How do I clear semolina wine
Here here! We all learned from the hobbies and passions of our parents, whatever that may have been; I grew up making elderflower wine and mead with my grandparents, and this knowledge didn't turn me into an alcoholic. If anything, it encouraged my passion for science, garnered a respect for the craftsmanship, and an understanding of alcohol potency. Please keep sharing your knowledge, my friend, to your son and us! 🙏🏼
If Ron is taught to respect alcohol and appreciate it at a young age, he will carry those lessons on into adulthood. The UK has an issue with binge drinking and I feel that the reason behind this is that alcohol is seen as something...naughty or forbidden in our society. Look at countries like Italy where children are introduced to wine at a young age, or Germany where I rarely see anyone paraletic when I visit. It's because, I think, that people have been introduced at a young age and it's seen as a normal thing to drink in moderation with a meal etc. It's appreciated, as opposed to just something to get drunk with. By introducing him to winemaking...the process, and how to appreciate wine, Ron will likely have a very normal relationship with alcohol when he grows up. You go for it, James.
I think, besides suggesting something about their view or readiness for parenting, it also reveals his/her own unhealthy or immature relationship with and use of alcoholic drinks.
when I try to make payment your program puts me in a loop and I can't make payment
I’ve made this Brandy Wine before. The recipe I used said to leave it for 3 years when bottled, ,I have to say I never managed to keep it 3 years.
I've been making home made wine for over 10 years and my 14 and 16 yr old girls have been with me. They've helped me pick berries, add sugar, watch the bubbles coming from the air lock etc etc. 10 years my girls have helped me. My 16yr old got 8's, 7's and 6's in her GCSEs the other day. She has been educated in school and in life. The oldest tried a wee nip of my wine once and said it was disgusting.... she's never touched a drop since. They still want to get involved as its somerhing they enjoy, spending even more time with their daddy. Pal, your son will grow up with a bit of common sense. He will learn to enjoy alcohol responsibly, hopfully educate others as most likely they'll be going out at the weekend, and getting completely wasted. Nobody is perfect. We just do the nest we can for our family. 😊
Sadly, there are some seriously uptight, rigid & bitter people out there James. The creativity, the fun and the educational moments I've watched you have with your boy are lovely, and most definitely mentally nourishing for him😊 keep doing what you do mate🙏
It’s science!! I know a lot of people here in America that teach there kids how to make wine. How do they think family recipes get passed down. Keep rockin brother!! Cheers amigo!!!!
Could not agree with you more. And obviously, I have no idea who that commentator is , but here in the US the urge for Prohibition and temperance is still with us... and that may very well be where that comment was coming from. We know that when parents don't treat innocent activities as illicit or inappropriate for children, their children don't sneak off to the rooms or their friends to engaqe in such activities. It's when adults call an activity such as wine making only for "grown-ups", children in their desire to feel "grown-up" will far more likely engage in those activities secretly with their peers...
My fondest memory of my grandfather is helping him to make wine. Your son will look back fondly on these precious memories.
I was up on the kitchen counter observing and learning from the moment I could sit upright. I was there when dad made beer, when mum made, sour kraut, kombucha, kefir. There was sourdough in the house. And lots and lots of cooking. All from scratch. My nan made juniper drink, honey water, etc, etc.... By no means was I allowed to drink any of the alcohol. And I wasn't a huge fan of fermented veg at that age. But the skills, were passed on and have served me well all my life. I didn't even brew beer until the age of 59....! But I had a fair idea what to ecpect and the process. I've been fermenting stuff for myself since I was 10 or 12. As you said, it's science and life skills.
That commenter is obviously a bit of a DIV, good for you, my kids are interested when I make my wine, when I hunt, in fact most of my hobbies to be honest, nothing wrong with it in the slightest keep doing what you're doing, excellent content.
Well put indeed I brewed with my grandfather and my father ( it was a activity at the time I didn’t relate it to alcohol while I was young ) just spending quality time with loved ones and I now love brewing myself. I have a healthy relationship with alcohol and respect it. Great video and I agree with all the content cheers 👍🍻
Totally with you. Children love to learn; it doesn't matter what. Any skills they can pick up whilst having fun is beneficial. Always be open with a child, because as soon as you prohibit them they'll work around you to find out why. I asked my chemistry teacher for the formula of nitro-glycerine, he wrote it out for the whole class; I've never made any... why would I? Never hold a child back, because they're going to learn either with or without you.
