    i picked a small unmaintained vineyard with mostly kekfrankos, and othello i think,and some white Olaz reisling. let it ferment on the skins for 2 weeks, then used mesh that we normally use on the bladder press that keeps the cake together. i just pressed by hand since i did not have enough for the press. its in a glass Carboy still fermenting as of today, about 3 weeks going so far. about 50 or 60 liters . im not expecting much, but its the first wine I'm making from grapes. I just come to help with the normal vineyard harvest in Hungary

      @@hummingbird3771 I just got back from Hungary, My wine from last year did not clear enough. i did my first racking since late last year so it sat for one year. its needs one more year to settle and clear. It had nice flavor but was not ready. This year, I only picked the red grapes, as the white didn't have a nice flavor so i left them. It is mostly kekfrankos. It took 2 or 3 weeks to ferment and left with the skins the whole time. about 50 liters. The vineyard will get a pruning this year for the first time in 3 or 4 years. It is not sprayed as most are in the area due to rain, so its very natural and there are many insects in the vineyard. where are your grapes located? USA?

    I was delighted to stumble on this youtube channel today! Having been a beer brewer for a long time, I very much enjoyed watching the experiment to this point. I have a number of sanitation ideas for the process demonstrated without adding sulfites but it will be interesting to see how it progresses! Of course in the past, they had no knowledge of the sanitation practices we know today and we know they made excellent wines so I hope to see success in the subsequent videos. Very cool!

    Amazing you wanted to go through the no additive process, so I just had a blend of grapes and placed it in my refrigerator not intended for a wine process and I noticed the fermentation process, so I pop the lid which was gassy. Looks like if you are not making to much of it you can go through the refrigerator method placing it at the less refrigeratored section of your fridge monitor it and result was amazing. Had it in there for at least 3 months.

    We took a different approach to pressing the fruit. We use a clean cotton pillowslip and place the grapes inside, knot the open end, and continually press and twist it over a plastic bin. As the juice starts filling the bin, we continue twisting and ringing until the juice ceases to flow. I find that if you do it well the remaining skins in the pillow slip will be quite dry and can be dumped into a composter. We then funnel the juice into the carboy. After rinsing the slip in a bucket removing any remaining bits, it be washed and reused.

    If I wanted to try a spontaneous fermentation (which I never have) I would keep a sachet of commercial yeast on hand...just in case. Vineyards that spread spent skins and stems (post fermentation) underneath the vines may have fruit with a robust naturalized yeast population; if this isn't the case, spontaneous fermentation is kind of a roll of the dice.

      My father, grandfather and great-grandfather used to make wine. They never added yeast, but rather let it ferment on its own. The wine will be more authentic, there will be more significant differences between wines from each year. The only problem with that is if you have too few wine, it might not ferment well. My ancestors used 50l demijohn bottles, sometimes 35l, it might be dangerous in case of smaller amount of wine. There is also a risk of fermentation into vinegar, but it's extremely rare, you would have to make some terrible mistake in order to make it go this way.

    Right video at the right time! A friend of mine has got a lot of grapes from the winter garden of his grandfather and he does not know what to do with them so I told him to make wine out of it and sent him a link to your video!
    Moreover some questions came into my mind while I was watching it. At first I asked myself why you try to keep the fermentation bottle warm? Was it so get a fast start of the fermentation to get the must proteted by the CO2 which is created through it? As far as I know there are a lot of different kinds of yeast and some do their work at lower temperatures while others work on higher ones so it might have worked at lower temperatures aswell. I also asked myself if it really was necessary to add professional wine yeast to protect the must. That little space between the must and the fermentation lock musst have been filled with CO2 and therefore protect it from reacting with O2 no matter how fast the fermentation goes on. That is also why I asked myself what for you put that additional must in the seperate bottle because CO2 is heavier than O2 so it sinks down and therefore should seperate the oxygen from the must.Last but not least I have a hint for those who also want to try making wine themselves. If it gets to strenuous to squeeze out the grapes by hand: Put a bag around the head of a sledgehammer and use this but don't hammer it into the grapes because if you destroy the pips your must could get bitter.PS: Sorry for those many questions but your video really caught me and gave me a lot of ideas.

    • @KonstantinBaumMasterofWine
      @KonstantinBaumMasterofWine  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks for sharing the video and good luck to your friend!
      Many questions indeed :) I will try to answer them all:
      When you do a spontaneous fermentation there are very few yeasts cells in the must in the beginning. They need ideal conditions to start fermenting the must and multiplying. Warm temperatures help them do that. Low temperature fermentations are usually done using cultured yeasts.
      When the fermentation starts CO2 develops and the must should be protected by the CO2. When the fermentation is very slow there might not be enough CO2 to protect the must and this might mean that the juice can go bad. Remember that there is also CO2 in the air that you breath, but not enough, to protect your apple juice to go bad after a few days outside of the fridge.
      With a slow fermentation there is also the risk of the fermentation stopping and then you might end up with a semi-sweet, unprotected juice. Restarting fermentation can be tricky, as there is less sugar & more alcohol than usual and the yeasts that you would add in this case might not like their environment.
      Since I added cultured yeasts everything runs much more smoothly. I might have been fine without adding anything but this is just safer and probably the better way for my first homemade wine.
      The sledgehammer idea will certainly make it easier to press but I would be worried, that it is a bit rough and might bring some bitterness.

      @spiritalex9397 4 роки тому +1

      @@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine Ah okay, just thought if the bubbles go out of the fermentation bottle that there might be nothing left but CO2 in the fermentation bottle because you already have some overpressure in it.
      Thats why I wrote that nobody should use the sledgehammer really as a hammer. Just use its weight. However, thank you very much for your detail answer! I am really looking forward to the second part of this project!

    Hello, nice video. I am very sad because your wine did not start fermenting.
    I had similar case, and maybe it was also your case.
    So, I remember last year i did something like that. One of my wine did not start fermenting and other wines were fine.
    Only difference was because from wine that did not start fermenting i removed mash, and left only juice.
    Probably mash contain a lot of yeast and nutrition needed for them, also oxygen and nitrogen.
    Now i never remove mash before fermentation starts. When i see that mash is bubbling and that there is strong fermentation going, only then i separate mash from juice.

      That's true. The wild yeasts are living on the skins and keeping them can help starting the ferment. But it also changes the wine a lot... So there is a trade off. Maybe next time I try to ferement the wine on the skins and make an "orange wine".

      You can also grow your wild yeast. Just smash some grapes, not washed, like 100-200g. Add there some water and sugar. In 2-5 days yeast should start working. You can then smell them. And if everything is good, use it like starter. Sometimes i grow wild yeast and didnt like smell. Sometimes fermentation did not started. So i not used that yeast. But when i have good yeast then i start making wine. Or put yeast to fridge, and use them when make wine 🙂

    I got my white grapes to natural ferment in a bucket because I pressed with my feet. The foot is a great source of natural yeast, it's why foot stomping was traditionally done; after they're rinsed in hot water of course! I added Champagne yeast after my hydrometer dropped 13% to 10% potential ABV to carry it through to dry, after getting a touch of wild flavor. I punched it down on the must for 6 days, for a Georgian style orange. I'm down with low intervention wine, but unless you're in a winery/vineyard inoculated with a proven strong strain of yeast, it's a gamble to give a wild strain total control.
