I siphon into a pitcher clean the jugs out. If I have 2 or more bottles of the same stuff I top off the jugs and put remaining in a smaller bottle or just have a partial jug. I use one of those big gravy funnels with the screen and a big wad of cheese cloth if I need to filter when I'm going from the pitcher back to the jugs. Of course if I have enough of the same juice I make a jug in a old clean jug I wash out with a little bleach if not I make a jug with all the different juices and half the time that turns out to be the best jug lol.
I use a small fish aquarium heater n put in juice bottle with water in-between my wine to keep it at a temperature for Fermenting, it a indirect heat, it works for me on cold days
You are like Jesus - coming to us, with mysterious hand movements, making wine out of not wine and imparting knowledge, peace and good will unto your followers.
Thank you Pawpaw!! Your wine recipe changed our life. We are opposites, my wife likes it sweet and I like it dry.. never know what you are gonna get but I love the process. Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving and a blessed Christmas from Florida. Cheers!!!
Paw paw make ur wine the way u do it best, if it's not broken don't fix it, new ideas might be better, yeast is healthy to drink, people buy used brewer's Yeast n add to foods n drinks it really good for u you
Hello PawPaw I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving. You definitely look like the real Santa Claus. 😉 Don't be sampling to much wine before Christmas it could knock you out. I'd hate to see you miss Christmas. On one of my future videos I'll tell my subscribers to subscribe hopefully we can get you to 100,000. Take Care and stay warm!
I bottled up a gallon just before thanksgiving. I used the 3/4 cranberry 1/4 cherry juice. It came out excellent. I use a hydrometer to check specific gravity and it came out sweet at 1.022% specific gravity. It was excellent with the dinner.
I'm gonna have to try to make some in the summer. Since I'm gone for a month at a time, by the time I get back it ought to be done! Good video, by the way. Sorry about the chicks.
Very good video. I have learned the hard way NOT to put the yeast in, and then the sugar. I had one heck of a mess from it doing volcano out of the bottle. I siphon my wine into a new jug to get most of the sediment, then run it through a coffee filter. for those that want to bottle it...good luck. I tried it one time and came back home from an appointment, and the corks popped out. I still find new spots 2 years later that the wine exploded to. The wall 16 feet across the room was purple from concord grape wine. NEVER AGAIN! P.S. PAPA...if you have not made wine from apple juice yet, OMG do it. It's my wife's favorite.
Good video, but every time you make a wine making one, I get this fever, now I want to make me some of that , Cranberry cocktail, I didn't think you could use that, interesting.
Always appreciate ya, PawPaw! :) And thanks for the reminder. I have two of those bottles of grape juice waitin' for me to make into wine. I like it sweeter so I'll bump the sugar up just a tad rather than knockin' it down. But I think I'll see if I can find some of that cranberry juice cocktail. After all, gotta have some variety. LOL!! Merry Christmas! :)
Sorry to hear about your birds my friend. Just bottled a batch of honeycrisp apple wine using your recipe and it came out yeast-forward, funky, and not great compared to a batch of cran-cherry I had made. Wound up filtering, mulling, and fortifying it, and after doing that and backsweetening, it's significantly better. Now that it's cold, I worry that I don't have a warm enough place in my house to set up a batch for Christmas, but I'd like to get a set going. Thanks for another video.
There's an old trick I like to use during the Winter months, which greatly speeds up the entire process (you & paw paw can thank me later :^) set/wrap your container on/in a small heating pad. Just be mindful to use it with common sense to eliminate all risk of fire...ie/eg...I actually put everything on a concrete floor, in the middle of a basement, with no one & nothing else around it + I also plug the heating pad into a fused power strip. Happy Holidays everyone & to those that celebrate Christmas... Have a Merry Christmas!
Pawpaw.... Oh my how you been.... I remember watching your videos a few years back... Made some awsome wine since. Glad to see your still making videos and doin it cheap... Hugs and cheers
Great idea! Glad I thought of that the previous year ! LOL ! Check out my Winemaking playlist on my homepage for all of my wine videos ! And THANK YOU for subscribing !!
hey pawpaw, hope you're doing well. I've never filtered my wine either and it always turned out fine. this year however i'm making a hard cider with extra ingredients i cant leave in so i'll be filtering too. I sure hope you had a great thanksgiving pawpaw, thanks for the videos over the years!
Your videos always bring a smile to my face. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas PawPaw. If your wife likes Merlot then maybe try a 1/2 cup+/- of plain, black tea, steeped for 5 minutes for extra "pucker" factor. Just add it with the rest of your ingredients.
I made your wine with white grape and it came out very good and I also made water wine or whatever you wanna call it but after 36 days it's still bubbling like crazy
Hiya Bob, I get some shine off a friend and once in awhile it has that corn taste that is over powering so I just run it threw a charcoal filter that cleans it right up works with wine to I think I got them on eBay lol but if I was doing a lot I would just pump it threw a canister filter. it sure does make it taste better and is a lot clearer , be safe and happy wine making
