This brings back fond memories PawPaw, The year was 1977. I was 12 years old and about a month into 7th grade. Our chemistry teacher that year taught us how to make wine from koolaide. Almost like your most peculiar wine. Instead he told us to make koolaide and add an extra cup of sugar to a half gallon, add yeast and a balloon with a pinhole to the top. My very first was rootbeer koolaide wine LOL. There was a classfull of 12 year olds that had gotten drunk off their homemade koolaide wine that year. Rock on PawPaw! I enjoy your videos.
I couldn't sleep Tuesday night so I started watching how to make cheap wine. I now have 7 jugs of paw paws recipe under my sink hahahaha. And I've been watching your videos for the past 2 days non stop while I'm on vacation
Well I've seen a couple of your videos PawPaw, but your intro got me and my family to subscribe. Was told that your intro so depicts myself and my surroundings, glad there are more of us out there. So thanks for putting it to song and for all the tips and ticks, keep up the good work and keep chugging - from NZ
When we were kids and thirsty my Mama used to say, "Have some duck wine (water)." I guess that's what you just made. I've been looking for a way to make my own supply of alcohol and I guess I just found it.
I was recently relieved of my financial wellbeing but I still like going on a liquid vacation from time to time...thanks to your uploads I've been able to do just that. I used to drink Chateau neuf de Pope on a daily basis, but $60-$80 dollar bottles of wine are currently not an option for me so I've taken to drinking your Chateau neuf de Poop. It's not good or bad..just a different means to an end. Thanks for your tutorial.
What a flashback!! I'm going back watching your old video's about wine making. (I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago) I remember my Uncle making wine back in the '50's. He would take a couple of bottles, put in the mix then put a balloon on the bottle. He put the bottles on top of the refrigerator, where it's a little warmer, then over a few weeks the balloon would inflate then after a while they would go down. He always said, "when the balloon goes down, the wine is ready" being a little boy I never knew what exactly he meant, now I know. I've got to try this method. Your a lot of fun Paw Paw!! I watched both of your live streams yesterday, what a Hoot!!!
I can see this was made some time back but I just found your channel a short while ago. I love your videos, attitude & laugh! I can't wait to try some of your recipes. Thank you!
i don't know how I even found your channel ...but I sure am glad I did.....when i get missin' Kentucky.....and my dad......i can just put your videos on and it takes me back.......lol .....keep doin' what your doin!
I make Kool-Aid wine all the time and yes I make the wash first let it run for at least 14 days maybe longer then I rack it out and add whatever Kool-Aid flavor I want I let it sit for another weak at least maybe 2 weeks then I rack it again. it has a beautiful color a real good flavor and probably about 14% apv I use bread yeast
Hello from Western Kentucky. You asked that we wait until our wine was finished before asking you any questions and I did. I don't have any questions, because it worked fantastic! My homemade blackberry wine, made with our own blackberries tested out 10% alcohol! I watched your easy to make wine videos, because I thought I should be able to freeze distill homemade wine into alcohol I could use to make tinctures and such. Never thought the day would come when I couldn't go to a store and buy vodka to make stuff from, but here we are, 2020, wearing masks, social distancing, and waiting for the government to tell us what to do next. Granny don't like that. Thank you for your help.
@@DoingItCheap I am. If I had the money I'd be a patreon or whatever it is they call that. Just a broke down old granny with a husband that has pain from nerve damage, after a surgery. The insurance company declared him healed and won't let him have anything else for pain, so I make my own stuff; 100% legal but a good tincture needs drinking alcohol. I don't ever want to get to the place I can't find it again.
