Started my first batch of wine on Jan 1st using your strawberry recipe from the strawberry watermelon wine video. Very excited to see how it turns out! It tasted really good when i racked it the carboy!
I absolutely love your videos. I have not seen one using jalapeños yet. I recently had a fruit wine with jalapenos added. It had a little kick but not too hot. Hope to see a recipe like this soon! Thanks for your videos!
Thank you very much. I try to watch as many videos as I can from different ones and look for simple one gal batches weather it's wines, shine, ciders and hard seltzers simple recipe. You see I am just a beginner. Thank You Tom D MInnesota
You will be soon... NOT a beginner lol... once you have homemade you will not go back to store bought. Every time I open a bottle of my wine I get amazed. It is that good. 👍👍🍷🍷
Bonjour j’adore vos vidéos merci de nous donner pleins de trucs et astuces ❤️ J’ai une question quand le vin est rendu en tourie et que l’on ajoute ,bentonite pour éclaircir le vin ,quand vient le temps de soutiré a nouveau doit t’on rajouté de la bentonite a chaque soutirage ?
Hello and greetings from NEPA had to make your recipe this morning I've been making assorted wines for quite some time and have to say your recipes are excellent and come out great the only difference is the yeast only have lalvin k1-V1116 on hand and will add this to the recipe tomorrow it seems to work well with fruit wines looking forward to your next recipe.
Hi Todd, this looks like it will be a great wine! I have my mixed berry in my 5 gallon carboy letting it sit for 3 more days before I rack and add KLEER. The Pineapple and Banana wine both taste great! I go back and forth on which one I like better! Right now I am back to Pineapple by a hair! Have a great day! Are you making this in the 30 day time frame?
It will be great. No I'm going to take my time on this one.. I like doing thst better than rushing through it in 30 days. My other channel I don't know when I will be out of town for a period of time. Have a great day Brent. 👍👍
If you have a hydrometer... you can just look at it for easy conversion. Most hydrometer have a 3 scale measurement system and usually come with a conversion chart.
Ending sg for all my wine and recipes will be 1.00.. you can convert my potential alcohol which is what I use to sg by looking at hydrometer and converting. Most people want potential alcohol vs sg because much easier to understand.
I was just thinking about making the same flavor. Where did you get your frozen strawberries from? I didn’t see any in my local grocery store so I was going to use extract if I couldn’t find any.
When you are washing your fruit what do you use. I couldn’t get any organic bananas so I have to wash my fruit and would like to know what you use for washing and do you sterilize your peelings for bananas with starsan
@@HowToDoneRight just to let you know I have watched everyone of your programs or blogs. Whatever you wanna call them at least a dozen times I’m really waiting for some new ones to come out but I love your blogs. They are awesome and a really good teacher.
One more quick question the package of bentonite I got says on the bag that you use 2 teaspoons to a half cup of water and it’s good for 5 gallons. I’ve noticed you use 4 teaspoons. Does 4 teaspoons work better than what the directions on this bag say. Thank you very much in advance again I love your shows.
Hi Todd, question for you. I am making my mixed berry following the 30 day recipe. I have used bentonite and and have used Super Kleer on it, but it is still not clear. It is like day 29. Just let it sit until it clears? Is Pineapple the only wine you did the 30 day recipe on? Thanks for your time! Have a good one!
It should work for most fruit. I have made a couple that way but I like to do old fashion way when I have time. Yes just let it sit did the sg get all the way down to 1.000... I have noticed that makes a difference too. Have a great day Brent. 😀 🍷
Hi Todd, I just bottled my 5 gallon batch of mixed berry after 63 days. After it wasn't clearing I let it sit another 30 days. It was clear then, but I decided to use sparkolloid on it also. Now from start to finish I bottled, corked, shrink wrapped, and put on personalized labels 63 days after I first started. It is crystal clear and taste delicious. I know this was your wife Laura's second favorite wine that you guys have made. I am looking forward to making your strawberry/banana wine in the future. Thanks.
There is a question: what happens if 18% alcohol-resistant yeast is used? while the desired amount of sugar for alcohol is only 15%. Is the wine sour? thanks
Thank you very much for your reply. One more question: if it's very dry and a little sour, that's normal and you can sweeten it back to your taste. thanks.
sorry for bothering you. Please help me with one more problem. I have a stuck fermentation problem. Can you add yeast to continue? Sincerely thank you.
@@HowToDoneRight Okay thank you, I have racked it the second time and added Bentonite three days ago and I am stirring, howmany more times should I rack?
@@HowToDoneRight Thank you so much! I let it sit for thirty days after racking from fermentation vessel then racked with Bentonite, I will go another thirty and rack again. Thanks again. Love your videos!
I notice you have difficulty with putting fruit in your mesh bags. Here's what I do, I put the bag over the fruit in the bowl then set it in my bucket and remove the bowl Quick and easy and no mess P.S. I've made the mixed berry, Blueberry and pineapple with your recipe and enjoy them very much.
I would like to do 1 gal recipe not a 5 gal one u see I am just a beginner and would just like 1 gal. recipe..I would appreciate it. Thank You Tom MInnesota
I have 1 gallon wine process video done. ua-cam.com/video/fmsW7DxZa5g/v-deo.html And I put a 1 gallon 3 gallon and 5 gallon recipes in all my wine videos. Lots of content out there for you. 😁😁
I thought I was clear enough on a strawberry wine but now that it’s bottled there is already sediment after 24 hours. A good shake makes it disappear but I hope this doesn’t ruin the wine
Just a heads up, you should probably avoid potassium sorbate and just heat your wine up to 165 degrees F to pasteurize. Look up what it’s made of and you’ll probably wanna not use it anymore.
We now have a store for everything you see in our videos for supplies. www.amazon.com/shop/howtodoneright
That's gonna be some delicious wine, Another very well done video always enjoy watching.
Thanks so much... and it's going to be amazing.

