You can pickle melon rind then can it.

You guys are awesome!!!

i would think blending the seeds with the melon would make it look that colour…

The white patch on your watermelon turns yellow when the melon is ripe.

Edting error, 2 days later same shirt. 😄🤘 ahhh blame it on the sugar.

Hahaha……… love your experimentations!!

That was fun
Thank you for sharing 😁

Agree the fermentation temp is critical. Can you put it in the ground floor for cooler temps? I use to put my glass carboys in a bin of ice water in my basement to keep my wort/beer cool during fermentation.

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

I think I have watched every one of your videos over the past year plus. This one about making fizzy wine concoctions from melons is a hoot. And Kylie‘s infectious laugh/comment is always fun to hear. It is good to learn that you both are taking Portuguese lessons; some of your regional neighbors have barely gotten beyond Bom Dia after having been in-country for several years. Keep up your splendid work.

Orange or Tangerine Wine. (FEBRUARY)

Sweet oranges 12
Sugar 1.5 kilos
Water 4.5 ltr
Yeast & Nutrient
Pectic Enzyme

Peel or Zest six oranges (No white pith, as this is bitter)
Pour a litre of boiling water over the zest/rind and let it rest for 24 hrs. Lightly covered.
Strain off the water into a plastic bucket with 3 litres of water & the sugar.
Cut all the oranges in half and squeeze the juice out and add to the bucket, stir well and make sure the sugar has dissolved before adding a general purpose wine yeast. Cover well with a muslin cloth and strain into Demi Johns after 2 days, fitting an air lock.
Siphon off the lees when it has cleared and re-bottle
2-3 months later.

Wine should be made and kept in the coolest part of the house.
This recipe comes from "First Steps in Winemaking" by CJJ Berry

I strongly recommend you get the book as it will guide you all the way through the wine making process and you will see where you are going wrong

I do hope you keep some of the seeds back for planting next years crop. as its one way of saving the pennies than buying new seeds

😂😂😂😂Sorry, but😂😂😂😂😂

You could dry the melon seeds, roast them with some salt and eat them. They are delicious and nutritious. Like pumpkin seeds.

Totally off track, but meant to mention this when you were making watermelon cordial. Watermelon and beetroot makes an excellent chilled soup for summer. Goes nail varnish pink, which looks odd, but tastes divine. Worth an experiment if you have beets and melon lying about. Think gazpacho or vichysoisse. But pink. And semi-sweet. Mmmmmm….

Loved this episode!

I like your Global knives! I have the same set…:)

Fun,fun,hic,fun.

Chickens love melons 🍉 🍈 as well.

Hola … no me gusta nada botella plástico prefiero botella cristal mejor calidad, pero no es bueno azúcar, original natural, un problema azúcar fácil gorda

I absolutely laughed out loud when I watched your gag, I’m still laughing! I think, though, that was an awful lot of yeast and a big bucket, and I wonder about the seeds? Anyway, loved the episode, I’m keen on making a lime cordial in the very near future.

All the skins and seeds will be much appreciated by your chickens !

Lol you both made me chuckle with your faces, coughs, splutters and adjectives lol so funny. Always good to experiment and learn by mistakes. Loved the video thank you xx

If you want to make wine you shouldn't add any drop of water, otherwise it turns to vinegar of course, everyone what ever fruit you use you shouldn't wash it to not get any drop of water, good luck next, anyway now you have now vinegar to make some pickle 😉 😊 😄 God bless you both.

My friend here in the US makes an elderberry blossom ‘champagne’.

Filter the pulp, add water, add sugar…then pasteurise. Then cool and oxygenate. Then add yeast. Completely pointless to sanitise your fermentation vessel if you’re handling the fruit, and not pasteurising.

You two are hilarious. We also liked Myth Busters

I have a John Wright book, The Foragers Calender, he’s very good, I’d to go on one of his beach foraging courses 😬

I love your experiments! You are right about the yeast – you only needed the tiniest pinch, a 1/10th of what you used would have been more than enough (microbiologist here😁). Also, assomeone below has suggested, using glass containers set on stone might help regulate the temp a bit better.

Surely seeds from melons should be discarded …?

Those "melons" are cantilopes. Melons are egg shaped. In portuguese cantilopes are called "Meloa" (it's like a female melon, the translation lol). Melon is "melão", and water melon is "melancia".

The watermelon looks way to green. Should have stayed in the ground for a couple more weeks.

I am really addicted to your youtube channel, regardless of the recipe. It's really fun. Love u guys .

Laughing at ones "failures" shows strenght of character and then finding an alternative use shows buisness savy , lol. Love yoor honestly.

Guy: "Really cool book from River Cottage"……….. Kylie " Instructions are hopeless as don't tell you sizes or quantities" LOL

They may explode be cautious
