Hi Joel , I've been making wine exactly to your recipe and it is exceptional . My question is : if I make 5 gallons , do I use 5 x the ingredients ? I have acquired a 5 gallon brewing bucket and I'm keen to try it out . Regards
I used to regularly use concentrated Ribena juice, it goes further and is cheap. It needs simmered for around 15 minutes or so or apparently' it won't ferment. They must put something in it to prevent it from fermenting, I can't remember as this was around 30 years ago. I left it (all the wine I made) in the demijohn until 100% clear before bottling, this could take up to 3 to 6 months, always left in the dark too. The nicest wine (more like a Port) took 6 years to clear. well, I gave up checking after 3 or 4 years tbh...a plum wine with super strong 17% yeast; amazing flavour! I used to make wine in those 5 gallon containers as well as demijohns...beer too; now I rarely drink and drink little...I had enough 'fun' 🤣Oh' now I prefer the odd cup of Irish coffee and/or Irish cream, too much is sickening...I like that, it's like having brakes on a vehicle, it's easier to stop; I can't stand hangovers.
@@rockhopper5679 worked it out it helps keep the flavour of te juice, got gallons of produce here now haha, also I put a cup of tea with 3 tea bags in it for tannins, since I use cranberry and orange and not grapes where I would usually get the tannins - also for flavour
Is there a reason why some don't boil the water and the sugar? I had thought everything was supposed to be sterile. Thanks, I am going to try it this week.
luv the laid back wine making vibe

I make Turbo cider all the time, banging stuff 👌 apple juice brewing sugar and yeast
how long does it last though? I assumed it would go off after being bottled
Is that the southern Morrisons? Grape, apple and raspberry sounds a tad too posh. Don't think they'll bother getting it in round here.

Sounds like you should crack out the demijohns again!
Pure grape juice is £2.80 per cartoon in Tescos ATM, cheaper to just buy wine lol!
What is the pectolace for?
I was thinking the same

I'm guessing by the spelling, you never did A-level biology?

I’ve always just poured the sugar and yeast straight into the bottle the juice came in. Never had a problem
@@janstewart2041 Oh, thanks for the info.
I've looking to make this wine, I have youngs Camden tabs, super yeast, pectolase and citric acid can I make this wine with these? Thanks
Have you tried brewing any other flavours successfully?
I tried one with pomegranate which did not work so well. I’ve only really used a combination of grape/apple juice as it works so well!
Do I have to use all the products because I didn’t want to add ones that make alcohol just non alcoholic
What ?
You can leave them all out and pour yourself a glass of grape juice 🤗
@@JoelsStuff okay 🤣
@@alwaysgettingwrecked6604 I wanted to know how to make non alcoholic wine
So you are able to keep your house at 19° continuously ? That’s expensive wine 😉
Please put the Arabic translation. I am a good follower of you and benefited from you very much ... Thank you, always with success and success.
Hi Mohamed, thank you! I can’t see how or where to enable this, do you know how?
@@JoelsStuff Captions in YT studio.
what percent ABV is it?
I haven’t taken any measurements but it’s about 12%
I made a sour cherry wine. I am drinking it right now. But this is very dry and it gives me heart burn. Nice alcohol content though
Really mwa? I made this (well rasp and apple) and it has the kick of rocket fuel and tastes just as ripe 😂😂🚀
I'm literally drinking it now and it's mwa! Call me a non-fussy drinker :)