Just started a half gallon with 1.5 packed cups of brown sugar, as well a half gallon with about a cup of white sugar and just over half a cup of honey. Gonna try freeze distilling them as there should be very very little methanol if any in a sugar fermentation. Also got a batch of your regular wine going from some Ocean Spray Cran-Grape, should be awesome. I'm considering fortifying some of that with some jacked up Most Peculiar Wine. I had started a batch a couple weeks ago from a different video using a jug and an airlock, and while it did seem to work, your method is a lot simpler. Thank you PawPaw, you now have a new subscriber :)
This beginner made this "alcohol Wash" as his second try of PawPaws recipies. I mixed what I got together with Liptons ice tea (the one With powder in a bag). MAN it was good! Thank you PawPaw! :)
Hi Paw Paw. We are42 days into prohibition here in South africa so I thought I would try your peculiar wine. I did ad instructed in a 2L bottle. It's in it's 15th day and still very fizzy but no head or scum on the top. Does that sound right to you? Great channel by the way I have about 20 L of fruit juice on the go too.
As long as it is still bubbling, it is still making alcohol. When it is finished, I usually put a shot of lemon juice in a glass of ice and pour this over it. It also works great with an UNsweetened drink mix. One brand we have here is KoolAid.
I tried it in a gallon jug I just double the recipe and it came out amazing. FACT it tasted a little stronger than that MD 20/20. Of course, I refrigeratored it before.
I started a batch on the 16th Jan', I did change it though, I first caramelized the sugar, it is presently sitting in the corner of the room bubbling like crazy, will let you known how it turns out, I cant wait to try it! On the same day I also started a Sizer and a blueberry wine from juice, each batch is 10 liters.... FYI, I live in Indonesia where the room temperature is rarely below 25c, usually it is 30c, how much effect do you think this will have? Keep the video's coming... Regards Fred... (P.S.: I have never made wine before so it should be interesting!)
I had just tested my batch of Peculiiar Wine. I will tell you it will kick your butt and You will have most Awesome Ride of your life......You will not get disappointed.
Hey Pawpaw, I just did a batch of your water sugar and yeast "only" thing......And the only thing I did different was I put about 12 frozen strawberries in it and man let me tell you it's good!!!!!😀 Always love you keep up the good work 😘
PAW PAW, I'm making some of your wine. Can't hardly wait till the first of July - Tasting time. Love ALL your Video's. YOU have a wonderful day, and a better Tomorrow...
Rhubarb gives plenty of juice and is a fine wine. One note ~ it is very bubble even when a wide shoulder is left within the jug. I just let it rock and spit some and replace the air-lock with a clean one. It only gets better.
I just tried it out I did exactly as Paw Paw described And I have Faith because I listened to him before and all of my other batches were awesome and I was having so much fun Listening and learning how to make wine at home
What I find to be so funny is when someone tells me I need to get used a particular wine. If I don't like the taste on the first sip, that's it for me. Take it back or take it away.
You could mix it with crushed sweet-tarts candy and have a bite to it as well as flavor. You could call this Wino Wine, or Tart-n-Tasty Social Lubricator, or even Inhibition Remover No. 9.
Hey Paw Paw, I know that they make MD020 in that pretence but, the fortify it with a little something to give the winnos some kind of minerals to give them a little some thing t. Then Thunderbird also did the same kind of thing that they used to sell to the indian tribe just outside of the town I lived by and they would fortify that as well ! I saw the put a coffee like you drink the freeedried coffee. Any way they would try to just give them any thing to keep them from getting ahchol poisening. That is what they used too tell us in our health class. I guess health class should have showed us how to make it too ! Take care and we will see you in the next video !
If you want to be fancy with this recipe, its a Swedish Kilju recipe that got a lot of poor people through a serious economic depression. Add a bit of lemon juice to it and its actually quite good
This video showed how using an empty booze bottle can be reused. Keeping in the custom of DoingItCheap my 2 cents would say that bottle was plenty sanitized by what was in it before. 😊
I have made many batches of Paw Paws Peculiar wine and love it, this stuff kicks ass straight up, i have used honey even and wow that was very tasty, i have tried molasses as well but that tasted very bad to me hahahah i started out just learning how to make Paw Paws homemade wine then started to play around with different mixes of sugars upping the sugar which seems to work ok but not like it does if you follow the recipe, i am thinking if i use a distillers yeast my extra sugar may work just fine, if you do what Paw Paw tells you it will work, just listen to Paw Paw, learn how to make it first then go play with it all and figure out what you want out of it
for giggles next time make sugar syrup (water on stove get it hot add sugar, mix until completely dissolved.) set aside allow to cool to 100, add yeast pour n cap n wait
I was inspired to make the alcohol wash...Then I got to thinking...I have Tang in my preps. It already has some sugar so I just went for it...1 gallon Tang mix to 2 1/2 cups sugar, watered to about 3 and 1/2 qts.
