- This is my first attempt at how to video regarding home brewing of any sort,I will admit I have try and speed up my demonstration a little bit as this vid up being almost 12 minutes long and I had to chop some out. I hope you enjoy this anyhow I do thank anyone for their time and also hope you have fun trying this in your home. Cheers.
A very cool related site to check out is: www.how-to-make...
I made some a few years back. Instead of one cup of sugar, I used 3. I put it in my closet for a month, then racked it into an old 750ml Vodka bottle. I put it back in my closet and forgot about it for 3 months. When I finally remembered it, it had become a pretty shade of clear red. I pulled it out, uncorked it and drank 3/4 of the bottle. It went down smooth... and got me so drunk I couldn't see straight, walk straight, or speak straight. I was drunk before I knew it.
My favorite thing about youtube is that no matter what the topic, you're always surrounded by experts who offer helpful and considerate advice in the comments. They are so smart!
This hooch sounds awesome. It reflects my brewing philosophy: "step 1: put some crap in a bucket with some yeast. step 2. wait. step 3. party!"
I'm drinking the wine I made watching this video two weeks ago... I'm so drunk. Is pretty good mixed with berry juice, taste legit. Thank you Jake! hick!
It's a bottle of juice. You empty out a little and you add sugar, a lot of sugar then a packet of yeast. Cover it but dont seal it. Let stand for 2-3 weeks. But the longer it stands the better it is. :) Happy Fiesta!
@@Mj173100 I can see the yeast in the bottom, do I shake it more or let it do its own thing?
Hi ;) After mixing everything you have to shake it for as long as you can bare.
Marie-Jane excuse me
Should i cover the bottle with a blanket or something like that
You can cover the top with a balloon that you've poked a hole in to let out the air.
Dude! This was a great recipe and ours turned out SUPER! We tried a bunch of other more complicated and expensive ways and yours was hands down the one my husband loved the most. THANK YOU!!
Simple and effective
My mother started making wine when she was 15 out of whatever she could get (Kool-aid and Tang, mostly) and I made my first bottle out of apple juice, which was also kept in a closet where the parents couldnt get it. I enjoyed your video because it brought back memories and rekindled my interest in wine making now that I am old enough to do it legally :D
love how simple you make this . you really don't need that much yeast for those small bottles . you could probably get 4 of those bottles per packet. and it would make it even cheaper
Hey Jake thanks for the video I made my 1st homemade wine ever an it taste greaaaat. I let it sit for 2wks an used bread yeast an it. Was a success thanks again
Did you place it in a closet for 2 weeks or just in a room.
Tried this and it worked very well. Tastes great! I have made wine, beer and hard cider but this has been by far the best. It only took 1 week to ferment at room temp (in Scotland). I got 4x1L of Welches red grape juice on a deal for £8. Added the juice to a 1gall demijon and added 17oz sugar, 1tsp yeast nutrient and winemaking yeast (well actually it was whatever was in a few mls of the hard cider i was fermenting in a different demijohn). Fermented like crazy. I think the key to avoiding sourness is to know when to stop the fermentation. Taste it and see if its to your liking...do not leave it for too long. Use a hydrometer. They are dirt cheap.
I honestly didn't think this would turn out very well but boi let me tell you this shit had me so fucked up I lost 3 friends and my girlfriend all in one night
Jesse Pinkman hell yeah dude party on cheers
+Jesse Pinkman Bro you'll have something to live for other than drinking, partying ect. take it from me, God created us to recover!
fred lamas i hope so man
+fred lamas not true gods created me to PARTY!
+CIA hey I been there life is very special, You are made very special do not throw you life away...people come and go, they must not of love you or they would not have left, you will find someone who cares about you do not give up...take care robert...
Here i am after a *DECADE* learning how to make some hooch, thanks a lot!