You can get really high strength wine yeast that the Russians use online. 14% alc/vol alcohol content guaranteed, can get up to 20%. A little goes a long way, pretty cheap too (:
I reuse 28 ounce Zero Sugar Powerade bottles for everything. I like the wide-mouth bottles and cap. I don't like drinking from a glass. Between me being clumsy and the cats knocking it over it's bound to be a mess. Merry Christmas Bob!
Cranberry wine made from juice is great. My family and friends all love it. I always have some going, right now I've got 3 gallons going (2-cranberry, 1-raspberry/cran).
They make a “permanent” filter out of plastic and mesh. With the right funnel, it sets in there well and holds the paper filter also. It’s much faster and no need to press the holder.
made your wine manymany times..at first i filterd it with coffee filter..perfectly fine..but i did notice it lost some color and juice flavor that way..still tasted great just more alcohol taste then juice...now i just sifen it out till gets close to bottom and rack it twice..also experimented with the sugar n yeast..cup is great..one thing you can always do is add a little sugar when done...a lil sprite or 7up taste great too
😭 I am so sorry to hear about your incubator incident..... I live in SW Pennsylvania south of Pittsburgh and raise Modern Game Bantams. Iv incubated for 20+ years and still have accidents once in a while. I feel your pain 😢
Filtering Is to each is on but 100percent juice don't need filtering. I've made wine from pas recipe for a few years now and it turns out top notch every time. He may remember me saying the white grape peach juice was awesome.
Just to let you know I made me my first juice wine grape My God it was strong drank the whole bottle in 1 night got so drunk Woke up next morning with a busting headache and dry mouth Never drinking the whole bottle Ever again Never had wine this strong before either haha
Paw paw just an idea but you should let your son do a few videos. I would love to hear some paw paw stories from when he was growing up. Not all of us had a paw paw as wise and nice as you.
When I have made your wine recipe, I use an airlock on top of the plastic jug using vodka or rubbing alcohol in it to contain the bubbles for sanitary purposes. I also place the jug next to the water heater upstairs, which is a nice dark closet. Also wrap a small fleece or warm blanket around to keep it warm. I leave it alone for the most part, check once a week on the airlock to see if it has enough liquid when it's bubbling. :)
I love how paw paw makes good wine from juice and does it cheap. I tried making juice wine once and holy crap it did not taste the greatest but did it ever have a lot of booze content wowy lol I’ll have to try again and see if I can make a good tasting one outta juice. I’m good at making wine from raw fruit and squeezing it down myself but it gets so darn expensive and I wouldn’t mind saving a few bucks trying it paw paws way
I’m so excited to have some nice cranberry wine from the juice I just bought I checked it today after just getting it started yesterday and it’s already fermenting away. I guess I’ll be having some Christmas wine
After I do my wine this way, before bottling I have to add natural juice to my batch in it makes it not to strong n adds natural flavor n not to strong n smooth
Last October I made 3 bottles wine, 1 each of cranberry, red grape, and white grape, using your recipe exactly the same on all 3. The White grape was dry, the red grape was a medium sweet and the cranberry was very sweet. I suppose the white grape had less sugar in the juice, so the yeast ate it all.
Paw paw, I put my wine in an ice chest. It fits 6 bottles and keeps them darkand holds in possible messes. Since the weather got cold, I tried laying a heating pad over the tops of the bottles to warm the chest up. I will see if this helps.
Id love a bottle of that right now got my first ever cidar fermenting just used bread yeast and raisins in this one. Figure I’ll get actual yeast next time around. Only been 10 days kinda inpatient! D:
I'm going to buy a full on water filter pitcher tomorrow from walmart. Looks like they run around $15 at my local one. I've heard of people using something like that to make vodka and other liquors more "smooth" I think it will work great for a homemade wine.
Hope u had a very Merry Christmas and a joyus New Year. How did the wine turn out with the 1cup a sugar. My wife doesn't like it to sweet either. Tom Doyen From Minnesota
Its the wine where if you're leaning against something and drink a few swallows and go to lean in the other direction you will find out. Merry Christmas to you all!
Made my first batch Oct 23 of 23 and I haven't filtered it or tried it yet because of temp flux ,it was high 40 s for 3 weeks here in Maine so inside it didn't get above the low 60s how long should I let it go before testing it
Hey Paw Paw. I just made my first batch of wine just about the way you tell us to. Is there any reason to shake the bottle during the fermentation process, or just leave it set? Thanks for all your helpful videos!
Hey Paw Paw, how do you know when it is finished fermenting? Can it be bottled too soon? I don't want a huge mess to happen when I am least expecting it.
I’ve been making wine for 30 years and it’s an absolutely fun hobby. I love your videos.
That is awesome!
Always good to see PawPaw doing something to show us even though many of us have watched and done the wine recipe. Thanks for sharing again.
Thanks for watching!
You Are The Best 👍
I had to stop my PawPaws winemaking due to technica; difficulties. I sure is fun getting a a refresher course. Thank you PawPaw
Pawpaw your wine is Awesome, you’re Awesome too PawPaw. 👍👍👍
Your wine turned out awesome. My daughter and I drank alot.😊

