This is how you make wine from fruit. It is the only recipe you will ever need to make any fruit wines. This video concentrates on the making of wine directly from fresh picked fruit or frozen fruit. It is relatively simple once you know the equipment you need and the necessary ingredients and the process of turning fruit into wine.
It is a great hobby and if you like wine, you can not beat homemade wine that you have made. You can share with your friends or just keep it all to yourself. Once you get the equipment and ingredients you can make wine from .50 cents per bottle to 3.00 dollars per bottle which is cheap.

But it's really not about the savings, its about the taste. Literally this recipe is the best Fruit Wine I ever have tasted and have been told by others that as well.
So if you are just starting out in the hobby, give it a try it really is not that hard to do yourself. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment, even though it makes it easier sometimes. I've seen people make wine out of soda bottles, milk jugs and everything in between.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime and I will gladly help you along in your hobby, because that is what this channel is all about. Share How To videos of things I have learned over the years to make life easier. Work smarter not harder as they say.

This is my third year of making fruit wine following your videos. I started with Persimmon in 2022, and added pear in 2023 (both from our trees). This year I added Huckleberry (from a friend in Idaho). When you said, "It will be the best wine you ever tasted.", I was very skeptical. However, you were right. Last night my wife and I enjoyed a bottle of pear wine with dinner, and I have to admit, this is some of the best wine I have ever had. I make the wine to give to friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Everybody loves the wine. Thanks for producing these videos that have made the process so easy and successful. I really can't thank you enough.

Living in Maine, i picked alot of blueberries this Summer with my little helpers (grand daughters). Anyway, after rinsing them well, stems etc i froze them and this also breaks the cell walls for fermetning later. I also use a pound of raisins which i put in my blender with two cups of frozen grape juice to blend and chop well. I find this helps fermentation also and adds more brix content. Nice video! tom

I followed your recipe and instructions using Hachiya persimmons from my tree for Christmas gifts. After 20 years of letting the deer and birds eat the fruit I learned that Persimmon wine is common in Korea I decided to give it a try. I had doubts the entire time while making it, but it turned out great. People were skeptical when I mentioned 'persimmon wine' but were asking for more after tasting it. I'm making a double batch for 2023. Thanks for the great videos!

Update on Wines In my previous post, I stated that I was a little worried because the air locks started bubbling furiously in the carboys after I raked it from the buckets. This was supposed to be going from primary to secondary fermentation stage. You told me that I may have racked it a little too soon and that it would probably finish up in the car boy. You also told me instead of racking it at 30 days to wait at least 45 days which I did. The airlocks had finally slowed. Today was the 45th day and I racked both the muscadine and concord wines. I tasted it and you were right… It is very dry at this point. I think I will be OKAY! Thanks for your help. I will keep you posted.😊

Pretty much good information that a new home winemaker would need to know. Just a few comments: Don't rinse off the sanitizer. It potentially introduces bacteria to your brews. Water pipes are not clean, even if it's a well. StarSan sanitizes using phosphoric acid, which at recommended dilution levels are strong enough to kill bacteria and unwanted wild yeast. When further diluted with your must will actually feed and help build your new yeast colony. Would you please review how to read a hydrometer? Hydrometers measure the density of water. The percentage is potential alcohol and should only be used on the first reading to get an approximation. Really it should not be used. Use the specific gravity (SpG) and do the math. There are more complicated equations, but here is an easy one that will get the percentage accuracy within a 1/4 percent; if you want the other one, I can post it. Take a starting gravity (SG) and a final gravity (FG), then calculate: (SG-FG) x 131.25 = percentage alcohol My comment seems critical, but you make good videos and have a lot of good information presented in an easy-to-digest manner. I also watched all available parts of this wine process.

Thanks for that. It drives me crazy when time after time after time I see people who claim to know what they're doing sanitizing everything - and then they rinse it off with tap water. It pretty much defeats the entire purpose. Not to mention the fact that depending on how aggressive your local water treatment plant is, that tap water may be full of chlorine/chloramine that's going to make your wine taste like, well, bleach anyway. I lived in one city that used so much chlorine the water was undrinkable; even ice cubes made with it tasted weird. Our laundry got nice and clean, though.

Trap a zip tie under the two you've used to tie off the neck of your bag. Use this one to create a loop, through which you pass a broom handle, and suspend your bag hands free as you syphon the liquid. I use the same method as you do, since 1983. Great vid, thank you.