If you buy the generic juice, use bread yeast (bought in a larger quanity) and buy the generic sugar you can get the cost of these down to about 3$ a bottle. Since a 48 oz or 1.5 quart worth of juice is 1400ml+ that makes your average "bottle" of wine only costing about $1.50 USD. Plus its fun to do and usually tastes better than store bought wines. :D Good stuff.
while that will work, bread yeast brews need aging to clear the bread taste (which is fine)
but also, flocculation changes from packet to packet.
@@samljer Yeah I have some good batches from Jan. 2020 still in storage. Made them right around the time I originally posted this comment. I took much more care with my original 15 batches compared to the later ones where I used turbo yeast and racked them less. All my wine making stuff is in storage these days since I have more wine than I could even drink. I havent even cracked into my blueberry wine in my glass jug yet. I made it with 2 lbs of fresh blueberries.
imagine all the 13 yearolds abusing there welches
That made me laugh so hard lol
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to make wine from fruits try Nadazma Fast Wine Helper (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.
LMAO
Me
I'm 17 lol excuse you
Another comment: Do not just throw away the juice bottle when empty. Rinse it out, dry it out and re-use it for storing rice, beans, sugar, etc. Saves plastic from the landfill and provides a great storage vessel.
He's not that redneck
Sweet vid bud, me and the old lady started making this stuff a few yrs ago, and we now like it better than store bought!!
We watched this in my bio 101 class. Thanks Dr. Hogan!
The reason your wine was bitter is because you let it sit too long, the yeast had converted all the sugars to alcohols and then oxidized, which means it was turning to vinegar. lol, one week is plenty time to ferment. If it were me, I would add half a cup of corn syrup as well for addition enzymes for the yeast to be extra happy ;)
if i used the equipment and process for making hard cider (large jar, juice, wine yeast, yeast nutrient, air lock) with grape juice, could I make some wine in a week?
Depends on the type of yeast you use, but you should be able to reach 8-12% within a week
thanks daniel. I use wine yeast.
If it had turned to viniger then it wouldn't have improved after 3 months like he said.
Hugh Jarce it matters what size your batch is, and how much yeast you put in
What you do is put a balloon over the top of it poke a needle hole in it. It will stay blown up from the gas being made, once the balloon goes flat the yeast is done doing its thing.
great tip
Not necessarily. Yeast can still be converting sugars and cleaning up, without producing enough gas to inflate the balloon. The only way to tell is to take regular gravity readings.
While using balloon ! How often to shake the bottle or container ? Or just let it sit there until the balloon is up.
How long shud i wait for the air to get release.pls reply..
@@christopherrizk9591 what do you mean when you sy gravity readings?
I started some today with Welch essentials, its a.mix of cranberry and grape from concentrate, no preservative or artificial flavor, my uncles always made their own wine and beer. I used the same method as you except used the bakers yeast, I used 2 cups of sugar so it will be sweeter.
I would recommend picking up a couple air locks, you can get them on Amazon for about 8.00 a set. One it will keep the pressure down so you don't blow juice/wine over everything and it works as a one way system so it keeps the air out.
Now get to makin' that homemade hooch!
fermentation work with CO2 so you want to not open the cap a little so the juice uses all the O2 in the bottle and speeds up fermentation
+keith cunningham you took the word's right out of my mouth
keith cunningham I made the mistake of closing the gap thinking fermentation was done, I had to spend 30 min opening and closing it trying to get all the Co2 out lol
I added about 1 qt of water to the first batch of red I made yielding almost 1 gallon of wine. Just tried 2 days ago after 24 days of fermentation and it's good!
Thanks Jake! Let me tell you you're a godsend for living in a dry country... (Middle East)
@sebnemoy You serious,I work with a fellow that did the same thing put the cap on as tight as he could get it,So I told him it might blow up and he was pretty nervous for the rest of the shift. lol He told me the next day that nothing happened but hissed real loud when he loosened the cap.
