Hey y'all Kimmy from Tuckerton NJ here! So because I started to make my own bread, TH-cam thought I should make my own wine and y'all were the first people to come up. It looked fun enough so I started with this one and it was so good! I got all sorts of compliments on it. I don't think I'll buy my wine again. I got y'alls recipe of the apple juice wine going now, and I think I'll do banana or pineapple next. Thanks for starting this channel up! Rock on y'all!
Good stuff right there. If you guys really like to drink wine, I suggest using apple as a base (75% to 25%) for cherries and all berries. Put the berries through a juicer twice, seperate, and then boil the pulp gently with water (just an inch over top) for half hour and strain. Mix with the apple juice. Age 6 month to a year.
That makes sense, I'll try that too. Right now I'm experimenting with fermenting apple juice dry by itself, and then I'll mix in berry juice to flavor it.
PhilBilly- Kicking it up a notch with the sorbate. Nice! Because of you I'm going to make some Blueberry wine. I'm going to backsweeten some to compare. Fruit wines might as well taste like the fruit. It's not like I'm trying to compete with Napa Valley.
TH-cam viewers love questions that get answered by videos... start naming your videos "will it wine?" , and you'll break through. Ive watched all your videos. Can i suggest "will bud light wine?"
I want to make a trip down to Cave City Arkansas and get a bunch of their watermelons and make a 5 gallon batch. They advertise that cave city watermelons are the sweetest in the world. I'll have to see for myself. 😆
I just made me a batch of strawberry wine today. Shes in the water bottle bubbling right now. I only used 1 pound of strawberries. Hoping it has a good enough strawberry flavor!
Philbilly lets see that still running more. How about sugar head wash with different juices added to the boiler with the wash. Apple juice and cider carry a lot of flavor through
Just a quick question Idk what the secondary or cold crashing is so when I let it Fermentate for two weeks then siphon it in a secondary put the bubbler back on the top and put it in the fridge for two days and then bottle it?
Victor Carr yes, when you cold crash it by putting it in the fridge for a couple days while in your secondary, the remaining yeast goes to sleep and floats to the bottom and doesn’t end up in your bottle
It is a bucket full of spent fruit and yeast, pretty much all the leftovers from brewing stuff all added together and when you get a bunch of it you make Jamaican rum. Except my dunder is a lot less gross then most but no matter how gross it always produces the best rum. Google dunder pit and read about it, it will probably gross you out but i am not using a pit, in the open air with goat heads in a pit of yuck lol
Please kids...if your watching, do NOT boil your fruit! Boiling will "set" the pectin in the wine, and you'll never really get it out...not even with pectic enzyme.
You should never boil fruit when making wine, it releases too much pectin, and the wine will be very hard to clear. And the plastic carboy instead of glass?
G’day from Australia! I tried this brew using 6 pounds frozen strawberries. Mine came out at 12.5% and it is amazing. Keep those videos coming, lads!
I love to hear when people make wine, Thank's for watching bro.

Thanks for watching. You're the reason we do it.
If you have a batch where the strawberry doesn’t come through like you want, I’ve found adding a few jolly ranchers does the trick.

Hell yeah, let us know how it comes out.
most epic video intro ever lol
Do you degass your wine at all?
Didn't see that. Do you drink it right away sometimes? You cold crash and put it in bottles and do they explode?
What do you do with the other quart of water? Does it go back into the bottle?
Can you use a glass demjohn instead of a plastic bottle..

Hell yeah, i would like to try a different kind of Water Melon. Like a Black Daimond, i bet that would be awesome.
It’s even better as brandy
Is there a temperature range that it need to rest at for a couple weeks?

Cliff C if it’s not strong enough add some strawberries while it sits in your secondary
@@bigeaze5711 Thanks. I'll definitely give that a try! And use 2 pounds of fruit in my next batch lol.
What size stopper fits those jugs? Looks great btw!
Rachel Andringa no. 7
Do you ever check the alcohol content of your wine to see where it's at?
I should let the jug cool down before adding the yeast correct. You didn’t specify but It looks like it’s cooled down in the video.
Thanks in advance! Love all your videos. Watched them all and I got all my stuff in the mail today and I’m doing some Strawberry wine!!!!!!
Yes, make sure the temp of the jug is under what the temp of the yeast calls for before you add it.
PhilBilly Moonshine Thanks brother. Awesome I’m glad I waited lmao
I would try a pack of strawberry glaze

This that fancy pruno what’s the abv?
Victor Carr this one came out at 14%

We need official PhilBilly Moonshine "Fuck Yo Mama!" Tees. Great content guys. Maybe try for a kiwi wine? Just throwing an idea out there
John Deloa we’re experimenting tshirt ideas, we’re going to be giving away our first tshirt sometime soon keep an eye out for our giveaway video
Best intro ever
Making mine as we speak, letting it get to room temp before i put my yeast in
What does the sorbate do?
Stops the yeast from producing alcohol. Kind of makes it sterile so the new sugar will remain and make it sweet.
Smkn Joe 1/4tsp per gallon, check the package incase the brand u get is different
What's a dunder bucket???
It is a bucket full of spent fruit and yeast, pretty much all the leftovers from brewing stuff all added together and when you get a bunch of it you make Jamaican rum. Except my dunder is a lot less gross then most but no matter how gross it always produces the best rum.
