For a sweet red wine here’s a recipe I came up with and love. 3 cans red grape juice concentrate 2 pounds sugar 1 cup strong black tea 3 table spoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon yeast nutrition 1 packet yeast of Choice (I used one that can ferment out to 18%) Mix everything together then add enough water to get to a one gallon mark, except the yeast. Then pitch yeast and let it go for a while. I didn’t take a reading at the beginning but it taste amazing.

Let it ferment out, kill the yeast, split the batch the way you like it. Back sweeten the part for your wife label whose bottle is whose. Cork. BTW. I frozen juice + 1 can water = 20 Brix . It takes about 18 to 20 cans + water to make 5 gallons. Pectin enzyme is a good idea.

In South Carolina, prison wine is called Buck. I was a Correctional Officer years and years ago.

3:44 I absolutely was not expecting and it gave me a good laugh!

Dang, never occurred to me to sterilize the yeast pack too. Talk about thorough. ;)

Another one that completes the hell out of making home wine.

nice to see you doing Videos again!

Similar to the way I make it, very suprising how good this actually comes out if you can wait several months to age properly. Btw, 4 teaspoons equals 1 tablespoon, I think u might of put 8 Tsp of yeast energizer. More the merry though

Can I use turbo yeast in my wine!

does it have to be 100% juice or can it be cocktail?

hi!! I've made followed your recipe, left my wine in the carboy for a month, then reracked for another month and bottled the wine. I checked my wine bottle on the 2nd day, there is stuff floating around inside the wine bottle. Did that happen to you? there was not sediment after I reracked the wine... I waited 10 weeks and this happened.

I liked the part that your Main Ingredient.

The smell you had in your hooch juice is Hydrogen Sulfide... You can get rid of it so you dont loose the wine again... Im in the middle of a 6 gal. Peach wine from fruit batch. I got it to, it happens sometimes.. Im actually making a video of the process.. I hate to see folks lose a batch of wine if it can be fixed...