GOT 4 COOKING DOWN IN BASEMENT, 3 STARTED THE 3RD NOV. ONE ON THE 24TH!! GOOD STUFF WHEN DONE.!!! Didnt care for White Grape.
I siphon into a pitcher clean the jugs out. If I have 2 or more bottles of the same stuff I top off the jugs and put remaining in a smaller bottle or just have a partial jug.
I use one of those big gravy funnels with the screen and a big wad of cheese cloth if I need to filter when I'm going from the pitcher back to the jugs.
Of course if I have enough of the same juice I make a jug in a old clean jug I wash out with a little bleach if not I make a jug with all the different juices and half the time that turns out to be the best jug lol.

I add a half of fresh lemon cut up for reducing disinfectant n a half orange n help for a yeast nutrient
Hey Bob! Try using a heating pad on low and put the bottles of fermenting wine on top of the heating pad instead of using the heated aquarium!!😊🎉🎉
Great idea! Glad I thought of that the previous year ! LOL ! Check out my Winemaking playlist on my homepage for all of my wine videos ! And THANK YOU for subscribing !!

Hey paw paw, I made mine with cran- raspberry. Oh so good. Thanks paw. Mike from NC
That is awesome!
Howdy PawPaw! Thanks for the update.
Thanks I'm glad I found you again. Yes I was subscribed doing it again
Welcome back!
Paw paw. My apple wine came out tasting like apple beer! It’s good! Even carbonated!
Oh wow!
It ain't done yet. Gonna be a shitty Christmas at his house. @@DoingItCheap
new invention the Mr. coffee wine decanter
You are wonderful ❤
I reuse 28 ounce Zero Sugar Powerade bottles for everything. I like the wide-mouth bottles and cap. I don't like drinking from a glass. Between me being clumsy and the cats knocking it over it's bound to be a mess. Merry Christmas Bob!
Thanks for new recipe 🎉
Hope you enjoy
I decreased the sugar to half a cup for a dry wine and it came out really good.
Cranberry wine made from juice is great. My family and friends all love it. I always have some going, right now I've got 3 gallons going (2-cranberry, 1-raspberry/cran).

I've made mash that I ran through a still with bread yeast, it works and works well.
Just made some cherry and mango wine vant wait to see how that turns out

Hey Pawpaw! Good too see you! I just finished off another Concord Grape wine last night. I love your recipe!
Sounds great!
Love making your wine. And I got another I make.
music is absolutely the best -keep up the excellent videos.
I share with my closest friends.....
ME, MYSELF and I! 😇
hello Paw Paw
I'm making a batch now
This is a great Video my First wine batch tasted like Lambrusco!!!
Happy holidays, and keep making wine videos, and you will draw in more subscribers, I'm sure 😆
👍❤️✌️🙏🇺🇸🥂
Now theres a santa claus i tell ya what, I jus love yer videas there all just so bright an happy.
👋 hi Paw Paw, U look great SANTA. 🍷🧑🎄
I don't have your on line address to request a Christmas card 🌲⛄
Paw Paw 🙏🏻 Thank you so very much for my card 🎅🏼Merry Christmas to you and yours ❤
You are so welcome
I find cranberry seems the tastiest so far
Filtering Is to each is on but 100percent juice don't need filtering. I've made wine from pas recipe for a few years now and it turns out top notch every time. He may remember me saying the white grape peach juice was awesome.

