Update I bottled my Caramel Apple wine last weekend. I ended up with 28 3/4 bottles. The 3/4 bottle was placed in the fridge for immediate consumption (LOL). It looks and taste amazing. Thanks for providing this video. I am also currently working on some blueberry mead. It has about another month in secondary fermentation. Time to start something else now… I think I’m going to try the wine made from juice next. I am having so much fun!
I'm getting addicted to your videos. Past day I've watched like 15 videos. Love when I start to see the effects of how good your wine is. I cringe at the sanitizer left in everything. I know its safe, I use to use it all the time at work...but I cant see how over time...even it's at a low strength,, I dont see how it doesnt mess with the taste of the wine. I wouldn't add a shot if the sanitizer to my drinks before I consume them, but ur getting like a half oz of sanitizer in each bottle. But love your videos. Dont stop!
Love all of the videos, and how you basically use the same method for every wine... Have you ever made Key Lime Pie wine?.… Not Key Lime, but Key Lime Pie wine.... Would love to see a video/videos on that... 💙💙💙🥂🥂🥂
I typically buy sugar free coffee flavor syrups, do you think I’d have any issues using sugar free syrups for wine making? Would you recommend I avoid using sugar free syrups? Loving your videos please keep the content coming!
That looks really delicious, have you tried it refrigerated? Wondering if there’s a difference between room temperature and being cold? Just started a batch of mango ginger wine last night, I’m kind of debating if I want to add some honey to it when I add my sugar don’t know if I’m just over complicating it or some honey flavor would come through.
That's sounds great too. Yes the apple taste great chilled. Almost like a cider beer. You surely can add boney but I would do it when you backsweeten your wine not in fermentation. But you can. Let me know goes it comes out.🍷🍷👍👍😁😁
Ive been watching your nice wine videos and I really like your content and they way that you are super excited with it. I have started my first batches with orange and pineapple by myself and comparing to your approach some doubts naturally raised in my head. Wine tannin, yeast nutrient, pectin enzyme, and acid blend makes the real difference in the final product? I ask it because some of them are not easy to find (and expensive prices) here in Brazil. So which one(or ones) plays the major benefit to your wines or which one can I skip? I'm planning to follow your recipes soon... As you and your wife prefer a little bit of extra sugar, do your wines finish like a kind of a fruit liquor? I'd really appreciate with you can shed light in my first journey.
Thanks so much for watching the channel. I have a video on substitutes for some you have mentioned for those that can't get some of the additives. Please check this video out. ua-cam.com/video/a_nadvqSR5E/v-deo.html Nutrient Is just going to give you a healthier wine tannins and pectic will add flavors as well. But none are a necessity but will add flavor and depth. You only have to please yourself so try without and see if you like it. We prefer a semi sweet wine so when we backsweeten with subst and Stabilize that will not increase abv so it will be a sweet or semi sweet wine not a fortified wine or liquor if that makes sense. 👍👍🍷🍷
Hi, I'm making hard apple cider, I want to back sweeten also I would like to try and carbonate some, could I back sweeten with a nonfermenting sugar like stevia or splenda then add a little sugar to carbonate?
Respect sir I am following you for a long. Your video is very important to me to make home made wine. Thanks for your wonderful job. Sir I have some doubt which is to calculate gallon to kg and litter. Because I am from India here we use only in kgs and litter so can u please able to tell me that how to calculate gallon to kg and litter
There are many applications out there for your phone that will do that and websites. Here Is one of them that will work for you. Thanks for watching our channel. 👍👍🍷🍷😁😁 www.unitconverters.net/density/pound-gallon-us-to-kilogram-liter.htm
I put 1, 3 and 5 gallon recipes in the description of my wine videos.. but apple you will need more since not a juicy fruit. 5 Gallon Batch Apple Wine recipe 25-30 pounds Apples 10 pounds of Sugar 5 Campden Tablets 2.5 Tsp Yeast Nutrient 2.5 Tsp Acid Blend 2.5 Tsp Wine Tannin 2.5 Tsp Pectic Enzyme 1 Package Wine Yeast 1 Gallon 100% Apple Juice (Optional) 😁😁🍷🍷
Hi, my question is, I noticed you put potassium sorbate in just before bottling, I looked it up online and it said to add it 24 hours before bottling. What are your thoughts on this?
Hi sir GD morning sir I am waiting for your replacement video for all your ingredients so please upload that video as early possible once again thank you sir
Shelf life depends alot on what corks you use which is what will allow oxygen in wine. Be sure to watch this video. ua-cam.com/video/gr_SaY6HHL4/v-deo.html
sir good evening can we store the wine in 20 litters of plastic water can for our second process after adding Bentonite inorder to avoid the bottle broken because in our country it is too expensive to buy good condition of corboy
Just a friendly suggestion: I've only now noticed some of the bottles you're corking, are actually used screw tops. That's not safe as their glas up top is not as sturdy so they can easily crack. Another thing: For the first few days after corking, you should be keeping your bottles upright, until the corks expand and seal up those bottles properly. Only then the bottles are layed to the side. Please don't take this the wrong way. Just wanted to pass on an advice that's been given to me by professional winemakers. ✌️
@@HowToDoneRight Awesome! And thanks! These days people go off at anything, thinking it's a bad faith attack against them. So cool you haven't reacted in that way because I wrote this in 100% good faith! Regarding screw top bottles, I've personally had issues while corking them, and with respect to the other thing, I'm merely spreading information I've been given from a very reliable source, doing this for a living. When one lays bottles on the side immediately after the corking, before letting the cork expand, some wine leakage could occur, leading to a series of further issues. Anyhow, love your great videos! They often inspire me...keep making them!! 👍👍
Any advise I can get from you Alex I listen too. You Have inspired me also and I appreciate all the great info you Have passed along on this channel. 👍👍❤️❤️😄😄🍷🍷