I have a question....I followed step by step what you did in this video but added more sugar and yeast because i was makeing 1 gallon worth but it's been almost a week now and i have foam at the top and like maybe 10 bubbles in the jug but it's not fermenting like my grape wine is doing any idea what I did wrong?
I can tell you what you are doing right !!!! LOL !! Thanks for subscribing to my channels !! Now, the wine. You are gonna see more activity with the grape juice as there is not only sugar you added but the fructose from the grape juice. With the water, all you have for food to feed the yeast is the sugar you put in. It took my water about twice as long to cook off as the juice ones....... did you maintain the ratio of one quart, one cup, 1/4 teaspoon in your gallon jug ?
Bob, a few years ago I went to a renaissance fairer and they had mead. I tried it and it was incredibly good! It's made from honey. There are a few videos on UA-cam about making mead and I think that you'll like it
I went to a really good mead making class just yesterday, at a local brewing supply shop. The class was supposed to last 2 hours, but went on for more like 3. Had lots of great info from a guy who is opening up a brewery specializing in mead. We sampled several different meads, got a bit of a buzz and had a good time. Also ran into an old friend there who is now a beekeeper. Planning to get up with him in the spring to buy some honey from him, and possibly get my own hives started.
Its really delicious and basically similar to making the alcohol with juice and sugar and in this case, the honey is the sugar and juice. I think Bob will like it.
We got to sample several meads yesterday, made from a variety of honeys and flavored with various fruits, berries, herbs and spices. Each one was quite distinct, but all delicious. There was one called "tej", made using a honey from Ethiopia, and some kind of root I believe. Another, a French style called Bochet' was made by first cooking down the honey until it was caramelized. I think my favorite was made with cranberries and blood oranges. I plan to start a 3 gallon batch within the next week, as I have a chance. I just bottled up 3 gallons of triple berry wine and need to bottle up a 5-gallon batch of white cranberry wine.
I wanted to try making mead..but when I saw them say you need to store it for 9 months before you can drink it I forgot about it. I can wait 3 weeks for PawPaw's wine..but no way 9 months.
I'm getting a 6 gallon carboy this spring. Gunna put it in a trash can and let her sit in the summer heat. That's 25 bottles of wine.I'll send you a case if we know each other by then,lol
Per quart, one cup of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. You might want to bump the sugar up a little because there is no fructose like in juice. See my watermelon wine and 2/$1 wine
I was wondering off and on about doing it this way, but I never mentioned it because it was one of those thoughts that never quite made it to the front of my brain.
Hey Paw Paw, another great video... as usual😉 I have a quick question. Do you like pickled egg's? and if you do, have you ever made them yourself? just a thought for a future video. God bless!
Moonshine is just pure alcohol. This could be considered similar to the "mash". It has fermented and contains alcohol. To make traditional moonshine, you heat the mixture in a sealed system to a temperature above the boiling point of alcohol but below the boiling point of water. Then you condense the alcohol steam back into a liquid. That is your moonshine. An easier way is to freeze your concoction for a few days and pour off the liquid that did not freeze (alcohol)
So I was thinking one of my later projects might be freeze concentrating some Peculiar and using it to top off some Panty-Dropper. Voila! Fortified wine, like a port or a Madeira. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
All my wine videos can be found on the playlist on my homepage. I am not a fermenting expert. I just know what tastes good to me and the recipe I share with people is what I have used for over 50 years. Try my recipe and then start your own experiments.
Store it ? I make this sh*t to drink !! LOL !! Store it like any wine. Somewhere cool and dark.............think wine cellars. If it is good enough for a $500 bottle of wine, it is good enough for PawPaw's wine.
