I do the same steps but i warm a gallon of the juice in a pan and disolve the sugar .then add everything together.when finished i filter it threw a few coffee filters makes a cleaner product in the end
You rock, this is hands down the best video on this subject in all of youtube. If only I knew it was this easy back when I used to live in a dry county. edit: Well it has been 19 days now since I made my first brew following this guide to the letter, using the exact same yeast and even to the point of not mixing the sugar. The only difference I did was I used a variety of juices making like a wine punch and I waited 14 days to bottle because the balloon was still going strong. Now that my wine has been sitting in the fridge for about 5 days however I decided to give it a taste and damn it is good, I don't know how strong it is but it definitely has a kick, it is easily 14% if not stronger. So once again this is an awesome guide. I can't wait to try other juices and combinations.
What an awesome video. There are tons of wine making videos on YT that complicate this extremely easy process. I would like to note that not only does having wine with the sediment in the bottom look bad, it also will cause you to get the runs.
cheers for the awesome video man, i already got two batches one small apple which is still fermenting and another grape wine is as well still bubbling but not that much, its already been 10 days, and i just start making another batch around 1.5L of apple wine but i put around two cups of suger in it " sweet apple wine " is my goal on this one" and yes im using dry active yeast from a local shop. First 4~5 days the smell was awful , however after like 8 days it smells like alcohol in it, the grape one smells like wine, and the other small apple batch smells like Savanah cider.. cant wait to try them out once they stop fermenting :)
One of the better done videos I've seen. Iike how he included saving the lees for the yeast mutation over multiple batches. Most people ignore that. Plus it basically is yeast and yeast hulls already combjned.
Hey there! Yay to making your own! 😁😎🙌 An easier way is to use frozen juice and water... Also if you purchase a fish tank hose and put a line from one 5gal to another 5gal and seal the air then a few extra yeast packets the fermentation will happen naturally and draw liquid into the other bottle.. sugar looks about right.. I can't remember the full recipe.. a friend of mine from Georgia showed me how to make it years ago! Potent! 🤣
I’ve never cared for the balloon method. I prefer an airlock or in my case a tube airtight running to a small cup of water. It keeps the gnats from turning wine into vinegar lol
It is a preference, as well as using the bread yeast as opposed to using brewer's yeast. Also not using an airlock of any kind and simply burping it, like using a 2liter bottle produces a much better product IMHO.
@@BB-gu9kxYeah but this process is time consuming. I like to have multiple batches going at once or make a big one because I DRINK A LOT I'm making 8 gallons right now
No point. I live in CA so the weather is perfect most of the year. I have it sitting in a wheelbarrow, outside, encased via garbage bags. Same results. I'm drunk off it as I type this. @@BB-gu9kx
You can use a 2 liter bottle and forgo the airlock if you are able to burp the bottle twice a day. Do not open the lid all the way, just enough to let the CO2 out.
Pretty much. Your concentration of alcohol may vary depending on how tolerant your yeast is to alcohol. Just try it out and if your wine is still sugary at the end, then your yeast died before converting all the sugar to alcohol.
@@72fr250 thank you.but many south indians are making different types of wines like i made as well as they are drinking that. I think cinn make methanol after fermentation may be.if it made can be dangerous?
No it will not create methanol. Cinnamon and peppercorns have been used to add spicy warm flavors to wine and ciders for about 1000 years now. Knock yourself out :)
You can add more sugar when you start in the hopes that the alcohol will deactivate the yeast before all the sugar is consumed or buy yeast that deactivates at a certain ABV % and play with the amount of sugar you add.
@@72fr250I have a 8 gallon batch going without a proper air lock. Tasted some today and it was fine. As long as foreign objects don't make their way into the wine that's all that really matters in my opinion. (Yes, I've used airlocks on smaller batches in bottles.)

I guess I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new series online?
@Lawson Pablo Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
@Ronan Maison yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for since march myself =)
@Ronan Maison thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Lawson Pablo glad I could help xD

Man that's crazy people in dry counties must do this all the time perhaps sell it underground.
I'm glad you liked it. No one every comments on here with how it turned out lol

Very helpful indeed I appreciate it. You broke down a lot of things that I was trying to figure out.