Thanks so much. Your going to love love that pineapple wine 🍷🍷
Another great video.
Thanks James👍👍

So excited to try this! Thank you so much 😊
You will love this one too. ❤️
Me and my friend are making a Date wine with orange peels
We took your recipe to make it
Hopefully it will be tasty
Thst sounds good. Let me know how thst turns out. 👍👍🍷🍷
Banana added to most home made wine will increase sweetness and improve body.

You only add bentonite the last racking before Bottling. Watch my other wine videos usually part two I show you in all my wine videos.
How long does your wine last after bottling? love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching. Depends on corks. ua-cam.com/video/gr_SaY6HHL4/v-deo.html
But I think fruit wine is best at 3 to 6 months but hebe some for years

Thanks so much keep me posted on your wines. Yeast will not make much of a difference its what people get use too. 👍👍😀😀
Appreciate your knowledge and Videos. Would you do one on Vintners fruit based syrup in Rhubarb. 5 gallon. I could use the help.
Thanks so much. 👍 I'll have to put that on my long list. Lol.

I'm gonna try this one next, Do you think its a good idea to use sugarcane juice (fresh squeeze) instead of melting sugar?
That should work. But never tried it.
Rather than looking at your ABV when you first start I'd like to know the Starting Gravity reading when you finished adding all your water.
If you have a hydrometer... you can just look at it for easy conversion. Most hydrometer have a 3 scale measurement system and usually come with a conversion chart.
@@HowToDoneRight I have a hydrometer so I was wondering what your SG and ending gravity was for the wine.
Ending sg for all my wine and recipes will be 1.00.. you can convert my potential alcohol which is what I use to sg by looking at hydrometer and converting. Most people want potential alcohol vs sg because much easier to understand.
I was just thinking about making the same flavor. Where did you get your frozen strawberries from? I didn’t see any in my local grocery store so I was going to use extract if I couldn’t find any.
I get mine from Sam's club but Walmart probably has also.
Thanks for the reply, and many thanks to the videos that you are posting.
Do you prefer the taste with the banana peelings on?
For sure. Without your losing flavor.
When you are washing your fruit what do you use. I couldn’t get any organic bananas so I have to wash my fruit and would like to know what you use for washing and do you sterilize your peelings for bananas with starsan
Washing with water is just fine.
@@HowToDoneRight just to let you know I have watched everyone of your programs or blogs. Whatever you wanna call them at least a dozen times I’m really waiting for some new ones to come out but I love your blogs. They are awesome and a really good teacher.
Alllll thanks so much appreciate the support. ❤️❤️ More coming soon. 🍷🍷

