nice video. i am trying this for the first time i am using apple/cherry concentrate . i am just wondering if you try that before? and if so how many of the concentrate did you put in? also it taste a little weak right now not much fruit flavor. i just mix sugar, water,concentrate and lemon juice i put in 8 concentrate. and 16 cups of sugar. will it taste more fruity after i add yeast and let it ferment about 90 days or should i add more concentrate now?
@tjs900tjs All concentrates are pretty much the same, but this batch that I made came out really really dry. The next time that I make wine, I am going to add at least 3 more cans of concentrate. I don't like dry wine. I'm a sweet wine drinker. You can use any concentrate that you want.
@sciencegirl1 The raisins just make me feel like I'm making real wine. Without rasins nothing really changes but if you don't use rasins put another canister of juice concentrate in.
I have watched this vid a dozen times good vid im about to try it out but i was wondering if i could use white grape juice concentrate and golden raisens.
@cokeman250 This recipe is nothing more than a way for someone to get started. White grape juice and rasins is fine. After you discover that you can make alcohol all by yourself for little money, you will be making wine out of everything that you can get your hands on. I highly recomend that after about 3 weeks you taste the wine to make sure that it is going where you want it. If it is not sweet enough for you feel free to add more concentrate.
Hey bub, I saw the box of raisins but how many small boxes do you think were in the big one.? I can't seem to find the big boxes anywhere around where I
Live. Thanks man. Great job and keep up the survival videos... I love them !!!!! Later bub.
I'm surprised you didn't make this point, but making wine is an excellent way to purify water. That's-as I'm sure you know the way it was discovered, out of necessity.
@stabnshoot Oh Yeah. In fact in the Bible one of Pauls letters had a note in it to Timothy that told him to drink wine for the sake of his stomach. Apperently the water was making Timothy sick.
Well thats a good point but i dont under stand why they didnt have grape or apple juice concentrate at the store ... but they fruit cocktail is bubbling So the yeast must be alive right?
i did this but the store i went to didnt have plain grape or apple concentrate or canned juice so i just got some un sweetened fruit cocktail and ill see how it works
@jjohnson11000 I tried to make some wine with fruit coctail before and it wouldn't work. I was told later that there was a preservative in it that kills yeast. I saw my neighbor making wine with fruit coctail and when I told him about it he said that he only used the kind that was preservative free. But I read somewhere that in prison that is how they make alcohol.
@Prepare2Survive Best comment so far. I have never heard of autumn olive before. I hate invasive species, but when they make food that's a different story. Now all that I have to do is find some.
@jjohnson11000 My squirrels harvested over ten metric tons of muscadines on my place last year. Next year I plan on harvesting ten metric tons of squirrels. My neighbor and I actually did make about 30 gallons of grape wine made from muscadines that grow about 500 feet from my house. He cultivates them on arbors.
I made wine years ago but always had to buy that expensive wine maker kit with concentrate. Never realized it could be done so cheaply with value brand items....Thanks alot for getting me interested in this great hobby again!!
@fullbushman All that you really need from the store is sugar and yeast, and some people make their own yeast. Nearly any surplus fruit or produce can be put in to flavor it with the sugar water as long as it doesn't have mold mildew or bacteria on it, and even then you can boil it long enough to kill those things.
@TheHomeschoolingmom Everything in this messed up world is marketing. It's all lies and we are all at the merrcy of the social machine. Yeast is yeast. My neighbor uses really expensive yeast and when I suggest to him that bread yeast is just as good he says "Oh well It only cost me a buck and a half to make 5 gallons" I buy the bread yeast at sams and it cost me about a penny to make 5 gallons. That's a huge difference in my book.
Great explanation! I know it might sound funny, but have you ever tried to make wine with garlic? I only ask because I know someone who grows a ton of it every year and we're always trying to think of new ways to use it. Thanks!
@GreenEggsAndHamster Onion works so, I don't see why garlic wouldn't work. It probably wouldn't take more than a minute to find a recipe, but just because someone post a recipe doesn't mean that the recipe will work. I have tried saki 3 times with bad results every time.

@Dewayneyork1 The box is 24oz. You could just use another can of juice concentrate if the raisins are too expensive.
