Well I just saw this vid so I'm a little late to the party but..... Congrats on becoming a grand dad! Oh and I am going to try this cherry wine out after christmas. It will be my First real fruit wine.
Congrats on the grandchild! Was looking forward to your feedback on this one, I plan on getting a batch going soon. How would you rank this among all the wines you've made?
Just picked 7 lbs of cherries i put them in a strainer pot add a little over 2 gallons water, as it was heating up started smashing by hand all cherries, heated water just to a boil, cut heat add 3 lbs white sugar and 2 lbs brown sugar! Remove and strain all fruit skin and seeds! I used red star bread yeast instead of wine yeast! I let it ferment for 7 days tasting dang good then added another cup of white sugar! Gonna let it finish fermenting then i will transfer to a secondary and thinking about adding some oak chips to the secondary! I could add lemon and black tea never thought about that! Any thoughts on this? Thanks for the video
Just curious, you started with 6 lbs of fresh cherries what was the weight of pitted cherries? Would 5 lbs of frozen be equivalent? Thank you for making these wonderful videos.
It's MUST not MUSK. That's been driving me crazy for years. Must is wine before fermentation (simplified), where musk is a smell, normally associated with deer and their mating habits.

Got some going last month....used a cherry pitter that did 6 at a time before freezing them.
Another great video, I have really been enjoying your channel.
Looks delicious, and congrats on the grandkid!

Awesome video ❤
Glad you liked it
Congratulations on becoming a grandpa! Good looking wine need to try making one!
Do you tale the stone out of the sherry?
Just curious, you started with 6 lbs of fresh cherries what was the weight of pitted cherries? Would 5 lbs of frozen be equivalent? Thank you for making these wonderful videos.
Sorry, the weight of the pitts was not a consideration in the making of this video.
I use frozen fruit alot for making wine in general 4lbs to a gallon and prefer lalvin k1-v1116 yeast for fruit wines and ec-1118 for grape wines.
What is the reason you pour the waste in a bag and put it in the tank?
Do you use the campden tablets and tannin with any of the cherry wines?
This channel prefers to use more natural alternatives instead.
@@DIYFermentation so is there an alternative.
Try making wine with Raisins, Cardamom, and Cinnamon next! Show us how you like that and call the video "Sobia" wine ;)
Can I add the black tea after fermentation for more tannins ?
I notice he didn't use the bread yeast in the tea bag boil/ yeast nutrients
This video was shot prior to my learning about homemade yeast nutrients, and I'm not really a big tannin fan for all my wines.
It's MUST not MUSK. That's been driving me crazy for years. Must is wine before fermentation (simplified), where musk is a smell, normally associated with deer and their mating habits.
only boil 1 quart of water = wait time cut in half 🤷♂️
