Home made wine strained & rebottled

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

tim coffee cup Canadian beer shirt... quit being such a stereotype lol

surprised you were not eating Poutine

[applemonkey187]

the metobite sulfite is a preservitive.and it keeps your yeast from doing what it is sposed to.it might ferment a lil bit but not much.i usualy stick with organic fruits ,thro em in the food processor add some water sugar yeast and it turns out really nice.

i just did apples and rasins with about 2 tbs of lemon juice and added some iced tea from tea bags (didnt put em in the ferment) and it taste allmost like woodchuck hard apple cider.

love doin this stuff.

[Sn0manX]

its better to siphon the wine with a vinyl hose, that way air doesnt mix into it like when you pour. wat i do is siphon it into the bottle, let it sit for a couple days and siphon it again. that usually gets out most of the sediment. and alwayse leave a little bit at the bottom when siphoning so you dont suck up a buncha goop

[deanclark457]

Is there anyway of making it really strong? As in super alcoholic?

[Sn0manX]

@deanclark457 put a shot of everclear in it XD kills any bacteria that may be in thurr and gives it a lil kick

[dbird209]

And jakeandder I had a question I'm using highly active yeast and the brand is fiershers or something like that but is that ok to use and do I need to do anything different ?? Right now imy wine ihas been sitting for about a week and it look like a very solid purple Iis that normal?? Please reply thanks:

[dbird209]

@stonesaceofspades How can you use the sludge to make more?

[stonesaceofspades]

you can use the sludge to make more

[stonesaceofspades]

dude im so fukin shitfaced of this shit

[josalazar18]

do i have to poke a holl in it so the pressure doesnt brake the bottle?

[OhneMoosNixLos]

Uhm....can't you get fucking blind of that?

[cbk0verk1ll]

the carbonation will leak out after some time

[isitsurgical]

How did you stop the yeast from growing?

[Screamcirque]

"Oh I don't know about that one..." Made me laugh, going to try to brew my own based off your vids...appreciate it!

[Nautical1994]

I'm worried that the bottle is going to burst, I haven't done it before so I'm not really sure what to expect. Its the third day so far and the bottle is pretty ballooned, should I release some pressure or just let it go? I put roughly 5 teaspoons of sugar in the bottle. I might put it in a bucket or something just so I wouldn't have a huge mess to deal with if it did explode...

[starwarscary]

@Nautical1994 Was yours okay. Did it explode?

[Nautical1994]

@starwarscary I felt it was on the edge of bursting and didn't want to risk it so I ended up releasing a bit of pressure. It was still producing some gas so it built up a little bit more pressure since then but it has stopped now and seems fine. Not sure how much carbonation its going to have but oh well. Mind you I winged it much more than he did in the video, I'll be surprised if it turns out good.

[starwarscary]

@Nautical1994 I'm doing the same thing you're doing. It's only been fermenting for 24 hours but if I run into this problem what do you recommend? cheers.

[Nautical1994]

@starwarscary Well the bottle I used is a little different than the one in the video, it was more of a rectangular shape. Right now it is in a circular shape, the bottom is bulging out so it is standing up a little higher than it should, and the cap is even rounded on the top because there was so much pressure. If your bottle starts to expand way to much like mine did, and its very very hard to the touch and still producing gas, you may want to release a little bit of pressure so it wont expode.

[Nautical1994]

@starwarscary Keep in mind this is my first time doing any kind of wine making and may not be the best thing to do but nobody really told me otherwise and I didn't feel like I had enough time to wait to find an answer since I had to leave for a few days with no way of checking on it. I still think if I did not release any pressure it would have exploded by now, though.

[starwarscary]

@Nautical1994 I bet yours will turn out good.

[Antonyquartz]

Cheers mate

[Antonyquartz]

Have had mine fermenting for two weeks but the temperature was a little low have rigged something up to keep it right....would it be ok to leave fermenting for another week to see if it settles and clears? it still bubbling like crazy

[mechreports1]

@Antonyquartz mate you basically leave it to forment but i wud put it in secondary fementation cos the yeast can taint the final flavor if left with the brew for too long so put in another container mate and leave to keep formenting but make sure its been filterd mate so you leave the sludge at the bottom

[dougshamblin60]

Great set of videos on wine and beer making. I like your approach.  I do something similar. I started using frozen concentrates instead of bottled juice because they didn't seem to have as many preservatives but it's basically the same.

So far I've made white grape, regular grape, white grape/raspberry, apple and one we call "kitchen sink" because it had four different kinds of juice. All have been very drinkable and between 12 and 15% alcohol. (I generally use champagne yeast)

cheers

[0757brian]

THE POTASSIUM METABISULFITE ACTUALLY KILLED THE YEAST BEFORE IT EVER HAD A CHANCE TO GET GOING GOOD WELCHS PUTS IT IN THERE SO THAT THE NATURAL YEAST IN THE FRUIT JUICE DOESNT FERMENT ITSELF

[newdog555]

Funny lol

[cavibird2005]

I once bottled some HM Wine into some 40oz bottles, which I had primed. They exploded in my closet in the middle of the night. Just a word of caution.