Emulsifiers/stabilisers in the juice if any will kill the yeast fermentation I believe, as a note to anyone -
Add baking soda to stabilize the PH level
Thank you so much for the wine making class. I really learned a lot. I would like use a wine barrel though. But I am just starting.
Nobody makes wine in a barrel
wine barrel is for storing the wine to give a better oakwood taste
Thank you! I will let know when I succeed at wine making. Blessings!
@@sonjahickmon5203 Get some wooden tongue depressors and bake them until charred, throw them in while fermenting...mmm, smoky.
Thanks for the idea of balloon, an alternative for airlock👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Good video better than I expected.
Get yourself an airlock a proper one there two bucks they last for years
Do you know a link to the exact airlock lid for this bottle because im looking for one for the same bottle
@@justinvaughan8655 you could use the water bottle cap and a hose in a jar of water. Or get some tape to make your bung or airlock fit.
It is a preference, as well as using the bread yeast as opposed to using brewer's yeast. Also not using an airlock of any kind and simply burping it, like using a 2liter bottle produces a much better product IMHO.
Can I make it without sugar?? I live where alcohol is prohibited.. I need answers please ;-)
No. The yeast converts the sugar into alcohol.
when they make real wine they dont use sugar so i think you can try it but i just think you wont get a high level of alcohol.
Yes. You would need to use grapes. With using grapes you do not need to use anything other than grapes.
نعم يمكنك أن لا تستخدم السكر لكن نسبة الكحول سوف تكون منخفضة جدا . نصيحة لك أضف السكر
The juice will have sugar in it already, you don't need to add any more
Just make it in the bottles. You're double working yourself son.
People don't appreciate bottles with yeast sediment at the bottom.
@@72fr250 Just pour it in another bottle using a wire strainer. Then you don't have to wrestle around with that big water bottle.
@@BB-gu9kxYeah but this process is time consuming. I like to have multiple batches going at once or make a big one because I DRINK A LOT
I'm making 8 gallons right now
@@AloeJaeMaybe you should invest in a small 10 gallon still if you drink that much.

Do u have to use the tube in the end
You could pour it, but I didn't want yeast to unsettle.
So does that mean 18 litres of juice?
Using a balloon for air locking looks so cool. Will the wine get any of the rubbery taste though?
I've never noticed any.
Don't use baloons . you can use airlock. Simply can make it.
Plastic bottle is ok for making wine
Bro use corn cobs ears put in a bag mush them up and feed don't mix it smarter starters
How many bucket of yeast
Thanks .. This is awsome
Fantastic bro this true wine
Awesome one
Hey can liquid yeast(starter) be used?
Very Helpful!
Can I use a plastic bottle to make king coconut vine
You can use a 2 liter bottle and forgo the airlock if you are able to burp the bottle twice a day. Do not open the lid all the way, just enough to let the CO2 out.
Can I use any kind of yeast?
Pretty much. Your concentration of alcohol may vary depending on how tolerant your yeast is to alcohol. Just try it out and if your wine is still sugary at the end, then your yeast died before converting all the sugar to alcohol.
I put some cinnamon wood inthe sugar yeast wash and fermented for 4 days . Can i drink? Can cinn make any methanol or poison in it?
I couldn't tell you. You can always make a new batch and add the cinnamon after it is done fermenting to be safe.
@@72fr250 thank you.but many south indians are making different types of wines like i made as well as they are drinking that. I think cinn make methanol after fermentation may be.if it made can be dangerous?

@@juxtacook1964 no pun intended?
What happens if wanted sweeter wine?
You can add more sugar when you start in the hopes that the alcohol will deactivate the yeast before all the sugar is consumed or buy yeast that deactivates at a certain ABV % and play with the amount of sugar you add.
You can do what commercial wine brewers do and add your sugar to the wine once it has stopped brewing as well.
How many spoon of yeast sir.
1 is fine if you put to much in it won't hurt it either
I love ❤️ wine 🍷 I love ❤️ a sweet wine 🍷 this my favorite 😍 I
Air lock man... they are 2 bucks ... save your money buying balloons ..
It's just my personal preference. Balloons never dry out and ruin your batch.
@@72fr250 you can always use a condom and its already sterilised,either way they work as good as an airlock.
@@72fr250I have a 8 gallon batch going without a proper air lock. Tasted some today and it was fine.
As long as foreign objects don't make their way into the wine that's all that really matters in my opinion. (Yes, I've used airlocks on smaller batches in bottles.)
6 days is not enough time
Dude that is ghetto lol. Looks like it works though. More power to you
Stoned? Lol
Handsome 😍
