Brian, I made a spiced methlygn and meant to only add a couple tablespoons of granulated orange peel to try for that Christmas flavour. I screwed up and added 2 cups. I was worried I had nuked my brew. But the intense citrus punch and the warmth from the spices. Cloves, cinnamon, all spice berries. Is Delightful! You could easily mull this and serve warm in a cup with a nice little portion of fruit stew. A very happy accident indeed!

@@TigerPat_9180 - I hurt my back in August, the treatments and injections didn’t work so I had surgery in January. Unfortunately, when nerves are badly pinched for six months they tend to go postal on you when they’re released (pain very similar to an amputee’s phantom pain). The nerves need to re-learn what signals to send instead of just firing off pain signals. So… lots of physical therapy now to regain proper functions to my leg (the nerves that were pinched affect the leg) and slowly starting physical therapy for my back now as well. That means being at some therapist or other four times a week and using a walking stick. Not even allowed to lift a full 1-gallon jug and utter horror on my therapist’s face when I was talking about cleaning bottles to rack a few brews that have cleared. That got nixed until further notice. Working through it all, but determined to heal and to start taking big bites out of life again soon. And to get back to work. And back to brewing! If I can give anyone just one piece of advice, it’s to take care of one’s health. Especially your back. A blown lumbar disc can really mess you up. I’m glad I live in a country with not only excellent neurosurgeons and hospitals, but a healthcare system that doesn’t bankrupt me. Stay safe and healthy. And happy brewing!

You should ask your beekeeper friend for some propolis and bee bread (pollen stored in comb). It gives mead a totally different flavor and is likely how it was made by our ancestors. The bee bread gives mead a slight beer-ish flavor I think you would find interesting. Just remember to refrigerated the bee bread untill you are ready to use it. Propolis can be dried in a sunny windowsill and crushed. It has a tree resin/piney flavor.

My first thought was tequila or Mescal, but not surprised when you brought out Derica's favorite liqueur and Brian's favorite distilled wine. I am not a huge tequila fan, but do prefer mescal or tequila aged in bourbon barrels and drink it as is. Probably would not taste good in something like this.

Something that you could try when fortifying, or adding any liquid, like you did with minimizing the aeration would be to use one of those thin flexible cutting boards to pour against. They roll up to where they could easily fit in the different fermenters while also easily being able to be sanitized and cleaned. I have used them for years as makeshift homemade funnels when I couldn't find my proper funnel. Spoons work for small openings also. Love your videos, blessings on your great and informative work.

Seems like a fancy novelty gift to use when visiting a brewery but I very much liked it. But last year I learned that I could use it to force carbonate my brewed liquids in about 2-3 days. (There are videos on KZitem). Now when I brew beer, I save 64oz from bottling for the Ukeg. Works great and it is now one of my major brewing implements. Might be an option if you want to Carbonate your high gravity sangria. Love what you guys do.

@kellybrockington4553 we prefer oak chunks... the barrels can leak and cause oxidation. For this recipe though.... oak wasn't something we wanted, but! We have oaked many things.

TRBOS doesn’t get the screen time he deserves because y’all and his agent haven’t come to an agreement. 😂

Man... i don't know how you guys get primary fermentations that complete in 2-3 weeks. My first 4 mead batches are on their 4th and 6th weeks and they're nowhere near done lol

Hi - its been a while since you responded to questions but trying any ways. 1) how did you come up with that estimate of ~16% ABV mentioned somewhere after fortification as on video you did not use any further gravity tests ( which I imagine wouldnt be possible at that point) and refractometers won't work if alcohol present? 2) Why wait one full year on Sangria for final tasting? Sangria is usually made with pretty youthful wine to begin with - is it the mouthfeel issue as a result of adding tannins - getting things a bit less harsh? How about tasting it sooner ? I am starting this recipe soon and may use epazote spice in stead of cinnamon.

Erm... we haven't missed a comment in a year but... to answer you: It's a result of fortification as shown in the video using the abv and volumes of the liquids. We do one year tastings for everything. Tannins add mouthfeel, yes. Was not an issue as this is possibly our highest rated brew ever 😀👍

@@CitySteadingBrews Thanks So did you use a Pearsons Square to get that ABV?

I know you said you dont like the specific acid in the grapejuice but its hard to find without it. Is there anything else you suggest looking out for specifically when it comes to your juices? (Have only done like 8 or so batches so far, and its all been Mead, so im new to introducing juices lol) OH secondary question - is there a reason to add the tannins in before fermentation apposed to during tasting? (When not following your recipes)

We just avoid preservatives. As for tannins, you can add them anytime really.

I'm curious about something. Is your sanitization bucket made of food grade material. Or does that matter for such things?

It is I believe? But for sanitizing it shouldn't matter.

I live in Spain. In Spain (home of sangria?) Fermaid O is on the same shelf as The Holy Grail, Peter Pan and Lord Lucan. Is there an alternative please?
