    I've messed around with wine making for a couple of years now, mostly ending up with vinegar which was great for cleaning - if a trifle expensive. Then I came across this recipe - I've made it once and am currently drinking it (its 3 weeks from start). Its exactly what he says - a good comparator to a £5 supermarket wine, and it costs much less. I'm certainly making more. Great recipe. Thanks. I'm making another batch this week. Its really very tasty (and I didn't bother with the pectolase, bentonite - the flavour is what matters, and it tastes really nice - I did use the glucose).

    I learned how to make wine 50 years ago from my mum. Between us, we tried many things, including used tea bags (tasted like sherry!), rose petals (deliciously delicate), elder flowers, apples, etc. but I think the best was from blackberries (full-bodied and gorgeous colour). Homemade wine is usually not like the store-bought stuff from grapes, but it can be surprisingly good, if a little different. An ooccasional issue we had was getting the finished wine to clear, without using unwelcome chemicals. After a couple of glasses though, it somehow seemed less important...

Dark ones, not so much. Working on my own version of rice&raisins wine now. I am using dark red raisins.

    I've been making fruit wines for years. There's an art to wine making, but don't let that scare you. The darker and richer the fruit, the better it tends to be for wine type recipes, the lighter and less strong tasting the fruit, the better it tends to be for beer type recipes. The higher the acid content of the wine, the longer it takes to mature. A dry wine is a wine that has little to no sugar left over, a wet wine has sugar. People often thing that a wine is either dry or wet, but a little bit of sugar left over in certain kinds of wines is lovely, depending on the fruit. Beer type recipes (ciders) can be ready quickly, and I've used pear, honeydew and apple and others. Wines take longer, but if you get used to making it regularly, you'll soon find out that after a year you'll start to build up a stock pile. One of my favorite wines to make is blueberry and raspberry. Blueberry is low acid and matures within 8-12 months. Raspberry needs longer, and due to it's tartness, it's good to leave a bit of extra sugar in. Blackberry is lovely too, but is very low sugar, and without adding sugar to the recipe, will end up painfully dry.
    In the USA, you can get concentrated juice (Welch's makes it) and I've used these to make wines. 2-3 of them per gallon seems to work well. Using Welch's white grape peach is lovely for a white wine, and using white grape as a base to add other fruit like apple or pear is lovely too. I would avoid orange or other citrus unless you want to cut it with white grape, it's too acidic, and the wine remains cloudy in my experience.
    An easy way to make wine is to buy frozen fruit in bags. Allow them to thaw, put them n a blender, strain with pantyhose to get some of the fibers out if need be, and ferment with a wine yeast. Strawberry is a lovely wine, but it will remind you quite a lot of strawberry jam. The same is true for Concord grape, which is used to make most grape jelly n the USA. The flavor is fine, but it does taste like drinking liquid grape jelly. I picked up a few bags of mixed fruit (blackberry, raspberry and blueberry) and threw that in the blender and made a wine, and it turned out pretty nice.
    My all time favorite is raspberry. I've heard very good things about cherry too, but I've never got around to making it. The cool things about this is that you can make wine out of literally anything. Are you crazy and want to make onion wine? It's possible. Jalapeno wine. Tomato wine. Celery wine. Carrot wine. Got some fruit or veggie that you love more than anyone else? Turn it into a wine. It's possible.

      ltandk Holbrook different yeast strains will have different alcohol tolerances. Basically, the alcohol eventually kills the yeast once it gets to a certain concentration. The strongest and most robust yeast out there then to die after the wine reaches 15% alcohol. I prefer to ferment with a gentler yeast for most fruit wines, and then add in those beasties to finish things up. You’ll be surprised by how much which yeast you use will effect the flavor. The only way to be sure of the alcohol percentage is to use a hydrometer. It’s a simple tool (a glass tube) that allows you to measure the density of liquids. You measure once before the fermentation, and then after the fermentation, and the difference in densities will tell you how much sugar is converted to alcohol.

      It is but the sugar should be dissolved fully and a SG reading taken, but it's not necessary, I just like knowing the strength of the wine I am drinking so I can keep track of what I'm drinking. I've had it up near 18% ABV by making it 1.126 SG to start with and ferment down to 0.992 SG (almost 100% dry). Orange ferments like crazy and is done in a week.