Jake, well done. I noticed that you used a whole packet of yeast/bottle. I have been using 1/2 tsp per bottle. Maybe I need to use the whole packet.
When putting the lids on, to see if it will relieve pressure, just squeeze the bottle and listen for the cap to move. You can hear it (click-click). I do not use tape on my caps.
I liked your video. Thanks for no bad music.
I have that same funnel.
good choice on the juice. I also use Welch's. (better than ocean spray) I look for the brands that have the most juice content. I made an apple-grape wine. no kidding, took it hunting and it went well with the deer roast. my next batch is going to be strawberry ( my daughters request). thanks for the great vids.
I don't drink but I am going to make this for my son and his girlfriend. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the video.
Yea! I do 5 gallons for Christmas but have to re-make 4 batches as it always seems to get drank before the Season.
This guy reminds me of bubbles from the trailer park boys
Maple flavoured ..... deee ee cent!!
Don’t cross the shitline
@green420f until the fermenting is done or about 10 to 14 days,then slowly empty it into a sanitized container or jug as not to disturb the sediment and try to leave the sediment in the bottle then sanitize the original bottle and pour it back in,then tighten the cap firmly,leave for a month or how ever you wish. Thanx
Mr.Jake, thanks. I feel like I don't have to buy my stress meds any more. And this is so tasty. Dang man. Me and my dad love it. I use tubes an water. But I was FN it all up till I saw your site.
@joejumps4fun It should be still bubbling slowly,however if not at all anytime now would be OK to transfer and replace after you have cleaned out your original jug. I would seal it tight and store in a dark place at room temperature for at least two more weeks as there will still be a minuet amount of yeast in the wine,it will probably gain another half to 1% alcohol content in 2 weeks. Once complete chilling it is an option,you can also drink it at room temperature. Later
@jakeanddar a hydrometer is easy to use... i use one for beer and wine and i also use one when making maple syrup...they are exactly the same, except the one from the home brew supply is marked for alcohol...the math is already figured out...you just drop it in the wine and it should float..you read the line it is floating at to see the sugar content...you do this before and after fermentation...this will tell you how much sugar was turned into alcohol!
@Metalitron12 Baking yeast will work,I selected the dry active yeast from the grocery store when I try this the first time.
@SuperDoug77 Much,much better,just bring the cap tight and then loosen it a quarter turn no more,if it helps any put a little tick mark on the top of the cap with pencil,pen or maker. Cheers!

Can ketchup or bread substitute for the yeast?
No
+Final Boss You made my day with this question. thank you
+Final Boss You can try. Tell me how it goes.
lol u mean like prison hooch? I'm sure you could, but the ketchup is used for the fructose corn syrup as a sugar substitute not the yeast. idk if someone commented this yet because my phone doesn't show all the TH-cam comments for some reason but sorry if someone already said this x)
found the 14 year old trying to make booze in his closet lmao
@qwerty101ize I have never used a ballon,however I would just leave it untouched for at least 7 or 8 days,(there will still be a small amount of gas seeping out through the holes in the ballon),then take off the ballon and transfer it to a clean sanitized jug,then rinse and sanitize the original jug and pour it back in to that jug,cap it tight and leave in a dark environment for at least another week. Thanks
Classic that's how I got started making wine, well that and the old all sport cheap Gatorade drink left in the sun for a few weeks as a kid.. If your in to fast and easy boil some crushed up pumpkins for a while let it sit for 2 days and throw yeast to it. And a little cinnamon .. Tis the season buddy
The Breather you can make form the CAP(s). Then pop them onto the next batches. You Start by Drilling the correct sized hole. A unsmoked Cigarette Filter works GREAT! Use Clear Hose from Hardware STores or Medical Hoses and run the tube into water container.Also a tube with a Marble on top etc. Nice video!
This shit gets you trashed. All you need is some bread yeast, Welch's grape juice, and sugar.
