basically the alcohol content. Wine is higher ABV than cider
It looks like somebody answered, but cider is lower in alcohol and usually has some carbonation.

Every once in a while that happens, but we've never had it set and ripen fruit on that second flower. You'll have to let us know if it ripens any!!
After fermentation over, how and where does it rest 3-4 month sir ?
We keep these in a closet we have designated for all of our wine fermentation.

Martin, your stories are great. I can only imagine you running around hustling kids with that home made hooch. Love it!!
What's fascinating is just how many apples it takes ???
Pretty crazy, huh? If we had a better press I imagine we would get a bit more liquid, but it still takes a bunch!
Are apples that have dropped ok?
They would do just fine as well. Just be sure to sanitize the cider before mixing in the yeast to make sure you don't have any bacteria in the ferment.
Lori, you have a toe ring! ;)
I do. That's actually been on my foot for almost 20 years and I have never taken it off. It says "Walk with Jesus". ❤️
I don't have yeast i just have bread yeast 😢
We tried a bread yeast this year as a test and it still seemed to do a good job. Not sure how the final product will turn out, but it did create alcohol for us.
@EdgeofNowhereFarm Its quality and taste is not the same as wine yeast, it has lower quality.
Of course, I have made some liquid yeast with raisins