Good evening paw paw 💕
Interested to hear if this batch turns out drier. Hopefully the man at the um, er... alternative salvage yard enjoys his bottle!
When I have made your wine recipe, I use an airlock on top of the plastic jug using vodka or rubbing alcohol in it to contain the bubbles for sanitary purposes.

Rubbing alcohol is poisonous and should never be used in your airlock

After I do my wine this way, before bottling I have to add natural juice to my batch in it makes it not to strong n adds natural flavor n not to strong n smooth
Could one use Espresso flavorings sugar water as a mix in?

The White grape was dry, the red grape was a medium sweet and the cranberry was very sweet. I suppose the white grape had less sugar in the juice, so the yeast ate it all.
Yes, different juices have different amounts of fructose.
Merry Christmas my friend
Same to you!
Paw paw, I put my wine in an ice chest. It fits 6 bottles and keeps them darkand holds in possible messes. Since the weather got cold, I tried laying a heating pad over the tops of the bottles to warm the chest up. I will see if this helps.
th-cam.com/video/mJT72iq88LA/w-d-xo.html
Cool. I missed that one somehow.
Another way is to put water in the ice chest and use an aquarium heater. It doesn't use as much electricity and you can set the temperature.
Hi❤
Id love a bottle of that right now got my first ever cidar fermenting just used bread yeast and raisins in this one. Figure I’ll get actual yeast next time around. Only been 10 days kinda inpatient! D:
Thank you Bob for the Christmas Card your a heck of a man but just no way to send you one back
Not saying I can't send you one bubby just no mail box address
I'm sorry about your loss. Just know that we ALL make mistakes like this. It is annoying to be human sometimes.
I'm going to buy a full on water filter pitcher tomorrow from walmart. Looks like they run around $15 at my local one. I've heard of people using something like that to make vodka and other liquors more "smooth" I think it will work great for a homemade wine.
Let us know how it works for you !!
YES SIR!@@DoingItCheap
It won't do anything for your wine.
YES GREAT !
I have not made some wine in a long time - must do it again, but we're having a very HOT summer here in SA, so I am wondering how long it will take.
Not long. Just a few weeks.
I'm guessing wine can be made from juice made with frozen concentrate.
Absolutely Search my channel for EASY FAST CHEAP. That was my first video making wine years ago. I also have a winemaking playlist on my homepage
Hope u had a very Merry Christmas and a joyus New Year. How did the wine turn out with the 1cup a sugar. My wife doesn't like it to sweet either.
Tom Doyen
From Minnesota
my daughter likes the lower sugar recipe
Did ur wife like the one with the 1 cup of sugar
Yes she did.
Its the wine where if you're leaning against something and drink a few swallows and go to lean in the other direction you will find out. Merry Christmas to you all!
that coffee ain't gonna wake anybody up!😴
Hey Paw Paw Can I Use a Reusable Basket Filter to Filter My Wine Will It Work? Just Like The Paper Ones?
I don't think it is fine enough, but that is just my opinion.
So Paw Paw can u pour the whole jug including the sidligs in the coffee filter or stop when they start coming?
So Paw paw do u filter the whole works even the settlings with the coffee filters or stop when they settlings stop coming? Yes or no
me and the old lady rooting for your 100K Pawpaw.
spread the word and have your friends help !! Gonna get wild after YT sends that plaque !!!
Paw paw how long after you mix it up do you have to wait for the wine to be ready
Over three weeks.
Get 'em Papaw!
Made my first batch Oct 23 of 23 and I haven't filtered it or tried it yet because of temp flux ,it was high 40 s for 3 weeks here in Maine so inside it didn't get above the low 60s how long should I let it go before testing it
Until no bubbles are visible.
Paw Paw I make my wine with 1 1/8 cups of sugar for 1/2 gallon.
Hey Paw Paw. I just made my first batch of wine just about the way you tell us to. Is there any reason to shake the bottle during the fermentation process, or just leave it set? Thanks for all your helpful videos!
Set it and FORGET it for 30 days.
Hey Paw Paw, how do you know when it is finished fermenting? Can it be bottled too soon? I don't want a huge mess to happen when I am least expecting it.
When no bubbles are present.
