Hello UA-cam, Joe here! Here we are making one of the LE limited edition kits from Winexpert, and I'm hopefully showing you just how easy they are to make! They take no time at all, and are a sure way to make delicious wines at home from international ingredients. The premium kits have more juice in them, and this kit included grape skins which help give more flavor and body to this red wine. Hopefully you learn a thing or two, or maybe even want to go to www.BIYHomebrewSupply.com and pick one up for yourself! Cheers! - Навчання та стиль
I miss your homebrew videos, Joe. Hope all is well!
Experienced winemaker here, I'd like to add some tips:
-Unless your making a sweet wine, forget about the sorbate. It adds a sweetness and a "kit taste" to a dry wine. If you ferment your wine "dry" the yeast have nothing to eat and as long as you sulfate the wine it will be ok.
- Look into Star San, its a no rinse sanitizer that kills bacteria thru a low PH. I love the stuff and its alot easier to use.
- If you really want to ramp up your wine quality- look into "extended maceration". Tim Vandergrift has great You Tube videos on it. You basically let it sit on the skins for 6-10 weeks after primary fermentation is done. I do it on all my kits now and the differance is incredible.
Really enjoyed your video.
B & C Paranormal excellent info ! I’m just starting my first batch of wine . I’ve brewed beer for years and wondered if I could use my .Star San in winemaking.
I have a tip for the skins. I sanitize a 5 g paint strainer bag. They're made of polyester and are much easier to put the skins into.
Miss ya Joe! Hope all is well and look forward to seing you on here again soon! Cheers my friend!
personally i love doing the one gallon kits as it gives me a good variety later on down the road. and i've ordered from this guy and he's the best. excellent quality kits!!!
As for how to get all the grape skins out, after you position the bag in the muslin, make a small cut in the top of the bag. That way, you prevent a vacuum from forming, and you can get all the skins out.
I totally agree about the wine skins. I've made red wine both from juice and whole grapes. The juice only wines lacked flavor, color, and body while my wines from grapes have all been great. I didn't know kits existed with skins. I may have to give this a try.
Agreed, although I have it better than kits, ive got about 450 Vines of Various Varieties in my vineyard its up to the following
Barbera
Alicante Bouschet
Cabernet Franc
Nebbiolo
Malbec
Merlot
Carmenere
Picardan
Picpoul Blanc
Fiano
Joe hope everything going OK
Hey man awesome video I just got a wine kit myself I wanted to add dark fruits and maybe some spices. When do you recommend adding them to the wine? Basically Which step would you recommend adding fruits/spices?
Hey Joe, where are you man? Long since you posted anything
Good video, well done, love the laughter and how you explain everything, you should have a television program. Hope all is well, Johnnywolf.
Hey Joe, where are the brewing videos? Miss watching your brew sessions using that sweet system you built.
Yo, Joe! Where ya been?
Joe I made the LE2016 Milagro and decided to try my first bottle after seeing you drink yours! Tastes great for being so young! Looking forward to see how it develops in a year or two.
Fun Fact You Should Know: Bentonite clay is one of the major ingredients used in the production of kitty litter.
It's due to it's high Absorbent qualities.
Welcome back Joe!
Hey Joe. I hope all is ok. Hope to hear from you soon.
is it recommended to use the fastferment for these premium kits with the oaks and skins? I assume it is more difficult to use with the need to press the muslin bag every day.
@terpsichoreankid
i just had a vanilla cream ale, i was wondering if you have any kits like that on your store or if it's something special id have to create.. the exact ale i had was a "Kentucky vanilla barrel cream ale" it's pretty good and i would recommend it as a great season drinker.. id also like to hear your thoughts on the ale. Cheers keep up the great content.
Joe you OK? No videos in a long time....hope all is well
dopo che ha bevuto questo schifo si è ammalato
NOOO...Potassium Metabisulphite does not need to be rinsed ESPECIALLY with tap water which could have chorine or bacteria in it.