Since you say all 10 were good, then I believe you are qualified to start tweaking the recipe to suit your personal taste. My recipe is the starting point for beginners, although I like it just the way it is.... so try increasing the sugar by 1/4 cup per quart and see what that does for you.
I make mine to drink, not store, but if I am not going to consume it within a week, I will put it in the refrigerator. MAIN CONCERN is to not expose it to air and bright light. I have some sitting on the shelf in here over 6 months and still will knock you down !
Maybe you could try some of that flavored water you get at Walmart. Like I've seen some bottled water with strawberries or raspberries and hey there is another idea blackberries or strawberries or a berry
Hey Paw Paw, makin your wine for the first time today. Also going to try this water wine, gonna call it Holy Wine or Jesus Wine... hahaha. I wanted to try the wine with some mango/peach juice that I got yesterday, but it turned out not to be 100% juice, so I went out and got another bottle today. White grape/peach. Hope it turns out. I never did really like wine, but I think if I try it with some juice flavors that I really like, then it would be ok. Grampa gave me some homemade blueberry wine and that was pretty good. Do you think your wine would turn out good with homemade juices (apple, grape, blueberry, watermelon,etc)? Have you ever tried making the wine out of juices that dont say 100% juice? I'm thinking, if you can make it out of just water, then why not any juice?
Paw Paw, I'm so excited as tonight I am going to try my hand at making wine with Welch's 💯 concord grape! Quick question if I may sir, I'm a Yahoo Mountain Dew addict and I was curious, if I had 2 quarts of dew, could I make spiked dew? I realize that the carbonation would be lost, but I just think that mountain dew wine would be delicious!!!
@@DoingItCheap Thanks Paw Paw! My Welch's is bubbling today! And I'll try this with mountain dew as you suggested. I have to say, you are one of the most helpful and responsive youtubers! Thank you for what you do in helping the community do things on the cheap! I'm gonna hafta get a doing it cheap tee shirt!
Is it possible to add fruit to the wine before you let it set? Like white grape juice, the dry ingredients and some strawberries. Of course, I would assume it would have to be strained a few times when it's ready. Just curious if it works or if something like Jello/Kool-Aid for flavoring is needed?
I got two fifths of this (Five O'Clock Vodka bottles, started 9/8) and another 1.5qts (2qt Gatorade bottle, started this morning) of Peculiar going. That's in addition to the Great Value Grape started 9/11. I'm gonna make sure I don't ever again have to get boozed up on anything store-bought by the end of the month. Us kids got told that the reason Mom's bread was rising was 'cause of "bug farts". Thought you'd get a kick out of that. Well, I fed my little animals plenty of sugar, and I've been watching them poop out alcohol for about a week now. OMG, the bubbles! When they either run out of food or kill themselves off with booze (dem hardcore party animals!), then I'll be toasting them proper! My hubs has told everyone (every cashier, bank teller, customer, co-worker, EVERYBODY) "Have a wonderful day" for years! It's always been his signature. But now every time I hear him, I wanna step all over it by tacking on "and a better tomorrow!" You do that, PawPaw!
Is that the elusive Missus PawPaw I see rummaging around in the background? LOL We've only heard rumors of her existence, so this is kinda like catching glimpses of Bigfoot! LMAO I'm sure she'd be thrilled with that comparison.
Two reasons I don't use a balloon......... 1. They cost money. 2. I like to set it and forget it. I had a balloon come loose one time and it ruined the batch. The balloon returns back down when the bubbles stop which is the sign I tell people to look for to know it is done making.
Wow, I wonder if you could put your kool aid in at the beginning and just make it like that. I may try it that way. Not like I'd be loosing much by trying. I love your videos. Happy trails!
New subscriber here and you are the best Paw Paw!! I'm wanting to make this into a 5 gallon batch...can I bottle and cork it after the kool-aid is added, or does it still bubble?
Lynnette, before you start asking a lot of questions, go to my homepage and watch all the videos in the playlist WINEMAKING. All your questions will be answered and the process will become crystal clear.