    This is how I make wine, when I transfer it to a secondary fermenter I put in some toasted oak chips and let that sit for 2 to 3 weeks and then decant into wine bottles and let them sit for about a month, tastes like store bought. Take care Chilli Chump, oh by the way, I bought a bottle of your blazing buffalo sauce and Cajun rub, both were excellent!

    • @roblamb8327
      @roblamb8327 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The oak chips provide a convenient source of tannins (cheaply and conveniently substituting the process of ageing wines in oak casks), and depending on your level of impatience, reduces the need for including tea-bagged tea. Another good excuse (as if you needed it) to experiment.
      Incidentally using USED teabags for their tannin content is just as good as using new teabags as the tannins are amongst the last 'flavours' to be released, so it makes sense to brew a lot of tea first to quench your thirst while reusing the teabag as a 'tannin bag' to add the robustness to your 'wine'.

    This is a nice step up from the Oztops style wines and ciders made in Australia with straight bottled juice and a little white wine or champagne yeast (although it was amazing how you could make a decent sparkling Lambrusco-sttyle red to smash at a bbq in just 48 hours with two ingredients). Interesting that the instructions that came with the special CO2 release lids warned against trying to ferment citrus and pineapple juice, but you're getting great results. I'm guessing the yeast nutrient helps a lot. Definitely going to give this a go!

    I like making wine out of jam. Wine made from blackcurrant jam is awesome. I have found that it clears surprisingly well. When I first tried it I thought it would end up quite cloudy because of the pectin but it came out clear as glass without the need to add clearing agents or racking repeatedly. I found 2 jars will make a gallon of wine that is about 8-9%abv. 4 jars will make a gallon that is up to 15% and has a much more concentrated flavor.

    My first homemade Wine was a Tea and Raisin. We were watching the Demijohn rather than the Tele but it did not start working until the next day ofcourse. I eventually used a 10 gallon Carboy and a couple of 5 gallon buckets for the main ferment of a mixture of Elderberry (mostly) apples and raisons. Assembled a good cellar never less than 60-70 bottles and that gives the Elderberry time to mature. In the between times I made gallon brews like this but it was in Cans at the time Orrange and pineapple I think, it is a long time ago. It was OK but a bit harsh relative to my normal output. The Elderberry and Apple would have given a Cote de Rhone a run for its money. That was 45 years ago. You have piqued my interest. Thanks.

    This method works Amazingly, I have tried it and it's 👍👍👍, although I have found it takes me 4weeks to have a good wine both in terms of taste and appearance. But it's amazing the wine am making is way better than the shelf wines I have been buying.

    Thanks for the clear and well made video. I do some home distillation so I'm going to give this home made wine a try.
    I'm surprised that the bentonite went in at the start seeing as that it is a clarifying agent. If you are waiting weeks before bottling, there is a good chance the wash is clarifying naturally seeing as I'd expect the bentonite to have settled early in the piece. Also with the glycerine in at the start, I guess it doesn't really matter, but doing it later allows a bit of experimenting. All good either way.

    I like very dry and strong wine, as well as the same properties in cider. I haven't tried it yet, but my neighbor told me about a wine recipe he used to make before he had to give up alcohol due to some pills he had to start taking for some thyroid problems. He said his recipe makes extremely dry and strong wine and is made of fresh peach juice, hibiscus syrup, and pomelo juice...plus all of the other standard winemaking stuff that you showed off in the video. I just need to figure out where I can age wine, considering the fact that I already ferment so much kombucha, sauerkraut, and other lacto-veggies.

    The sediment at the bottom is not all "dead yeast" there is a process to wash the sediment at the bottom for reuse. I'd go with "cold crashing" instead of bentonite, which is basically mud. Cold crashing is easy enough, just put it in a refrigerator or as close to freezing as possible for 2-3 days after fermentation is complete, and the yeast will drop out of suspension.

    • @johnfreels9896
      @johnfreels9896 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      what you are referring to is "Cold Stabilization". This process allows the acetic acid that is suspended in the wine to attach to each other to the point that the crystal is too large to stay suspended. At that time, it drops to the bottom. The "dead yeast" at the bottom is refereed to a "lees". That in itself is another subject / video