I think it is absolutely marvelous to see a parent or parents engaged with a child in any subject or educational experience. It is better that children are the product of their parent's teachings rather than the product of indoctrination from governmental institutions. Cheers brother!
Not every country in the world has a puritan stick up their arse about making wine.
We have brewed wine with our children since they were small and, now they are adults, have a sensible relationship with alcohol. It looks like the comment came from an ignorant GenZ troll who needs to lay off the Anime and actually enter the real world. Love to you both xx
To be fair, Boomers can be quite ignorant too and have passed their ignorance on to succeeding generations so it isn't just GenZ that are the bell ends... Just look at the USA elections with the Orange Swamp Monster (and I don't mean Big Merv unfortunately...) and the "Grongle Oppressors Party"...
Agreed. I've let all my boys try my alcohol drinks; I drink neat, and its put them off, well into adulthood. Never had teenage issues and well balanced men. Better to teach our children to do 'everything' from scratch from now on instead of relying on supermarkets. I've told my kids they can go to university after they've achieved some knowledge in woodwork and plumbing.
When I was a lad, my brothers and I always had cider with Sunday lunch. Our dad used to get a bottle of Coates cider and we all had some. My dad used to brew his own beer, usually from a kit he'd got from Boots and my mum (quite successfully made wine) I still brew my own beer/wine and spirits. My younger brother was so interested in it all he studied micro biology at college so he could learn about yeast and the brewing industry. Learning from your parents is a fantastic thing. I learnt more from mine than anything I was forced to at school. Parents make things fun and enjoyable. Keep up the good work, you are doing a fantastic job with Ron
So let me get this correct. You were parenting? Educating your child? Spending valuable formative hours with the child you care about and want to be with? Well how very dare you! Good grief some people don’t have any common sense and will complain about anything. I’m sure the education will continue and the pros and cons of alcohol have or will be part of the curriculum. I remember one vid in which you heard your boy cry and you instantly dropped what you were doing and went to see what the problem was. That’s care! Teaching math science out side of school making it interesting. That’s parenting . Helping him come to an understanding and interest in the world around him , food drink growing things making things that’s invaluable. Wish I’d had that with my parents when I was young but never really happened for me. So a final thought. You keep doing what you’re doing and ignore the uneducated comments of people who don’t understand you ❤️
My father bought a wine kit when I was ten, It sat in a cupboard for ages until one day I asked my father what was it and could I try to make wine. He agreed on the one condition that if I made it and he drank it. Since then I've loved the process of wine making and brewing. It hasn't led me to alcoholism, in fact I hardly ever drink these days and I'm now 55.
Well said, I totally agree with you 😀
I can’t see the problem some people are just bell ends mate , keep doing what your doing you can see how much you care for your child , seems like there the ones with the problem
Completely agree with you, if you teach them young to have a healthy respect to alcohol, then they'll be far less likely to abuse it. Don't let numpties on the internet tell you how to raise your child
What % does it come out at with 1.3kg of sugar?
I've made Earl Grey Tea wine twice now. I love the stuff, it is one of my favorite wines.
OMG ! That was crazy,amazingly crazy but still crazy brilliant 👍🍷
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm making prickly pear wine prickly pears a little more bitter I'm hoping the brown sugar will go well with it
Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the red wine - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the blue wine - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Seaside Witch's Brew?
😂 loved it! Thank you!
Congratulations James, you may have just stumbled across the secret to replicating the *Romulan Ale* of Star Trek fame. All the best to you & Ron! Skål!
I was just thinking that!
Just rewatched this and yup… he definitely said about sticking it where the sun doesn’t shine 🤣. You do make me laugh James 😆xx
:) :) :)
Just brilliant James 👍❤
And the sober answer is: "burgundy" color is a mixture of red, blue, and a little green (possibly some yellow or orange too depending on who mixed it) and the red oxidized or was digested by the yeasty beasties leaving the blue/green color... That, or it changed color so we could watch James get a bit pixilated 🤓
BTW, if you make a white wine and add butterfly pea flowers you can get a wine that is a brilliant, almost Cherenkov Blue... (In fact one home beer maker made a "Chernobyl Pilsner" coloured with butterfly pea that looked quite radioactive!)
I would say it's more of a aquamarine colour.
How is Ron? The wife? What’s going on with you these days?
The best thing about this is watching James get increasingly inebriated 🤣. Glad to see you back James, we were starting to get worried about you. Hope all is well with you and Ron, have you managed to get the rest of your stuff from Eday now? Xx