Yep, that's the way I was gonna explain it in my video. Yeast eats sugar and s%$#s out alcohol and carbon dioxide. Who says ya cant teach an old dog new tricks???? I'm learning new stuff every day, thanks to people like you!!!!
Robert, I have been watching my wine all weekend for it to quit bubbling and it still is not QUITE done...almost. Just as soon as it has stopped, I will post the video !! Thanks for watching !!!

The Finnish call this "Kilju". It's like a national drink for poor Finnish people like students.
I don’t want wine with good taste, I want wine that tastes good.😂
I make Kool-Aid wine all the time and yes I make the wash first let it run for at least 14 days maybe longer then I rack it out and add whatever Kool-Aid flavor I want I let it sit for another weak at least maybe 2 weeks then I rack it again. it has a beautiful color a real good flavor and probably about 14% apv I use bread yeast

I saw a wino eating grapes and I was dude you got to wait!
I’m one of the many fans of you we are proud of you man
Paw Paw, I think you have revealed the recipe of Mogan David 20/20. I remember seeing it back in my college days. They called it "Mad Dog 20 20".
I'm in uk n I remember MD20/20
I tried it in a gallon jug I just double the recipe and it came out amazing. FACT
it tasted a little stronger than that MD 20/20. Of course, I refrigeratored it before.

Boil the fruit so more sugars/color are extracted (and kills wild yeasts). Easy way to add a bit more of color/flavor from the fruits.
Just keeps getting cheaper . I like it !
PAW PAW, I'm making some of your wine. Can't hardly wait till the first of July - Tasting time. Love ALL your Video's. YOU have a wonderful day, and a better Tomorrow...

your so loving and adorable .. love ur videos .. i wish i was ur nieghbore .. will make so many kinds of wine ... 😀😉
I wondered about that years ago a friend used granulated honey water and yeast then mixed the wine with lime koolaid.
Pawpaw turning water into wine! Haha :P
It is a Finnish sugar wine.It is widely made in Finland for the country Korea where it is very popular.
I just tried it out I did exactly as Paw Paw described And I have Faith because I listened to him before and all of my other batches were awesome and I was having so much fun

For the lumps in the sugar, put it in a seala bag and bash it around on the table a bit, makes funnelling a lot easier

Yes, I put a shot of lemon juice in a glass of ice and then pour the "wine" over it.
Same in Finnish :D
If your trying to take labels off bottles put hot water in them and it should heat the glue up enough to get them off
Paw Paw, do you sanitize the bottle? I'm new to making home made wine.
Are you from Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia?
I appreciate it man.
Tennessee. Wash with hot water and Dawn.
Thanks for the speedy reply.
I truly appreciate that@@DoingItCheap

It took my water about twice as long to cook off as the juice ones....... did you maintain the ratio of one quart, one cup, 1/4 teaspoon in your gallon jug ?
@@DoingItCheap yes I maintained the ratio as close as possible maybe a little extra yeast and sugar but not much different
Just make sure you keep it warm and out of direct light. A brown paper bag over it is good.
"I don't like this shit wortha daaamn" lol
PawPaw you're my kinda people thanks for the wine making tips!
Jesus would be proud of your water to wine miracle.
I have 2 half gallons brewing and some watermelon kool-aid to mix in later!!! Thanks Paw Paw!
Bob, a few years ago I went to a renaissance fairer and they had mead. I tried it and it was incredibly good! It's made from honey. There are a few videos on UA-cam about making mead and I think that you'll like it
I went to a really good mead making class just yesterday, at a local brewing supply shop. The class was supposed to last 2 hours, but went on for more like 3. Had lots of great info from a guy who is opening up a brewery specializing in mead. We sampled several different meads, got a bit of a buzz and had a good time. Also ran into an old friend there who is now a beekeeper. Planning to get up with him in the spring to buy some honey from him, and possibly get my own hives started.
Its really delicious and basically similar to making the alcohol with juice and sugar and in this case, the honey is the sugar and juice. I think Bob will like it.