Any updates coming miss your vids. Great content 🍻
Where did you go Joe?? Miss your videos
I'm back!
Hope all is well with you, Joe. Whether or not you choose to post more videos, I’m another of many who have enjoyed and appreciated all you’ve done.
Thank you! I'm making some new vids now, so stay tuned.
@@terpsichoreankid awesome! Clearly, this is a sign that 2021 will be great!
Cheers Joe! Welcome back
How would you make a sparkling wine from a wine kit can you do a video on that
Welcome back Joe. Been missing your brewing vids. Hope to see you hanging out at the mash tun and boil kettle soon. Cheers!
I've a question for the experts. Sanitation is so stressed, yet tap water is casually added. All kinds of microbes live in those pipes. Water flavor varies greatly from town to town Why not a boiled or distilled water?
How much alcohol percentage do get from a kit
Help!
I bought the costco merlo wine kit and im having a hard time following the instructions.
Can anyone please help kindky me and simplify the process 🙏
Joe, hope all as well with you.
Not a huge wine fan, but I'm so glad to see a new video from you!
Agreed! Joe is one of the best "Homebrewing" UA-camrs out there. Keep them coming Joe!
Checking in again.... nope, still no video from Joe.... Joe come back!!
What will cause wine bitterness?
Joe, I miss you, buddy!
Thank you good sir! Thinking it is time for an update video... lol
You found it again months later. LOL. That's even better the finding a $20 bill in your coat pocket from the previous winter.
Great video....thank you. The sulfite is a yeasts' worse enemy in the beginning. Why don't you use Starsan for sanitizing? It is no rinse too. Thank you
Hey Tony, just starting out making wine. Ive got years of all grain brewing experience. I use Star San all the time. Do you use it in Winemaking?
@@winnguyen443 star San works great for sanitizing your wine equipment. Its foamy though so either let it air dry or rinse it clean after sufficient contact time. People may yell at me for rinsing the star san. But I always allow enough contact time and rinse with good clean water I know doesn't have germs in it. I've never had bad results with my rinse method and will continue to do it.
@@FatCigarMafia thanks for the tip my friend!
Where you at joe?
I'm back!
Joe, you should do some mead.
I’m currently drinking some I started in February. I let it age for almost a year. It is really good, granted, I had to water it down a little because of how hot it is(25% ABV), but after that watering down, it is even better. Also, made from scratch.
I wonder if the glass pickle pebbles used for other fermentation's would hold the grape skins down so they don't need daily maintenance.
Interesting concept, might try that.
Great video
Where you at? hope you are doing okay!
Prost , just subscribed after finding your channel , we home brew beer make meads and wine , grow some hops
Hey Joe,... man we are now mid December and no 2018 Halloween Vids?~! I think we are all a little concerned about you. Hope you and your family are well.
Hello joe. Where are you
I'm here! LOL
Can you make a video about homemade sake?
Where are the new videos??? Havent seen any in a while.
Hey Joe. It was cool seeing you guys at the concert tonight!
Oh! Joe is alive and well? That's great to hear. I think his fans are starting to worry about him!
Joe just say something. Anything!!!!!!
@@patikaj924 Seriously. I always enjoyed his channel. I'm assuming he's busy with some life stuff and doesn't have time to worry about UA-cam - which is understandable.
Hope you're doing well, Joe! Been watching for years!
Any new videos coming? You usually post at least once a month.
I found a good collection of videos that will help on Grape Grower Folio
No videos now for nearly a year, is Joe still alive???
@@TheMentalblockrock I sure hope so! This was one of the first brewers I started watching on UA-cam. It looks like his stores are still in business.
Hello Joe! I keep checking for any updates from you. We all hope you are doing well. We miss you good buddy. Seriously Joe,...Halloween is coming. Hope to see you soon.
