I think it's a perfect way if one is insensitive to the taste and smell of plastic and nylon in the wine. But then for people who eat canned and frozen food it would be no problem whatsoever.
Oh yeah, PLEASE buy a Hydrometer in addition to the yeast and camden tablets. You can get a good hydrometer for under $8.00 and it will insure that you don't add too much sugar and that you will get the right amount of alcohol for the yeast used to ferment.
ANY kind of fruit will work, just as long as there is NO preservatives. If there are any preservatives in the fruit or juice, it will NOT ferment. Make sure it's all natural.
You can use any fruit that will ferment. Let your imagination rule here. Any amount of fruit will make wine from about 5 cups up. You will use the hydrometer to measure the sugar content of your juice and must to determine the sugar needed. You may also need acid (lemons and limes) to get enough acidity to ferment correctly
hey i have 2 litres of grape juice.. 2 bottle of 1 liters.. 1 bottle is 41g of sugar if i combine will it be 82g? or still be 41g? and how much sugar should i add? and how much water should i add?
and finally i have 8g of yeast should i put it all in it?
thank you for your time.. my first time trying that hope itll turn out good :)
after adding the camden tablet how long do i let it rest for before adding the wine yeast, my only concern with this is if the camden tablet kills the brewers yeast as well lol.
If you wash everything with a mild bleach solution (1 Tablespoon/15ml Gal Water/4 Liters Water), and keep your hands sterile, you shouldn't need to add camden tablets to the mash/juice. The best way is to do a final rinse with a solution of a crushed camden tablet and water and allow everything to dry. Just keep super clean and don't contaminate.
I am not a wine make and would rather see him do it step by step while telling us what he's doing, and I'm guessing most people on here aren't wine makers either.
Do I need to stir the juice during the fermentation? If not, would you please let me know when I need to do stirring or I there is no need to do the stirring?
it is a good idea to stir during the first fermentation. but once racked into a secondary for the second fermentation just leave. do not stir. you should have sedement form on the bottom. this is good, as the wine will slowly clear when the yeast uses all the sugar up and dies then sinks to the bottom. when it is clear, all the yeast is dead and it is time to bottle.
basically for the secondary fermentation you don't need to do anything. just rack it off the sediment in the bottom of the first batch then put it in a clean conatiner. there will be enough yeast in the wine to keep fermenting. it will not be very vigerous, but you should see a few tiny bubbles after a day or so.
I have a comment and question. there is a indian dude, who uses concentrated grape juice instead of fruit. he says that campden tablets are not needed. I am curious of your take on his particular method. thanks for the info
campden tablets kill wild yeast, which is usually found on skins of fruit, but it can also just blow in through the open window. so from concentrate you don't really need them, as the juice will be sterilized. but you never know if a wild yeast is going to be somewhere on the equipment.
so no you don't really need them for concentrate and tinned fruit. more just a precaution.
yeah I know, check out an even cheaper way to make wine on my vids (youtube search on xvL3yxNeXok). it is about the cheapest way I can think of using real fruit, but not the cheapest way to make wine.
I'm making some wine now and I got ahold of some campden tabs. How long do you let the campden tabs rest before you add the yeast? Why doesn't the camp. kill the yeast? Also, why does the bucket fermentation not cause an aerobic pathway to occur rather than the anaerobic pathway(if you know)? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great vid
Hi again,I will try your method but before I do I have some kits to use up,but these kits make no mention of campden tablets,but would it be a good idea to add 1 or 2 anyway?or if the kit dose not allow for it could it do some harm.I have read in books you could add tablets in the bottled wine as well is that right,many thanks
for a kit I wouldn't bother about the campden tablets. they may use another yeast killer (the campden tablet is sodium metabisulfite). i doubt you will do any harm. the campden tablet just kills the yeast, both good and wild. but if the kit is sterile there will be no wild yeast so no need to. i wouldn't add one tablet to a bottle. usually 1 tablet to 25 liters is enough. too much of this stuff is not healthy.
Ok thanks for your reply,I was thinking of adding 1 tablet to 4.5 litres before bottleing, surprised 1 tablet is enough for 25 litres,many thanks again
Hi I am just starting out on wine making and reading up on it,in this video after you add the campden tablets you say it best to wait a bit but suggest you can go straight onto the next step.I have read campden tablets kill the yeast so you must wait 24 hours before adding the yeast, what your opinion on that as you seem to think you dont have to wait at all.
you should really wait a bit. I have progressed to adding yeast in about 2 hours. But really overnight is best. depends on how much of a hurry you are in.
the campden tablets kill wild yeast. in this case the fruit is coming out of a can, so should have no wild yeast. and if you sterilize everything should be OK. but if you do get wild yeast, the wine will taste slightly of sulphur
well, yep you sort of need the campden tablets as they kill the bad yeast, bad yeast causes a fermentation that has a "rotten egg" taste. however if making from tinned fruit and everything is steralized you could prob avoid them. yeast usually comes in on the fruit. but it can drift in with the wind
campden tablets, or you can use potassium or sodium metabisulfite. but campden tablets are easy to measure but buggers to crush. they kill the wild yeast.
Homeless people need to figure this out, where did you learn this shit?

Hi,
I was watching you video and it was interesting me so much, even I started making wine myself too.
I bought some 100% grippe juice and mixed with some amount of sugar and put into the jar.
I need to know more about the secondary fermentation, Do I need to add the Yeast again to the wine for secondary fermentation?
If not could you please let know what exactly I need to do for the secondary fermentation?
All the best
John