We got to sample several meads yesterday, made from a variety of honeys and flavored with various fruits, berries, herbs and spices. Each one was quite distinct, but all delicious. There was one called "tej", made using a honey from Ethiopia, and some kind of root I believe. Another, a French style called Bochet' was made by first cooking down the honey until it was caramelized. I think my favorite was made with cranberries and blood oranges. I plan to start a 3 gallon batch within the next week, as I have a chance. I just bottled up 3 gallons of triple berry wine and need to bottle up a 5-gallon batch of white cranberry wine.
I wanted to try making mead..but when I saw them say you need to store it for 9 months before you can drink it I forgot about it. I can wait 3 weeks for PawPaw's wine..but no way 9 months.
traderjoes. Mead?
mix it with french vannella coffe creamer. i make sugar washes for my shinemaking in the winter
so what yeast did you use in this one cause you didn't say but you said distillery yeast.ty
My best results are with the simple yeast you buy in envelopes in the grocery store near the flour. Simple baking yeast. Nothing fancy.
Going to the store right now to get some ingredients and will follow up with results
I'm getting a 6 gallon carboy this spring. Gunna put it in a trash can and let her sit in the summer heat. That's 25 bottles of wine.I'll send you a case if we know each other by then,lol
How much yeast do you add to this please?
Per quart, one cup of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. You might want to bump the sugar up a little because there is no fructose like in juice. See my watermelon wine and 2/$1 wine
Amazing! I just put some wine on and I’m going to try this next! I will definitely check out the watermelon, I love 🍉
I’m in Canada and alcohol is so expensive here! Now I just have to wait for weeks for the wine to be ready.
I'm in Florida i have a sun room that stays warm or hot in the day. cools to about 70 at night. how long would this sit to work off you think paw paw?
Probably two weeks. Just make SURE there are no bubbles at all !!! The top of the liquid should be bubble free as well.
DoingItCheap. thanks PawPaw . i am using the turbo yeast to. so I'll start really watching it after a week
David McCorcle. I do too ormond beach lol
All you have to do after fermenting is to distill and you have: White Rum.
Maybe that's how HE turned water to wine.. 😀👍👍👍👍👍.. Thank You..
I blame it on the Dog too😂 Got sum root beer extract. Gona try with this one. Wish me luck PaPa!!
GOD i WISH YOU WERE MY NEIGHBORE
I was wondering off and on about doing it this way, but I never mentioned it because it was one of those thoughts that never quite made it to the front of my brain.
Maybe that's how Jesus turned water into wine?
Paw paw i love your shows
Thanks Bob !!
Hey Paw Paw, another great video... as usual😉 I have a quick question. Do you like pickled egg's? and if you do, have you ever made them yourself? just a thought for a future video. God bless!
They don't really interest me, but I do like them.
Ok, thank you for the reply!God bless
Could be a base wine for any flavor I want😉
Mine looks like fungus is floating on top. Good or not good?
It means you aren't following my instructions. Set it and forget it for 30 days. Keep it warm and dark.
Would this mixture be considered MOONSHINE? If not do you have a quick receipt for
it? Love your show and watch you most every day. Thank you
Moonshine is just pure alcohol. This could be considered similar to the "mash". It has fermented and contains alcohol. To make traditional moonshine, you heat the mixture in a sealed system to a temperature above the boiling point of alcohol but below the boiling point of water. Then you condense the alcohol steam back into a liquid. That is your moonshine. An easier way is to freeze your concoction for a few days and pour off the liquid that did not freeze (alcohol)
its called freeze concentrating and its legal where distilling isnt. (Its how apple jack is made)
So I was thinking one of my later projects might be freeze concentrating some Peculiar and using it to top off some Panty-Dropper. Voila! Fortified wine, like a port or a Madeira. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Can honey be added in the beginning, if so, how much honey? Is there a Paw Paw Doing It Cheap honey wine or mead video? Thanks
All my wine videos can be found on the playlist on my homepage. I am not a fermenting expert. I just know what tastes good to me and the recipe I share with people is what I have used for over 50 years. Try my recipe and then start your own experiments.