Sugar free will be OK if drinking wine in a few months. It may not hold up for long periods of time

Yes other sugars will work... but may not be good for aging wine. Most likely will need yeast to carbonate but be careful to use right bottles.

10 pounds of Sugar
5 Campden Tablets

@@HowToDoneRight I just discovered that but it is titled Mango and I scrolled on past it. I have it now. Thanks!
Yeah I corrected that when was copying it. Lol. I should have an editer/ reviewer. 😁
Thanks for sharing. I want to try this. How do you know if you burned the sugar. TIA
It would have a funny smell just don't let it get to boil and stir frequently. Its a great wine.👍👍🍷🍷
Hi, my question is, I noticed you put potassium sorbate in just before bottling, I looked it up online and it said to add it 24 hours before bottling. What are your thoughts on this?
That would work also. Never had issue right before Bottling.

what is the shelf life of apple wine
Shelf life depends alot on what corks you use which is what will allow oxygen in wine. Be sure to watch this video.
ua-cam.com/video/gr_SaY6HHL4/v-deo.html
How do you get the old labels off of bottles
Lol... this works good gluebgone ...amzn.to/49Wd4id
I just leave them on anymore and don't mess with them.
Sir can we use all types of potassium sorbate or only stabilizer
Potassium sorbate is stabilizer.
Do u use a certain type of tubing to fill ur wine bottles? I noticed a tip on the end of the hose.
Yes it is a wine bottle tip. I have links in the description for most of the stuff you see on this channel. 👍👍🍷🍷😁😁
How much bentonite are you using for 5 gallons?
Use according to directing on package. Some will differ slightly. 👍👍
sir good evening can we store the wine in 20 litters of plastic water can for our second process after adding Bentonite inorder to avoid the bottle broken because in our country it is too expensive to buy good condition of corboy
Yes that will work as long as can keep oxygen out with airlock
Thank you sir
can you add raisins to fruit wine ?
Sure can. I discuss raisins in this video. 👍👍
ua-cam.com/video/a_nadvqSR5E/v-deo.html
@@HowToDoneRight sir I am waiting the part 2 video replacement of your ingredients
Could you consider doing a "skeeter pee" ? Maybe with other fruits added to it like blueberry, blackberry, strawberry
I'll put that on my list. 👍👍

If you want a caramel flavor and plan to back sweeten, why not just caramelize some of the sugar you'll use for sweetening?
Thst may not clear up.
