How to Make Wine - Step 2 - Racking

[andreiek2007]

great video! 90% of the people out there would rather go out and purchase wine instead of a DIY!

their negative comments = reflection of their sheeple mentality where they can't do anything for themselves!

[brese74]

you are a killer! this is a chemical drink, not wine!!!

[troymckin]

@brese74 Wine is a chemical drink.

@troymckin va a fè di buchen, moclon!

i am italian and tbh, this man should be ashamed for have been made this shit that he call wine, if in italy you serve a wine from that plastic shit ppl will shoot at your back

[joshfontanella]

@vicious6661982 why do you have to state that your italian it makes no difference your just making the rest of italy look like a bunch of idiots not the friendly people they are and they wouldnt shoot at your back for making wine in plastic (not that i agree with it but ah well it all makes wine in the end)

[Rickscreams]

Nice video! I just posted a short video on how to make really nice homemade wine quick and easy!!!

[jonanlsh]

the 2 people who disliked time as the the time of this post deserve to be drowned in wine.

[MightBiteYa]

@jonanlsh Why ever would you give the cretins such a sweet goodbye as that?!

[lfi18593]

I prefer wine produced with experience and lot of love! Give me a good French from the region of Vouvray, please!

[tommigun147]

wine from juice???lol!!!why don't you try to drink some vinegar?it will be the same with diferrent taste but the same quality!

[JudahBrewer]

@tommigun147 what are you talking about? Are you referring to the fact that it's a concentrate and not pressed by this guy?

[kcgremlin33]

lol that sounded like a bong hit

[coberly7]

Thank you for posting this video!  I have talked to several people about this process and you have cleared up many questions I had. Let the wine making begin!

[MegaRybo]

i started my fermentatiobn in a plastic carboy, can i rack it into the plastic bucket as a secondary container? also can i expose it to air to take a reading while its fermenting. Many thanks, its my first time brewing

[bicepsca]

I did not see you add sugar?

[awatkins3]

The 'kits' contain juice with enough sweetness to make just enough alcohol. No added sugar is necessary. Sometimes, for fruit flavored wines or slightly sweet wines, there is an extra juice pack that you can add at the end of fermentation. Initially, the sweet juice is needed to make alcohol, later on you can add some sweetness for taste.

no messing. superb. Thanks.

@5JUNE1950 why do you even watch these videos? go ride your magic carpet

[5JUNE1950]

i say that wine is haram!!! in Islam i hate Christians and anyone who drinks alcohol and all kinds of it Muslims are good believe me and you will not be disappointed so anyone do not comment just leave me alone ooh!!! i almost forgot i got to pray dhuhr.

[warclassics]

@5JUNE1950  No one cares.

[USMC0351Grunt]

Excellent series of instruction into wine making. Easy to understand and very through with the information and recipe.

[coronapeacock]

my pc just put that in not me

[coronapeacock]

this guy know's nothing

[whomejohn]

@coronapeacock maybe he is aware that you don't use an apostrophe in the word knows, at least...

[AuburnCreed]

You are right. I've been reading extensively on the subject and he's made several mistakes. A couple being 1. You don't put an airlock on the primary fermenter and 2. you top off the secondary fermenter to limit the surface area of the must, and exposure to oxygen.

[jcrone2ds]

@AuburnCreed False of course you put an airlock on the primary fermenter!!!!

[tronfox]

Sorry Sir I have another question, I have waited the fermented grape juice for a week, but i see, there are many bubbles on the surface of grape juice.

so what should i do with the bubbles (just ignore them)?? and should i wait more days for racking?

[awatkins3]

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but I'll just play along for everyone's benefit. The yeast eats sugar or anything considered sweet and converts it to alcohol. The by-product is carbon dioxide(the bubbles). The bubbles are harmless, and as the yeast dies (or stops reproducing), the bubbles stop. Rack after a week into a tighter container to prevent air (bacteria) from contacting the wine.

[tronfox]

No Sir, I am completely serious :-)

now i have rack the wine..but the taste is not sweet or bitter..it's bland taste.

and its smells sourly..is it normal??

can i add the sugar?..when the exact time for it?

[TheMILROB]

Hi mr. Watkins,i would like to make my own wine this year so i have some ? for u pls. instead of using a concetntrate grape juse,can i use a real fresh grape juse(must) ?and should i keep the same proces as shown on ur video? I think the video its briliant!And very helpfull.

[tkodawg9]

Is he making Meth?

[fachino1]

hi andy i would like to know if the top of the plastic lid has two holes mine has 1 small hole and I put the air lock in it is this right ?

[awatkins3]

Yes, this is perfectly fine.

[defiythelie]

yeah. why would you need two holes in the Lid?

[awatkins3]

ha, that's what we call balloon wine because you can cover the opening with a large balloon, and supposedly when the balloon shrinks, the wine is done. College students do this to make cheap wine. Not that your Grandfather made cheap wine, but it's quick and easy to make alcohol...if you don't mind the taste.

[snwbm]

Is it possible to just start the wine in the carboy instead of transfering?

[awatkins3]

I'm sure it's possible, but I've never done it. Let me know how it comes out. The only difference will be 1. the amount of sediment, oak and yeast left behind because you're not racking.

2.The amount of oak contact time, since it's left in the wine longer.

3. Leave the bung hole wide open because of the heavy amount of fermentation...it will spray into the air with too much constriction from the small airlock opening. Not sure what difference it will make in the taste, if any.

[snwbm]

If I remember correctly (which I vaiguely remember) my grandfather used to place a plastic bag over the top of the carboy and tie it on with a piece of bicycle tire innertube. That way the gasses could slowly leak out around the edges without outside air entering. He didn't even have an airlock. I unfortunately can't remember if he did transfer it from container to container.

[ilinformerli]

Yes

[geotvheadoffice]

well done ! Good

[ratecoudo]

great
