An update (2015-07-13) since I am getting a lot of questions about this. Your choice of equipment is a personal one, but here are some sites to help you choose. I am not endorsed by any, just found of have used their products.
Hi there!
For this wine we used this yeast: www.wyeastlab....
As for the equipment, it is just stuff we put together.
Basically you need big vessel, we used a 5 gal. glass water jug, some kind of a bubbler to let the gas out and a hydrometer.
As for a recipe there is not one for this video. We were going with the flow.
Basically you have your fruit and water, then add enough sugar to make the calculations for the yeast activation.
Here is a calculator you can use to help you determine how much sugar you will need to produce the amount of alcohol you desire.
www.brewersfrie...
www.lovebrewing...
So basically, fruit puree + water, then measure with hydrometer.
Calculate how much sugar to add, then stir in.
Add your yeast, and ferment for 2 weeks.
Put the wine in vessels, add a bit of sugar to active more fermenting...if you want sparkling.
Or, after the 2 weeks you can just drink.
Hope this helps.

Hey, Brix degrees is just a % of sugar in must. Like when you have a 1000g of sweet water with 100g sugar in it - you have 10% sugar solution or 10 Brix. Approximetly. When you buy juice it's written as carbohydrates in grams on the package (in europe at least). That's sugar. Some fruits are sweeter than others, some are more or less sour. Wine is made of grapes because grapes have best possible composition of sugar, acids, phosphorus for yeast to grow on and so on. Fruit wines just need some sugar or citric acid to compare to grapes and that's the whole magic. So, If you see 9 Brix and you have 4 galons, you just need to calculate how much sugar in grams would you have to have in 4 galons for it to contain for example 20 Brix. Then substract what you already have (9% of weight of 4 galons, assuming it's water) and there you go. This is *VERY* rough calculation because you assume wrong things and disregard some complexities. You can just check the sugar again and add it. You can't however substract the sugar, so better be on safe side.

@davidmanthei8472 9 жыл бұрын

Excellent and entertaining how-to. Just FYI, after filtering off the pulp, you could toss the must (wine) back into the carboy and let it sit under airlock another couple months, then filter again. Do that every 2 months until no more sediment appears, and then age until your wine is at least 6-9 months old. Even fruit wines get better with a little age on them. :) I started making home-made wines about a year ago, and it is hands-down the most enjoyable hobby I've had. And if life gets busy, I can always take as much time away as I need, and the wines just get better the longer they sit unattended.

You should allow the wine to settle so it clears up, before you bottle it then it will taste even better. Plus the stuff you threw into the compost could have been squeezed for more flavor and probably a few more bottles. One of those yeast packs is for 5 gallons of wine.

@southtexasmayhem5412 9 жыл бұрын

Eudaemonius MarkII Great stuff. I must ask, Sir: Did you happen to research "Dosage" as it pertains to winemaking, specifically in the case of sparkling wines? I noted that you added sugar to the individual bottles for the sake of carbonating the wine, however most sparkling wines produced in this method have some additional sugar added prior to marketing. To my knowledge, this is because of the wine's naturally high acidity - which I thought may help with it being on the "tart side," and better fit your liking.

@EudaemoniusMarkII 9 жыл бұрын

+Connor von Kill This was out first foray into wine making. We added sugar to the bottles according to what we had done in the past with beer. Yes, more research would prob help, but only so many hours in the day to master projects. :) Going to try hard cider making next. We will try more stuff. :) Appreciate your diligence.

Hey Robert. I have been making fruit wine for years. I have made Fine wines also but they are not as fun to me. One of the things that irretate me the most are wine snobs who never have made a bottle of wine and judge your wine. I found your video very fun and interesting. You did make some mistakes, and I love how you owned them. If I could give you advise I would use a fermenting bucket and a xl fermenting bag it will save alot of labor for about $20 of equiptment. The extra tartness you have could be from the tannins released by using a food processor. Please keep making videos they are fun to watch.

@juliannagabor7710 6 жыл бұрын

That was your very interesting article, here are some more tips for how to make wine… Use the correct equipment. Things like plastic buckets and bins come in different grades of plastic. You must use the food-grade plastic products not the cheaper buckets you might use to clean the floor! If plastic buckets and bins start getting scratched and grazed, replace them. The grazes will start harbouring microbes and eventually you’ll have a spoilt batch of wine. If stirring the must (the initial mix of fruit and water etc.) in a bin, scald the spoon with boiling water first to quickly sterilise it. Fill and top up airlocks with cooled, boiled water - never straight from the sink. Avoid metal spoons and sieves with fermenting wine - i.e. after the yeast has been added. Sometimes they can taint the wine. Avoid wooden spoons, which are hard to sterilise - plastic is far better. Reusing wine bottles is fine, ask friends to save them for you and check with local pubs or restaurants who are often happy to give them to you. Wash out immediately as a clean bottle will be a lot easier to sterilise when you come to use them. Rack your wine to clear it before bottling. That is, using a syphon tube, suck up the wine from one demijohn into another leaving the sediment (called lees) behind. The tubes with a base and valve are cheap enough and a make this easier. Allow the wine to settle for a week and repeat if necessary before bottling Never judge your wine by the taste as you bottle it. Most often you will think it is a disaster. Some wines can take 2 years to mature. As a general rule, maybe try a bottle after 5 or 6 months. If it tastes harsh, leave the rest for at least another six months. Allow time. Time is the great wine maker and you should never be in a rush. We’ve made wine that was nnine months in the demijohn before bottling and drunk it three years later. The next year it was even better! (Reference: Pavas grape plan website )

Try doing your primary in a bucket and transfer to a carboy for secondary... it will make your life easier. You wont have to cram sugar through a funnel. Nice video.

Daniel Carranza OK, so did you get a chance to make the wine?

@ursocr 9 жыл бұрын

Eudaemonius MarkII Yes... I managed to get the carboy, the airlock, yeast, siphon and other stuff at a brewing supply store here. Brewing the own beer is getting very popular here. The only thing is that it is not easy to get apple juice here, so I have made my hard cider with apple juice from concentrate... it has come a little dry, but I sweeten it with Splenda. Thinking to make mead next time... you know, honey wine.

Hi Mark - great video, I am so glad that I kept my aluminum screw cans now as I had thought they might work for bubbly wine. I don't know if you have ever tried this but many people do what is called "Back sweetening the finished wine". Just make a simple syrup or use Grenadine to sweeten to your taste after opening if it is too dry for your liking. I too prefer a sweeter wine and this method works great for me without struggling to get the perfect pre-fermented amount of sugar for the sweeter end product. Cheers!

I believe in Peru they make something like this they call "Chi-Cha." The one thing Chi-Cha has that you didn't add was purple corn and sugar cane. Both of those things are all over the place in Peru and might be a little harder to find in the States. I don't think they use any yeast at all in making their Chi-Cha. I believe Yeast is found naturally in the fruits. I remember trying some and it was very delicious.

+Eudaemonius MarkII I finally decided to take the plunge and attempt making wine out of a ton of cherries I bought and forgot in the bottom of my too cold fridge. I needed the pits for making almond extract so I took the salvageable cherries and ran them through my vitamix with sugar. I didn't add yeast or water. (I'm hoping the natural yeast will be enough) Wish me luck.

To save a little time and take some of the messing about trying to get the pulp in the carboy...why not use water (that you were going to use anyway) in the blender with the fruit… blends quicker makes a much more free flowing pulp?
