- Well, this is a kind of a how to video about making grape soda from fresh grapes with no added sugar, but it is also a video about how not to make grape soda. There must be some magic in fresh organic grapes because I just couldn't stop this grape juice from wanting to be very explosive soda. So proceed with caution.

Yum! Thanks for the video. My husband and I tried to make root beer . It was great , but we were in Florida and it turned warm where we were storing it. The explosion was epic! Live and learn!
Well, it's good to know others have had similar experiences. Haha
This was in one of the first issues of Mother Earth News magazine I ever got, and I really wanted to try it. Life kinda distracted me, and I sort of forgot about it, but just yesterday I pulled a box of swing top bottles out of storage. I'm taking this as a sign, and I'm going to finally try it out. I'll probably do ginger or tangerine.
Thanks for sharing this!
Hey, I'm glad it was inspiring to you. It is fun to make your own soda--and soo easy! I didn't know it was in Mother Earth news before but I love that publication. Seems like something they'd cover. Good luck!
Have you ever seen "Walk in the Clouds"? There is an awesome grape-crushing scene in it. Love that movie.
I haven't seen that. I'll have to check it out.
I played the acoustic guitar at the end.
Nehi's got nothing on you!
Nice job!
One of my favorite sodas of all time is Grape I’m not really a soda person bc I live by a healthy lifestyle I drink organic juice , water etc and usually the only soda I drink is Ginger ale and here and their I love to get around to some grape soda I hope they don’t all use their feet tho lol no matter how you clean your feet before doing this it’s just a little awkward thinking about that
Well done fool, organic juice is just as bad or worse than a sugar soda, juice has just as much or more sugar, organic means nothing. I drink soda but I make my own and there is little to no sugar in it, much better than your so called 'healthy' organic juice. Funny how you fools think that anything with organic in the title means it is healthy. Everything is organic.
I think the first drink you made was Federweisser. In Germany you can't bottle this but you loosely cover it with a cap and then refrigerate. It's a young wine, very carbonated and lower in alcohol. We eat it with onion pie.
Wow, that's so interesting! I love hearing about food and drink culture around the world. Cooked onions, I guess?? Just onions?
I am glad your vineyard has been so productive. The grape soda sounds very tasty .
Yummy my favorite flavor of soda
Very grapy😂
I wish I had a vineyard and the talent to be able to turn it into wine and soda. I’m sure your beverages are pretty amazing.
Maybe you can have a vineyard eventually and making wine and soda just takes a little practice. I do like most of what I make, but it's a learning process and making good wine takes good grapes.
@@HardcoreSustainable I suppose you’re right. I thought the same thing when I started making my own bread. From the beginning when I first made it to now is night and day. I really love how you are so self sufficient. It’s admirable.
Wait a minute, u added what???? Approx 3min Mark - After juicing?& Where do I get those two things
Pectic enzyme and Potassium Metabisulfite. Pectic enzyme is something that's available from winemaking supply stores. It allows the more thorough breakdown of cell walls in the grapes over night and juice extraction is better. It comes as a powder. Potassium metabisulfite is something used in winemaking to kill off wild yeasts and retain colors and flavors in wine. In the process of winemaking and soda making it will react with other components and change form so that it is no longer in the wine must or juice. If you want to just use the wild yeasts in making the soda, you can skip the PMB addition and the addition of domestic yeast. You might have a very active brew though.
@@HardcoreSustainable I used to work for a blueberry farm that also makes blueberry wine! I used 2 venture into the winemaking warehouse 2 smell the barrels! Lol but never learned process
Tart
Great video 👍 may I ask what's the name of your bottle pump action washer please?
Well, I thought I'd gotten it last time I ordered from midwest brewing supplies, but now I can't find it on their website. I'll have to try to track it down and post a link. Super easy and kind of a revolution compared to the way I used to do it.

Thanks I'll keep an eye out for when you post the link 😊
Hi Dan, I wonder if your grape soda will get you really juiced? Glad your making more videos.
Nice work!
thanks!
Where do you get your bottles from
I've collected them over the years from others getting rid of them, but you can probably order something similar from a brewing supplies site. Also, some are Grolsch bottles, a kind of beer that is sold in these reusable flip top bottles. They come in 4 packs and can be expensive, but you get 4 bottles that can be reused over and over. You basically get the beer for free.
@@HardcoreSustainable thank you
Do you grow Vins in your Yed mr Frenchman? Vine yard! Speak English.
Are you really criticizing the way I say vineyard??
So, hes making kombucha
Well, kombucha is actuallly made with sweetened tea and uses a scoby to ferment it, so this is pretty different. This is fruit juice with added and natural yeast.
Way back in our youthful, wild food foraging, know nothing days, a friend and I attempted to make wine from wild grapes. We smooshed them by hand into a small crock, dumped in a 5 lb. Bag of sugar, covered it with a loose fitting wooden lid, and left it under a table out on the porch. When we checked it a few days later, we found lots of fruit fly larva floating in our brew.
Oh no! We weren't going to waste it. We strained all the liquid out with a pillow case and tasted it. Oh my! The world's best fizzy grape juice!
I'm sure we could never have replicated those conditions again, but gosh that was good. Didn't last long.
That's hilarious. Fruit fly larvae are not good, no. I'm glad it didn't taste like vinegar and it actually tasted good.
Yummm...that looked so good and refreshing...! (By bitter, do mean with a "bite"? I love root beer with a good "bite", actually any soda with a good bite. So, I'd probably be swooning over this soda you've made...lol.) Good luck with your experiments with this.
Yes, it was tart. I like tart sodas.
@@HardcoreSustainable try organic cherry juice. Thats shit is tart.
Very cool 2 have abundance of Concord grapes! Can't wait to see u process into soda imagine can be done with other fruits! And teach me how to make kambucha
Thanks! I don't usually make kombucha, but I like drinking it from time to time. Here in Florida (where I am right now) I know a guy who cofounded Mother Kombucha, a rapidly growing bottled kombucha company. Maybe I can do a tour or something.
@@HardcoreSustainable Florida??! I thought ur place /land/ home / sustainable farm in Midwest ? Last time I checked anyway cuz originally I thought FL !
What part of FL? U here just over winter 2 escape the cold?
@@HardcoreSustainable where is mother kamvucha? First time I drank it was 8-10 years ago in Asheville. I Couldn't find it here in FL anywhere for long time. eventually natural food stores here began selling it . then holy cow -last year I find whole shelf of it @ Walmart ! WTH of course they want in on the market! But anyway.ty 4 answering my questions
Yes I just come to FL to escape the cold and continue to be connected to growing things. I'm in St Pete. I do normally live in Missouri. That's also where Mother Kombucha is based and was started. They are going to be having their stuff at Publix soon if not already.
