    Great introduction video. I have been making wine for some time but always good to get back to the basics at times.

    good video. I went to wine school and read plenty of books on winemaking, but I just can't seem to get organized to start. I look forward to future videos so I can get this done. I live in Las Vegas and I am going to get grapes as opposed to a juice kit.

      Ernie Hyde would there be a way that you could send me a copy your spreadsheet that you use to create wine, since I'm new to homebrewing? I thought that everything you described would be an excellent way for me to keep track of my process. Thanks in advance.

    I’m 73, and I bought a kit, and I’m so green, I didn’t know where to start, or what things were, there was no instructions for the kit, I watched probably a dozen videos and no one started where you have, thank you I’ve learned a lot, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸%

      Excellent question. The bucket is used in order for the winemaker to spread the yeast evenly over the must. If done in a carboy, the yeast would clump together and sink to the bottom in a mass. The carboy is used to help the winemaker observe the clearing process and determine when to rack the wine. A visual would not be possible in the bucket.

    Ernie , I been enjoying your videos thank you . I’m wondering do I need to fill my stainless steel carboy for aging before racking into bottles ? I have a nice air tight 7.5 gallon with air lock ? Your judgment would be helpful.

    Please send me a list of all the equipment I will need to make and bottle my own wine. I would appreciate this very much.
    Thank you.

    Can a wine production room be as small as 10 by 10 feet or less, or does it need to be bigger?

    • @mediait4516
      @mediait4516 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The production room can be as small as you need it to be to accommodate your equipment and your work space and number of carboys you will have working at any one time. Keep in mind, having a sink in the room is convenient but not necessary as long as you have one that is close by to wash your equipment after use. You'll need a sturdy table or bench to rack your wine from one carboy to another and a place to store your ingredients and chemicals. In short, a 10 x 10 would do it, but I had a much bigger area that included a racking wall for up to 800+ bottles of wine and at one point it was full.
      Good luck with your wine!
      Ernie

    We to make maple syrup up here in northern Ohio. I have always thought about trying a batch of maple syrup wine but have never really went any farther than that. Can you message me like what you used for juice and sweetening and all that? Thanks.

    • @59eh
      @59eh  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Austin Washburn I haven't made it for a long time but I know I used the maple syrup that we made from our trees at our house. I'll look around for the recipe I got from the internet, but I don't hold out much hope. I actually made two different recipes. The first was great and it had an idian name. The second was like gasoline in terms of alcohol content.

    Hey Ernie! I'm just new to wine making and this will be my first go-round with it. I started making maple syrup last year and it turned into an obsession. I want to try making wine out of it this year and was interested in your recipe. If its a secret, then any ideas as to how to get started would be appreciated.

    • @59eh
      @59eh  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I made two different recipes for maple wine. One was good the other, not so much. The one that was good was called something like Mocqua which I think I got out of one of the many wine making books I had at the time. It's been some time ago that I made it.

    My dad used to make wine in our storm cellar. All I remember him using was a crock that mom usually used to ferment cabbage in. I could be wrong because I was just a kid at the time and I did not pay that much attention.

      you are remembering right . my grandpa used a big crock cheese cloth over top big rubber band to hold in place. Grapes he grown sugar yeast let set 3 month . I still rememberthe smell on the back porch where he worked it. bottle drink . was strong and good . no chemicals added . did not age long enough to go bad.

    can you re ferment your mead wine if its to sweet

    • @59eh
      @59eh  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fredrick McDonald
      I have never tried it but if you added metabisulfate at the end of the Mead, you may not be able to keep your yeast alive long enough to ferment further.

    • @gtbear32