I made homemade wine before I just wanted to get back into it which is why I popped into this playlist. Excellent process and great recipe; the only caveat I have is the sugar you are using. I typically prefer to use raw sugar as processed sugar is stripped and bleached of all nutrients and natural flavors; that you just can't get outside of raw sugar or pure sugar cane. Other than using processed sugar; excellent info.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You made my day. I would say the whole process is about 4 to 5 months based on racking 3 times which Is 30 days between each racking. I find that sweetening your wine which Is coming soon brings out the fruit flavor and then aging. I will wait about 3 to 4 months to drink it. The longer it ages the better.... but when you Make homemade wine, you will not go back to buying wine it is that good. It's funny i thought i would try making wine same as you, but now i love the challenge of making it better and better and trying new things. ♥️♥️😁😁👍👍🍷🍷

Leaving out proofing the yeast is also suggested in artisan bread making. The logic is that if the yeast if fresh and therefore viable, proofing wll activate the yeast outside of the dough (mash for wine making) and you loose some, if not a lot of it's potential.

I too recognized a potential issue rinsing the starsan from the bag with tap water. I love starsan and starsan residue is safe but the bag sops it up like a sponge which I wouldn't want that much starsan in my product. His addition of campden tablets saves the day in his instance. Plus the fruit has plenty of its own yeasts and bacteria that are kept in check with the campden tabs. I don't suggest skipping sanitization but I believe you could since the campden is used. Rinsing the bag or letting it hang till its not holding so much sanitizer or not sanitizing the bag at all could be ok here. And I only say that because of the use of campden tabs.

Although it seems I am missing some key basic equipment here, like a siphon, which I was mistaken on what it was, until I saw the long tube. And as a filter, I'm just using a glass drip coffee maker. As a basic as you can probably get. Hopefully it will turn out half decent.

Excellent advice. What if you have a large quantity of fruit? Is it preferable to work in glass 5 gallon containers or can 30 gallon plastic barrels also be used? So, how about racking? Because the barrel is dark, you can't see sediments and wine purity. There is probably also a problem with air control.

@HowToDoneRight
@HowToDoneRight 2 жыл бұрын
If you are talking about adding fruit and extra juice yes you will have too much sugar and wind up with a super sweet wine because your yeast will die off once alcohol content Is too high leaving excess sugar. The best thing would be to take a reading with hydrometer before adding sugar water and see what potential alcohol is going to be. Then add sugar mixture slowly if hydrometer reading is low. But alot of people sweeten there wine this way upfront instead of how i do it at the end where you have more control. Your hydrometer will be your best friend to get it right upfront.

Sorry for the confusion. For this part of the recipe you just need to dissolve all the sugar that's called for in the recipe in water. I use a 12 qt stock pot. This should not fill bucket when adding the sugar water. You will then add tap water to get to desired level in your bucket.. i think i mentioned in video i use 6 gallon bucket because once take out pulp will be left with about 5 gallon of liquid which is perfect for 5 gallon carboy.

Update on my wine making project: My wines have been in the carboys for almost a week now after the primary fermentation. So far the taste is great. Is it normal for the airlock bubbler to start bubbling again after being racked in the carboys? I have concord and scuppernong. The concord has really become more active in the last day or so. The scuppernong airlock is not as active as the concord is though.

I used frozen fruit and added the camden tabs, acid blend, yeast nutrient, tannin and pectic enzyme. 24 hours later I sprinkled the yeast over the top. My starting SG was 1.100. I used Lavlin 71B. The temp is around 64 degrees. I stirred everyday and I am not seeing any bubbling action. Today(2/3/22) I checked my SG and it is at .92. Should I take out the fruit bag? Try to restart, or is this not worth trying to finish? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you were stirring after added yeast, was it foamy... it looks like fermentation is complete since SG is way down. You may have same problem i had some times the bubbler does not bubble. Could be small leak in bucket. It happened to me on small batches for some reason. Never used that yeast before... and if you taste it you also would taste alcohol and dry wine like.

If those specific gravity readings are correct according to abv calculator alcohol is 23 percent... usually a yeast will not tolerate that high... it sounds to me like you have a very strong wine. If you taste it it should taste strong...

Actually, I freeze all my fresh picked fruits for at least 48 hours. It makes the cell walls break down easier.

What if you cycle through freezing and thawing a couple times

Never tried that but may work. My fruit breaks down very well so probably not necessary. 👍👍

So glad I came across this video. I purchased a fermenter a few years back and never used it. Hoping to make a few batches using this recipe!

The absolute perfect way to make wine is to fill glass water jars, the huge ones, with water, and then tell Jesus you are out of wine for the wedding. 🤗
