The cost and canning video is up for anyone interested in the price for this project. I also show how I transfer the finished product into Mason Jars. ua-cam.com/video/yfYWn93oJiU/v-deo.htmlsi=9wdRzjNNg_Nz-x_q
@LucasPalmer-tv9sr I'm finding that out with this new yeast I'm using. It is very aggressive. My last batch I seriously took it down to about a third of the packet. This was with the Lalvin EC-1118 wine yeast. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching! It is greatly appreciated and hopefully your info will help others!
@@BushcraftingBogan You might also mention to your viewers that the Yeast can be reused. Once you've racked off / decanted your finished brew, add more grape juice and sugar to the sediment in the bottom of your container, and it'll set off again usually within the hour.
Thank you for the great info. This is the kind of stuff people should learn for future use as well. Case in point...Covid 19. All 'non essential' businesses were closed and all we had were supermarkets. Not all of them sell wine. So with this method, you can make it yourself from the food stores. Love it!!
@paulafowler5099 I always keep a Mason Jar or 2 in the refrigerator. I forgot to record how I jar it. But I filter it through a coffee filter held over the mason Jar by the ring. I also have a mason jar vacuum sealer so I seal it and then refrigerate it. I'm not a big wine drinker, but I can honestly say that this tastes better than some of the stuff I bought in high school. Lol
@marlboromemories I have a batch about ready. I completely forgot to show how I transfer it to a Mason jar. I'll show how I filter and vacuum seal it with this next round. Keep an eye out for the video possibly next week. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@stephenshort8113 During the summer I keep my house fairly cool when I'm home and have had no issues getting the wine to "fizz". You might also try keeping it in a garage or shed inside of a cardboard box.
You’re wasting expensive yeast. One packet is designed to be sufficient for 5 gallons of wine, so just over 1/4 teaspoon is enough for the small batch that you are making.
@user-ty4xw6fe1s Yes, With the EC-1118 I found it was very explosive. I cut it back to a 1/3 packet. Several others have brought this to my attention as well and in the instructions in the description I made sure to mention the change. With the other yeast I was using I had no problems with a full pack (foaming). And since I didn't know when I'd ever use it again I saw no harm. But in the next video I did correct the recipe. Thank you for watching and for commenting. I don't mind learning and improving. It is greatly appreciated
@warrenmccarty256 Back when I was in high school I heard that a balloon would be used. I'm not sure I would trust it, nor would I know what size balloons to use. But I am considering using an airlock given that I do this often enough to justify it. Plus the cost of an airlock is minimal. However, the loose cap has worked fine for me.
Hey thank you for the video but i have a question, what if i just use a cheap, not 100% pure juice instead? I live in a country where a bottle of 100% pure juice is gonna cost me about as much as a bottle of cheapest wine, so i dont really have budget for that.
It may or may not ferment because of the additives look up the additives you need to look out for in pretty sure there’s a couple sulfates or some shi but watch a vid on it and it could work.
@rindinsan4028 Lucas gave a great response. As I understand from others is that the other preservatives will hinder fermentation. I mentioned in the video that for DIYers sometimes it's not about cost, but about creating it yourself. Here in the US this is still a bit cheaper than buying 2 bottles of cheap Merlot. My suggestion is to try it and relax in the satisfaction that you made it. But if it is cost prohibitive, then just do it when you can for the fun of it.
i just started some frutie but the e has a line on top. its a canadian juice.i chose the grape flavour. i have done it before. it went dry on me but i cant remember what yeast i used. this time i used bread yeast. if you reply let us know how your brew is doing.
@kill4za I started doing it with bread yeast. It will do just fine. I learned that the new wine yeast I tried doesn't require as much as it foams up fast. So if you go with this yeast I used in the video, cut it down to about 1/3 of the packet.

Dude said sit back with a glass at the end of the day... I'm a drunk sir, I'll drink it straight outta the bottle. 💯
@@haydenyork8414 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@BushcraftingBogan Family size
I put one bottle 2 grape fruit 3 oranges juice only in a gallon jug 4 cups sugar , water till good 3/4 full , put the yeast in
You don’t need to add the whole packet you can use about a third and get the same exact result the yeast mutiplies by the millions

Curious for the hardcore wino's, how many glasses till they stood up and went 🥴

@@garlichr I did not know that! Thank you for the information!
@@BushcraftingBogan It has saved me a fortune over the years mate 😊👍

Hey man show us how it turned out. Great video by the way just got into this hobby and there’s definitely a lot to learn

Good way to start I'm doing the same thing testing for my own taste 😊
It's easy and fun to do. And to be honest it tastes better than some of what I use to buy in stores back before "carding" became mandatory. 😉
If you dilute sugar and yeast separetely with the juice it is less work because you add it warm and spead up the fermentation
Do you need to use a heat pad under the bottle if your storage place isn't too warm
@stephenshort8113 During the summer I keep my house fairly cool when I'm home and have had no issues getting the wine to "fizz".

Hmm, well, CO2 is heavier than air so that should work.
I just never wanted to go that route myself
I use bread yeast 😂
@@lamplight1636 Yep. It works just fine. Plus it is readily available at any grocer store. It does have its advantages

@@BushcraftingBogan Thank you, yes i see the creative elements of it but im just looking for a cheaper way to get hammered hahhaa. Good work!

@PaulKate322 Thank You!
if you ever make this again would love a taste test. i started it today with bread yeast but wine yeast sounds like its the way to go flavor wise.