Does 4 teaspoons work better than what the directions on this bag say. Thank you very much in advance again I love your shows.
Use according to the package. Each company will differ.
Part 2 Legend😊,
And the fruits are 50% 🍌 and 50% strawberry 🍓 is it?
Yes it is. 👍👍
What if I want to make 5 gallons of a higher percentage abv 15-18% what do I change compared to what you did
Adding more sugar increases abv.... or adding less water when dialing in abv.
@@HowToDoneRightthank you
@@HowToDoneRight should I be adding more yeast as well?
Hi Todd, question for you. I am making my mixed berry following the 30 day recipe. I have used bentonite and and have used Super Kleer on it, but it is still not clear. It is like day 29.

Yes my ending sg was .994. ABV will be over 15%. I suppose I will really have to backsweeten to get to sweet to semi sweet?@@HowToDoneRight
Hi Todd, I just bottled my 5 gallon batch of mixed berry after 63 days. After it wasn't clearing I let it sit another 30 days. It was clear then, but I decided to use sparkolloid on it also.

That's awesome. If you get a chance post a picture of that wine to our instagram. I want to see it. Have a great day.
Not quite sure how to do that. Can you explain me through it? I found your instagram and I started one. What next?@@HowToDoneRight
There is a question: what happens if 18% alcohol-resistant yeast is used? while the desired amount of sugar for alcohol is only 15%. Is the wine sour? thanks
No 18 percent yeast is just the tolerancy... means you can go up to 18 percent when dialing in abv.
Thank you very much for your reply. One more question: if it's very dry and a little sour, that's normal and you can sweeten it back to your taste. thanks.
should not really sour. But backsweeten will bring the fruit flavor back.
Thanks u.
sorry for bothering you. Please help me with one more problem. I have a stuck fermentation problem. Can you add yeast to continue? Sincerely thank you.
I made strawberry banana and now I racked it and I have hydrogen sulphide smell. What do you do for this?
That's normal. Stir for a few days and let it settle out. Each racking you do the smell will go away.
@@HowToDoneRight Okay thank you, I have racked it the second time and added Bentonite three days ago and I am stirring, howmany more times should I rack?
Until you are satisfied with clarity and smell. Need to let it settle 30 to 45 days between rackings. Don't rush it.
@@HowToDoneRight Thank you so much! I let it sit for thirty days after racking from fermentation vessel then racked with Bentonite, I will go another thirty and rack again. Thanks again. Love your videos!
I notice you have difficulty with putting fruit in your mesh bags. Here's what I do, I put the bag over the fruit in the bowl then set it in my bucket and remove the bowl
Quick and easy and no mess
P.S. I've made the mixed berry, Blueberry and pineapple with your recipe and enjoy them very much.
No difficulties just lazy way.
@HowToDoneRight Any plans for a Rubarb wine or maybe Strawberry Rubarb?
I know some people have used rhubarb have you ever had wine with that in it?
I would like to do 1 gal recipe not a 5 gal one u see I am just a beginner and would just like 1 gal. recipe..I would appreciate it.

Cherry or blueberry wine coming up next😁
Or that’s what we want to see😇
What happened to the 2nd part 😁
Coming soon.
I thought I was clear enough on a strawberry wine but now that it’s bottled there is already sediment after 24 hours. A good shake makes it disappear but I hope this doesn’t ruin the wine
Sediment is normal for wine. Some of the best wines you will see sediment. Will taste even better. 🍷🍷
Do I need to add campden tablet every time you repack the wine. Or only when you are ready to bottle? Tia
@NormCarlson Only when ready to bottle. And beginning of fermentation. 👍👍
@@HowToDoneRight thanks much.
When’s part 2?
Couple weeks yet. Stay tuned.
Just a heads up, you should probably avoid potassium sorbate and just heat your wine up to 165 degrees F to pasteurize. Look up what it’s made of and you’ll probably wanna not use it anymore.