ABRAXAS and a airlock or a balloon
To use bread yeast is outright dangerous. Since it is not a pure yeast it can produce the wrong alcohol. The wrong alcohol will make you very sick or literally can kill you, if it does not make you blind first.
Christin Adree Where'd you hear that?
Mr. Super Fly I think what he means is bakers/bread yeast isn’t bred specifically for brewing, and are more likely to produce more methanol than its boozy cousins
Christin Adree your wrong, no bread yeast can produce dangerous amounts of Methanol, it just has an off taste, and takes 2x the time to clear up
My friend made this and REALLY liked it. She said it tasted just like a really good wine cooler or sangria. She made it from pomegranate juice and said that the hardest part was just waiting three weeks! No added sulfates or unknown chemicals is really great too. I will let you know if she gets a bad hangover though (hah!)
Did she
No but thats because she takes Tangy Tangerine type supplements every time she drinks. Hangovers are just caused by dehydration and vita/mineral deficiencies.
Does it work with other juices like strawberry or any kind of juice
+nfhvv Sure,any juice would work,just gotta watch there are no preservatives,will throw flavours off bad! Cheers!
+jakeanddar awesome
Yes, i have acutally mix amd match flavors. notice when you make wine this way you have to empty some. What i do at time is get juices that complement each other and i have an empty container and put it in there for a mixed wine batch.
if i use orange juice do i have to use no pulp?
+gabe pan pulp would be better so the yeast has some protein
A ballon is used to absorb the excess carbon dioxide made when the yeast produces alcohol in fermentation. it could potentially explode with just a cap and also the pressure could denature the yeast. Just FYI the yeast uses the glucose(sugar) to undergo fermentation so more sugar=more alcohol % by volume
does this cause blindness
No but trying to make distilled alchohol (moonshine, vodka, etc) can. that's the only reason it's legal to make wine and beer but illegal to make spirits
No, if you distill it ( dumbest thing a brewer can do) the “ head” contains all of the methanol, since distilling makes it pure alchahol and methanol, which is what will make you go blind, and cause organ failure
I have a different reason that I believe about being illegal, I firmly think it is only about the TAXES, if you look at the price of legal alcohol in stores, it is easy to see how much taxes are being lost to the government, from illegal distilling - moonshine, AFTER all think about it, from the beginning of this country-US, there has always been fighting over TAXES, people don't like it so rebellions have been quite a part of our lives. Just my view, yes I agree that the heads can cause blindness and other types of poisoning, but most people that would distill would and do know to get rid of the heads. Especially the real moonshiners, they don't want a bad product that people won't buy, there purpose is to sell as much as they can, and have returning customers.
No, but you might grow hair in the palms of your hand! -Grammy D
this guy really rocks!!! just use bread yeast you don't need wine yeast
hi i look like a dork . i made 2 bottles of this stuff and had fun making it and drinking it the people who worry about poisoning just chill if you made it right it works i know you can buy your own but this is a fun cheap way to make wine thanks
I remember watching this when I was about 14 I'm 22 now I cam still remember watching this over and over and finally trying to make it myself I let it age for about 2 or 3 months took one swig and said fuck that but instead of pouring it out I give it to my cousin who is a year younger then me and another bottled to his younger cousin let's just say it was strong as hell and they regretted it for the next 20 plus hours😂....
@1deidrich And i reccoment using glass bottles or large glass jars to make your wine in it takesout the plastic taste :)
I'm 16
Now you can try :d
Your 22-23 now
Nope, homebrew doesn't smell at all beyond directly putting your nose by the stoplock. You're safe keeping it in a closet with no ill olfactory effects.
@coronapeacock lol, yeast is perfectly fine to eat it won't make your stomach explode(you might end up burping at most), if you leave it in most dies off as the alcohol content gets higher. I made cheap cider a couple times both had pretty high alcohol contents, very dry, i'd say about 12% by volume.

Do the cups all have to be different shapes for this to work???