If you're curious about mead (honey wine), check out: Golden Hive Mead. He made a Mountain Dew mead. He pops up on my feed every once in awhile.
my first batch came out fantastic thanks paw paw
Love the videos paw paw but i need to get you a guitar tuner 😂
How do you store it after it is fermented
Store it ? I make this sh*t to drink !! LOL !! Store it like any wine. Somewhere cool and dark.............think wine cellars. If it is good enough for a $500 bottle of wine, it is good enough for PawPaw's wine.
@@DoingItCheap thank you I am using you water wine recipe. Worked out great but wanting to make enough for summer kool-aid while we travel
paw paw i have a question i like a sweet wine would i add more sugar to the mix to make it sweeter
watch this video and follow my instructions carefully. Then a few weeks from now, ask your question. ua-cam.com/video/XbZnf1WWbpc/v-deo.html
i'v already made my first batch of wine , i made like 10 different kinds and all where good just wanted it a little bit sweeter
Since you say all 10 were good, then I believe you are qualified to start tweaking the recipe to suit your personal taste. My recipe is the starting point for beginners, although I like it just the way it is.... so try increasing the sugar by 1/4 cup per quart and see what that does for you.
thank you i like to experiment and i'll let you know how it turns out
I'll be doin this tonight! Thanx dude💖🇨🇦
If I wanted to store this one, do I have to keep it in the fridge?
I make mine to drink, not store, but if I am not going to consume it within a week, I will put it in the refrigerator. MAIN CONCERN is to not expose it to air and bright light. I have some sitting on the shelf in here over 6 months and still will knock you down !
Damn you! I just started a batch of strawberry/apple, banana, wine. Now I wanna try kool-aide wine!
Watch my next video.....Three Week Check In on the Fat Train and see what I will be using with this "wine".
Thanks again for the great video!
Maybe you could try some of that flavored water you get at Walmart. Like I've seen some bottled water with strawberries or raspberries and hey there is another idea blackberries or strawberries or a berry
Gonna use those little individual powder packets that come six or eight to a box.
I think I smelled that one all the way here in British Columbia
LMAO!!!!!!
Your videos are great makes me smile and laugh
Hey Paw Paw, makin your wine for the first time today. Also going to try this water wine, gonna call it Holy Wine or Jesus Wine... hahaha. I wanted to try the wine with some mango/peach juice that I got yesterday, but it turned out not to be 100% juice, so I went out and got another bottle today. White grape/peach. Hope it turns out. I never did really like wine, but I think if I try it with some juice flavors that I really like, then it would be ok. Grampa gave me some homemade blueberry wine and that was pretty good. Do you think your wine would turn out good with homemade juices (apple, grape, blueberry, watermelon,etc)? Have you ever tried making the wine out of juices that dont say 100% juice? I'm thinking, if you can make it out of just water, then why not any juice?
I'm trying this for sure 🎉
I used it in the Watermelon Wine video I put out a few weeks ago.
@@DoingItCheap I'm going to check that video out TY
Paw Paw, I'm so excited as tonight I am going to try my hand at making wine with Welch's 💯 concord grape! Quick question if I may sir, I'm a Yahoo Mountain Dew addict and I was curious, if I had 2 quarts of dew, could I make spiked dew? I realize that the carbonation would be lost, but I just think that mountain dew wine would be delicious!!!
Make this and then add it to a glass of ice with mountain dew.
@@DoingItCheap Thanks Paw Paw! My Welch's is bubbling today! And I'll try this with mountain dew as you suggested. I have to say, you are one of the most helpful and responsive youtubers! Thank you for what you do in helping the community do things on the cheap! I'm gonna hafta get a doing it cheap tee shirt!
Hey paw paw can I use Walmart yeast to make water , sugar mix to make alcohol
Absolutely, the 3-packs on the shelf above the flour.
