Another very informative video.
Thank you for showing us.
All the best!!.
John.
I love that you speak of the value of the more general yeast for most home wines. A lot of you-tubers insist that you MUST use this brand or that when I have had a lot of success with regular wine yeast. great post to clear up a popular argument. Cheers.
Great vid, I now purchase all my yeast from Cross my loof , after recommendation from yourself some time ago.
I don't know if you can answer this but I've been having a problem with fruit wines. I've only been doing the hobby two years and have a lot to learn. The first first wine I made was a raspberry and it came out wonderful, you could really taste the fruit. However since then I have made multiple fruit ones, blueberry, strawberry x2, blackberry and pineapple. The problem is that these have all packed flavour during and after fermentation but after a while in secondary they lose almost all their flavour. It's so mild that you can either kind of tell what it's supposed to be or you can't. I honestly have no idea why this is happening and how to recreate my first success two years ago.
I've been using Youngs yeast after watching your videos. So far so good 👍 I'm a total newbie
Dood thanks for sharing & making vids. Cool content.
I love Crossmyloof yeast , it's a great price and works really well for me in beers, nice one cheers 👍🍷
thanks for show us
Nice vid.
Hey, great video again, even though I knew all the info already. I want to ask you about how to store large opened packets of dry yeast. I intend on buying half a kilogram of yeast as it is a lot cheaper than buying separate sachets. I am concerned about how to store it though. Can I freeze the opened packet and for how long will it last? Also can I freeze it down to -30°c as thats what i have set on my freezer.
What is your openion about using DADY yeast (Distillers Active Dry Yeast)?
I watched your tea wine video and was looking through your other playlist. I've come across this wine making 101 (because I am a novice at this). I have two questions, 1.) I am in the states so the yeast chart that you showed in the descriptions are all the yeast Universal on this side of the pond? 2.) What would be the best yeast to use in a tea wine? Thank you in advance
Prices vary a lot. Its £12 for VinClasse Super Wine Yeast 250g which makes it about 19p a teaspoon then there's Youngs Super Wine Yeast 60g which works out 50p a teaspoon. Is the 2nd one really worth paying 2.6 times more for it?
How would I go about making marsala wine? Special yeast?
Does anybody know if there is a Young's general purpose yeast equivalent in the states?
Is there a way home brewers can make a sparkling wine without getting sediment? This series of vids has been very helpful .
Very good question, I'll eb sure to cover this. The nature and method of making sparkling wine means that you will always have a certain amount of sediment in the bottle, and this is why champaigne bottles are the shape they are. The dimple in the bottom, called the punt, helps the sediment move up the neck of the bottle and away from the wine. . . That initial pop and spurt of champers / sparkling wine expels the sediment :)
Strange, that chart doesn’t specifically list grapes. But what about for making sake? Is there a substitute for koji? Is koji a yeast, nutrient, or both?
Now i wanna make sherry.
Can you do a video about saving and reusing yeast? Each scahe packet cost 3 Pounds here. The big packet cost 70 pounds.
Good point. Brewing is not always dirt cheap and i like to save where i can
Can the general purpose yeast be used, for say nettle beer too?
It can indeed, I used it in my last batch of nettle beer!
I LOVE your Wine Making 101 series! But I must say that on this video the booger on the edge of your right nostril was a bit distracting...