I wanted to email you but couldn’t find address. But where is this German fest we just moved to Indiana and was looking for stuff. Please comment
I bought 18L California blend Passport yesterday, hopefully, I won't mess it up
OK! That's it!! I'm making some wine!!! :)
did you end up making any wine?
where you been Joe need a brew video to watch
Come back Joe!!!!
Haha, I'm back!
Joe make a Kool Aid wine please!!!
I have watched a lot of wine videos, and yours was the first where I saw someone stirring the mixture just after putting in the yeast. Everyone else says you don’t stir the yeast at this point. Interesting that you did. 🫣
When should we send search and rescue?
I"m back!
No Halloween stuff this year? I thought that was your forte.
I think Joe has slowed down or possibly stopped making vids altogether to focus on wife, job, and life or something lol. I always look forward to his Halloween videos but he hasn't done them in a couple of years. I see many youtubers stopping and questioning whether its worth it to invest the time to create content when UA-cam continues to make it less worth from the monetizing side. I do videos because I enjoy making them but have struggled as well since I've had a kid, moved, and have so many other things going on. Its always in the back of my mind reminding me to get in front of the camera, tho....
WHATS GOOD ONE FOR A BEGINNER LIKE MYSELF THAT IS SWEET BUT NOT TO HIGH ON THE ALCOHOL END
Miss your Vids joe! I hope all is well!
Yo Joe, hope all is well, no more YT videos ?
Where is Joe? I think we all need to head over to his Patreon page. newer posts there.
I think he is dead
Joe,
you ever coming back to youtube? i miss your videos.
Yep! :-)
Quick questions for my fellow brew enthusiasts, I'm looking to start brewing here soon but im not sure of a good beginners kit to buy. I have seen some on northern brewer but I saw some bad reviews can anyone point me in a good direction? Im hoping to stay under the $200.00 mark since im only just starting. Thanks for any help! And keep up the great vids joe i watch them all the time.
Long Range Bush. BIY has lots of beginners kits. Its Joe's shop.
LRB, Hello, I bought all of my things to make wine in ebay. I kept looking for the best prices before I bought anything and all in all it really didn't cost that much. This is what I bought to get started. An 8 gal fermenter bucket with bung hole for the bubbler you will buy, large long handled spoon, hydrometer (I sanitize mine and float it right in the bucket) 6gal glass carboy (never degas in this, mine started cracking so I only use it for wine to set in) I also bought a 2 handed corker, A large funnel does come I handy sometimes too. There are other things you can get but that should get you started at way under the $200.00 you mentioned. Keep it cheap and fun and its very enjoyable and fun to do, There are tons of videos to gain knowledge in this hobby/craft. I wish you the best of luck !
Joe you alright man? Miss your videos.
Where have you been, Joe? Miss my fellow midwestern brewer. Are you still brewing?
I'm back!
Hey Joe, hope you are doing OK. A short update would be nice man. Still doing the channel, taking a break, quitting?
It is now 2020. Any news on Joe?
Slowly but surely getting back to it!
Seems Joe fell off the face of the earth. Hopefully you come back with new stuff soon. Now, down to business. We've seen you make wine and beer, let's see you make mead...
Joe! Where the F are you? You doing ok? Hope all is well. Any activity going on with Patreon? No brew vids in a long time. You still alive? 17!
Long time no see ???
这家伙喝醉了
OOOH NO!!!! you used TAP water!!!! YUK--- CLORINE!!!!
The very finest wine that I've ever made was raspberry. Took forever to finish, and had some odd gelling at one point, but it was incredibly tasty to drink.
Well over a year since the last video, is this channel officially retired?
I agree. Missing these videos.
Miss you, bud. Maybe you stopped drinking for a while? Either way, your fans miss you.
Nothing for 2 years. Are you ok Joe ?
New vids going up, if you haven't seen! I'm back!
@@terpsichoreankid so nice to hear 👍🍺
you are the type of person who should just order your bottle of wine and enjoy it.
Maybe Joe went to rehab? 🤷♂️