Or you could just go buy a cheap bottle aid wine
Seth Young yes, however this method is rewarding by working for the end result as opposed to going and buying wine, anyone can do that.
Seth Young Or if you're underage you can make your own
Seth Young The big difference here is how much this method costs. I have done this multiple times for around $3 and that means more money to travel. Cheapest wine bottle is 8.99 plus tax so around $10. And I drink ALOT so it cuts costs
Another plus, you pay no alcohol taxes.
No! We like making our own and shit!
Balloons work just fine. Make sure you sanitize the balloon before you put it over the opening and once it starts to inflate (usually within an a few hours) poke a hole in the top of it with a pin and you're good to go. Once it goes limp, you're done and you can put the cover back on. If you don't drink it right away, it's a good idea to unscrew the cap once a day to let out any pressure that may have built up.
When fermenting try tightening the cap. Give it a small shake and slowly open the cap until it hisses. Pressure fermented wine for warmer climates or even just for bubbly lol
@heisenfeis I think organic juice won't work,just make sure there are no sulphites in the ingredients!
@emmettebrown You can use bread yeast from the store that is cheap, or you can leave the bottle open outside for an afternoon, and wild yeast will get into the juice and ferment it. to get the ethanol out you'd need to distill it which is more complicated. You can buy ethanol at the drug store for like $1 it's just denated with a little bit of stuff so you can't drink it.
@Chole154
After it stops bubbling you have to close the lid tight so oxygen can not get in and go for another 2 weeks at least. That is the anaerobic fermentation part, and that is when alcohol is made, before that the yeast was just growing.
@jakeanddar i heard if you freeze it, the water freezes and alcohol doesn't, so the alcohol would pour off and be concentrated
I'm not sure this will work, but using a crazy straw with a bit of water in it for the air lock seems like it should be better then just unscrewing the lid a little. The production of alcohal is an anarobic reaction from what i understand, and just unscrewing the lid would cause a lower abv.
Wait, 1.5 dollars for the yeast? Are they made of gold or something?
Not at all. You probably want to keep it in a dark cupboard anyway to avoid sun-strike. The only smell you'll get is if you actively smell inside the bottle.
in high school (06-07) I did it the same way with bread yeast and welchs juice but I made 5 gallons at a time.
@ElitePCJumper In winemaking you always leave it open for the first five day period called the primary fermentation.....After the first five days you place a water seal at the top....
@emmettebrown
Use baker's yeast from the store, is cheap. And instead of grape Juice just disolve cane sugar in water. There has to be a recipe online. Probabl about 1-1.5 glasses of sugar in 1 gallon of water. that will get you a ~12% ethanol sugary solution for like under 1 dollar. Is not good alone but can be mixed with other stuff to make cocktails
@jbrumbaugh100 Yes,i've heard that some fruits and vegetables contain natural yeast I think in the skin,I was told that if you take a bunch of grapes,nothing else,throw them in a container,place a cover on it and let it sit for a few weeks in room temp. it is supposed to create natural wine. I'm not sure how the procedure goes so I have never tried it. Thanx
@Aidsus Because of the nature of grape juice you don't have to be as particular about sanitizing as you do homemade beer,running under very hot water from the tape is sufficient when you transfer your wine. The bottles the juice came in would have or should have been sterilized from the factory. I chose not to go with a ballon for fear of possible latex contamination in my wine once the ballon deflated and I am not there to take it of in time. Take care!
depends if u want it carbonated...freeze it to kill the yeast if you dont...or cap it then it will get fizzy...hope this helps!
I made some wine about a year ago and I used bakers yeast and a balloon. The yeast worked but the wine had a faint balloon taste. I am thinking about trying this method. It looks a lot easier, and it will obviously taste better.
@CowboywithaCamaro No,it just mean you have some good fermenting going on there.
Alright, primary fermentation takes about 3-7 days. I’m curious as to why you waited 3 months to crack it open... let alone 8! Any insight?