Is it possible to add fruit to the wine before you let it set? Like white grape juice, the dry ingredients and some strawberries. Of course, I would assume it would have to be strained a few times when it's ready. Just curious if it works or if something like Jello/Kool-Aid for flavoring is needed?
Now that's sure enough strange sounding but should work in theory. Me thinks lemonade flavor would be great in the summertime.
I'm gonna get those little packets at Dollar Tree and make a 20 ounce bottle at a time !!!
What! No stick! There goes the flavor.😊
I made this and then after 4 weeks I added the Kool Aid and it was So Good and a Nice Alcohol Content
I just made another batch of Alcohol Wash. I can't wait to Drink it, it will be Great
Hi Bob I made some Apple Pie Wine. Just Add Cinnamon to the Apple Juice Wine and put 2 Cups of Sugar. 5 out of 5 Stars
Can I do it with spring water in the bottle it's already in ???
I got two fifths of this (Five O'Clock Vodka bottles, started 9/8) and another 1.5qts (2qt Gatorade bottle, started this morning) of Peculiar going. That's in addition to the Great Value Grape started 9/11. I'm gonna make sure I don't ever again have to get boozed up on anything store-bought by the end of the month.
Us kids got told that the reason Mom's bread was rising was 'cause of "bug farts". Thought you'd get a kick out of that. Well, I fed my little animals plenty of sugar, and I've been watching them poop out alcohol for about a week now. OMG, the bubbles! When they either run out of food or kill themselves off with booze (dem hardcore party animals!), then I'll be toasting them proper!
My hubs has told everyone (every cashier, bank teller, customer, co-worker, EVERYBODY) "Have a wonderful day" for years! It's always been his signature. But now every time I hear him, I wanna step all over it by tacking on "and a better tomorrow!"
You do that, PawPaw!
I just made some of this peculiar wine three week ago and it is still bubbling did I use to much yeast?
As long as it is bubbling, it is making alcohol. Sometimes it takes a little longer depending on the temperature in the room.
DoingItCheap thank you
Red Mortensen how did it turn out
..hmm..What could be better than getting a buzz while Doing it Cheap!!!!!!...
Is that the elusive Missus PawPaw I see rummaging around in the background? LOL We've only heard rumors of her existence, so this is kinda like catching glimpses of Bigfoot! LMAO I'm sure she'd be thrilled with that comparison.
I learned 40 years ago with the Italians to put a balloon when do balloon swells up and then returns back down it should be finished
Two reasons I don't use a balloon......... 1. They cost money. 2. I like to set it and forget it. I had a balloon come loose one time and it ruined the batch. The balloon returns back down when the bubbles stop which is the sign I tell people to look for to know it is done making.
I wonder how this would taste with tea, I might try that soon :)
It makes an awesome hard lemonade !
this is the same way I make my wine. I add the frozen concentrate of my choice.
Wow, I wonder if you could put your kool aid in at the beginning and just make it like that. I may try it that way. Not like I'd be loosing much by trying. I love your videos. Happy trails!
it does not work as well that way, wait till the end and then you can make it any flavor you wish
New subscriber here and you are the best Paw Paw!! I'm wanting to make this into a 5 gallon batch...can I bottle and cork it after the kool-aid is added, or does it still bubble?
Lynnette, before you start asking a lot of questions, go to my homepage and watch all the videos in the playlist WINEMAKING. All your questions will be answered and the process will become crystal clear.
Been away from the computer, family emergency, but now you know how T-wine is made and why it works. Tastes just like sweet tea, but with a kick.
I never woulda thunk it, had it not been explained to me the way it worked !
Yep, that's the way I was gonna explain it in my video. Yeast eats sugar and s%$#s out alcohol and carbon dioxide. Who says ya cant teach an old dog new tricks???? I'm learning new stuff every day, thanks to people like you!!!!
Will you make a video on how you RACK your Wine.please.Just like to see how you do it.Thanks
Robert, I have been watching my wine all weekend for it to quit bubbling and it still is not QUITE done...almost. Just as soon as it has stopped, I will post the video !! Thanks for watching !!!
