i made wine

http://img7.photobucket.com/albums/v18/writer/picture_dump_661_Small.jpg'>

 

 

here is an early batch, it started fermenting soon after i put the yeast in. an animal bit it though, at least i think that's what happened, and it leaked out. so i made some more in a glass container, and tested it out a few minutes ago.

 

here's how i made it

 

apple juice

yeast

 

i put some apple juice in a bottle, then put a spoonful of yeast in. then i opened the cap for the gas to escape, then sat it down, for two or three days. next time i may experiment with other juices, or adding sugar.

My friends older brother spent a few weeks in county recently and picked up a recipe for Pruno. Turns out it actually works pretty well, tho i wont drink it on account of hearing people going blind after a couple drinks. Hope the stuff you cooked up works better.

good luck arcel..

 

i know a redneck who has spent lots of money to try and make wine and it just came out ok

 

i got free wine because i bartend and would save him empty bottles...

 

im sure you know there is a little more to winemaking than just adding a little yeast to juice..

I drank wine on bastille day and watched the tour as uaual

obviously not

 

High preist: haha, pruno

Have you actually tasted that shit yet?

Looks pretty fucking foul.

But cheers for actually yielding results, most people just bullshit about how cool it would be to do things like this and never follow through. Like myself.

i put some ice in a cup and drank it, i was already kind of drunk, so i don't know for sure how bad it is.

dude, turn this into a real project... that could be awesome.

 

grow grapes and everything from the A to the Z !!

My orange juice fermented by itself once.

thats hot...i wanna try that now

Apple Wine

 

Yields one gallon

 

1 gallon Fresh Apple Cider

1 tsp. Yeast Nutrient

1 pound Sugar

1 crushed Campden Tablet

1.5 tsp. Acid Blend

1 package Wine Yeast

.5 tsp. Pectic Enzyme

.25 tsp. Grape Tannin

 

Put juice into a primary fermenter bucket and immediately add the crushed campden tablet, all other ingredients except yeast, and stir well.

 

Cover loosely, and wait 24 hours. Add yeast, and stir daily. After 4-5 days, crush another campden tablet, place in glass secondary, and siphon into glass and put airlock and stopper on top.

 

In 3 weeks, siphon off of sediment into clean glass jug, along with 1/2 campden tablet, and re-attach airlock and stopper. Siphon along with 1/2 campden every 30 days for at least 2 more times, and again if still sediment. To sweeten slightly, add 1/2 tsp stabilizer, then 1/2 cup dissolved sugar per gallon. Wait 2-3 days, then bottle and cork.

i made root beer a few years ago. tasted pretty good also!

did it taste good?

im talking about the wine.

 

how do you make root beer?

i know your talkin wine, but root beer still ferments. i forget how you do it, i could maybe dig up a recipe, or you could google it. there is root beer extract that you can get at brewing places. you need water and yeast. after that i'm not sure

*edit*

if you want to make root beer pick some of this up.

I left a cup of McDonalds OJ in the car before we parked it at the airport when I was a kid. It was summer, and that shit fermented and smelled heinous when we got back.

 

Why the shit would you ever make wine from apple juice if you're not in jail?

So I'm not the only one?! No one has ever believed me when I told them.

Shit was for real, stanked up an entire 93 mercury minivan.

I like how casual this statement comes across

ok, if you want to go the "ghetto" route, and make some kind of "wine" by that method, heres the way to do it best....

 

get yourself some apple cider... if you have a local orchard, get it there... what you really want ideally is unpasturized, unhomaganized (sorry, cant spell) apple juice/cider. If its pasturized, you can still pull it off, its just easier if it isnt. Take your gallon, or however much you managed to get, and put it in another container. The very first few runs I did with this stuff, I used a gatorate bottle, the ones with the "sport" top - kinda like the pull up top that comes on most dish soap. Anyway, pour your cider/juice in the gatorade bottle, add yeast if you can get it (bakers yeast will work, but it ends up being not so good - it makes alcohol, but you could do better - if you can get live brewers yeast, use that) If you cant get yeast, and/or you want to really run on the wild side, (this is where the unpasturized stuff becomes important) you can let it go on its own (apple cider, or any unpasturized juice for that matter, had naturally occuring yeast that will ferment it, all it takes is time). This part is kinda gross, but spitting in it will also work - your mouth naturally has the right kind of yeast to turn sugar into alcohol - if you are the only one thats going to drink it, what do you have to lose? Anyway, put that shit in the gatorade bottle, and open the top up... get yourself a ballon, and put that over the top of the bottle. When the ballon gets really inflated, take it off and get the air out, put it back on. Keep doing this until the ballon doesnt get full anymore... then you are ready to rock - drink away, you made booze. You can bump it up by putting it in the freezer for a while and scoop the ice off, increasing the alcohol... if you want more details, email me, ill be more than happy to help

this thead makes me want to drink. really bad.

you can have some of my concoction.

i have

tea

milk

orange juice

ginger ale

tonic water

diet pepsi

cranberry juice

 

again i never drink gin if i can help it

Gin is hype.

 

My buddy has grapes growing all over his backyard. I think he missed the time where he was supposed to pick them, though. Anyway, I don’t think I’d drink this bastard’s wine because he’s extremely unhygienic. I hate showing up at his house hungry because I know I’ll have to eat one of his homemade burgers or something.

 

Arcel, keep this thread updated.

 

PS. This thread is funny somehow.

*believe*