Omg, this is the video i used when i was like 15 years old and couldnt buy alcohol myself :D had some fun times with that disguisting wine..
@freeburma2 Baking yeast will work,I used the active dry yeast make by Fleischmann's
@66jesko You are right,one pack of this yeast would probably be enough for 4 - 6 gallons of juice. I just have any more juice at the time!
I have to say this is a great way to make wine. I'm totally shitfaced right now off a batch a just finished. Thank you! Much love from Florida!
thanks but can i use any type of yeast ?
yeah but certain types are definitely better than others
i made mine without sugar i just open the juice bottle and took about one cup out then i added the yeast gave it a good shake and twisted the cover open and it should start bubbling after 10 minutes if not add more year and shake again and after 24 hour you can drink it there will be alcohol in it but not enough to get you drunk if you want to get drunk then do the same thing but with sugar and wait a week before you drink it and if it taste bad just mix it with coke or something
Thank u guy :)
I'm from Turkey and i little speak english
U very good and basicly spoken english languege (Beatles English :P )
U make me happy :)
The idea of placing the cap on loose is so that gas escapes but air can't get back in, if you put a hole in the cap air will get back in
I just tasted it after 4 days. I's real good. Can't wait till a month is here. I also got a buzz.
How many grams is one glass of sugar. And how many grams is the yeast?
@qwerty101ize kinda late now... but
that happens sometimes, but the yeast go in to kind of a clean up mode, and take out alot of the leftover complex sugars that give funky tastes and clears the wine more
Both Welch's purple and white grape juice are already 15% sugar (36 grams sugar per 240 ml of liquid). This is why grapes are adequate for making wine without adding sugar most of the time, although wine grapes do usually have a higher level than table or juice grapes.
I have no idea what level of sugar you wind up with.
Do you like the finished wine very sweet? Since my homemade wine is mostly used in cooking, I like it being drier since I need the flavor without so much sweetness.
So, you don't proof the yeast before you add it? I've been proofing it every time, but maybe you don't have to. It always seems to work for you?
@damienjameszimbrick Yes,a hydrometer is what you need for measuring the density of liquid. I never did buy one myself so I'm not experience with knowing exactly how to used one. From what I understand though are not very hard to get used to. Cheers & happy brewing!
I just made my 1st batch of Cranberry wine this way today, and have a glass gallon jug of picked grapes also going
Bad ass. Gonna have to give this a try.
Welch's Purple Grape Juice contains 16.5 grammes of sugar per 100 millilitres.
I add 250 grammes of sugar per Litre when using wine yeast to make around 12% ABV.
Yes you can. But honey is 25% water so adjust recipe accordingly. Also some say the wine will taste like the flowers the bees used to make it.
Instead of loosely placing the cap back on, could you just poke a hole on top of the cap? Seems like it would work, but I'm unsure. Also, will bread yeast affect the alcohol content? I don't have access to wine yeast, but will bread yeast make it taste pretty awful, or will it not make too much of a difference?
thank you for this information am sure people in KSA will appreciate this small interesting video
MAY HOLY JESUS BLESS US ALL THANK YOU JAKE FOR TEACHING US POOR SIMPLE CHRISTIANS HOW TO MAKE HOME MADE WINE... FROM richard
city boy huh?
I'm going to try your method, I don't want to mess with airlocks
@emmettebrown Why dont you just use bread yeast from a local store? Its like a dollar, not as great as wine yeast but it will make alcohol.
Yes,Normal Baking yeast will work,I have even heard you can achieve above 10% with bakers yeast as well,cheers!
What do you do if the bread yeast dont dissolve? Mine just sinks to the bottom of the jug.
jake u damn conook u rock ive made some fine wine from ur method u no lots about spirits thankx for ur knoledge bud please keep it up im go n to scrib to ur vids im from alabama so u no ur north to south much luv an im fixn to get hammerd on ur recipe peace out my freing angel