[peroxidal]

so its not a gallon its 2 quarts?

[may261994]

8:20 - 8:35 is fucking hilarious

[jreedmcu1]

hahahahahahahahahahah

[toddk911]

So how did this batch turn out?



[13pimpmaster13]

do u have to boil it

[XxStrazgameRxX]

do you screw the cap on all the way when you let it sit?

[michaelrizzo96]

@XxStrazgameRxX  yes

[13pimpmaster13]

i was wondering if u dont strain the yeast out will it make the alcohol stronger and just get the sluge out. and another question do i have to boil it after two weeks.plz get back to me on this question

[TheHeartOfTheLion]

@13pimpmaster13 great question.

[13pimpmaster13]

i was wondering if u dont strain the yeast out will it make the alcohol stronger and just get the sluge out. and another question do i have to boil it after two weeks.

[LUMBEE031]

YAH IM MAKING MINE FROM JUISY JUISY I HOPE ITS GOOD IMA HAVE D HOLE DAM HOODE DRUNK FROM 1 AMERIKAN 2 A KANADIAN THANKS.

[mechreports1]

jakeanddar

please reply to this mate

ok 2 questions for you, is the red welches grape juice the stuff u mix with water like u put in a bit of that grape stuff and the rest water or is it just like the carton stuff?

and 2: would the normal carton stuff still work the same if i added a bit of water to it so the yeast has a bit more water? thanks mate and please reply man!

[jakeanddar]

@mechreports1 It was the premixed juice from the factory & you could add water if you wish but that would dilute the flavor the water you add. Cheers!

[mechreports1]

@jakeanddar thanks but 1 more question could i use grape juice from a carton?

[jakeanddar]

@mechreports1 You sure can and I'm pretty sure it works better if the carton reads no preservatives,preservatives tend to alter the flavor and not necessarily in a good way,Thanx cheers!

[mechreports1]

@jakeanddar thankyou matey ima make sum as soon as i have money to spare thanks again im going to sub to you!

[baseballfreakk13]

do you have to strain it?

[jakeanddar]

@baseballfreakk13 I did with just a clean permanent coffee filter,not a great strainer for this type of thing but it's all I had the time.

[Daeven1]

Jake, you rock. I started my own botle of Welch's red wine a few days ago, based on your direction. Really looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

I think I will make a second bottle, to let age after rebottling, and then try the first one after a month, because I want to try it out! From one Canadian to another, thank you.

[jakeanddar]

@Daeven1 Excellent thanks,I hope your batch turned out well for you,Cheers!

[NlMG1388]

so after i mix everything up and put th ecap on half way, do i wait every 2 weeks and keep filtering it or just the one time? and if so i just seal it all the way and just let it sit?

[jakeanddar]

@NlMG1388 I just transferred and filtered it once and let it sit for two months.

[offgridmontana]

I use a cheese cloth to filter, works ok, not the best though.

[saythetruth40]

THANK YOU :)

[alaskan228]

But this is a cool video tho

[alaskan228]

All of u guys are under age

[OrgSynthJosh]

Potassium metabisulfite is a common wine or must additive, in which it forms sulfur dioxide gas (SO2). This both prevents most wild microorganisms from growing, and it acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting both the color and delicate flavors of wine.

funny how the thing you accuse of being a foreign evil chemical in your shit hick wine is actually a common additive to real wines.

[xandilee]

lol you hilarious you remind me of bubbles...that being said ..I have used this method a few times prior to watching your vids, only differance was I put in about a 3rd of a cup of stewed dates ...its always turned out ..usually its ready in a week to ten days and gone in a evening..fallowed by a hell of a hanger !...Ill try your way this time and see how she goes ............ill post to ya when its done ......cheers from Calgary

[evilfkndead]

You can use the freezing method to distill the white wine.

[MrJomMan]

OMG I made the wine and tested it after two weeks and at first it tasted like some decent storebought wine then the after taste of idk what but it tasted horrible. Obviously it was bacteria but should i throw it out and try again or are there ways to get it out oh yeah and i was too eager so i kept checking on it was that what couldve let the bacteria in?

[jakeanddar]

@MrJomMan Most likely,you have to just loosen the cap slightly while fermenting and when you transfer to another jug rinse the jug several times with very hot water(cap including). After that you cap it tightly,place it in a dark closet and forget about it for 3 or 4 weeks,mark it on the calender so you can remember when you started. Thanks

[mike12703]

@jakeanddar do you have to put sugar in it?

[roman10o1998]

what did you put in the jug for the carbonation.

[jakeanddar]

@roman10o1998 It actually didn't carbonate at all,I think the cap didn't have a 100% tight seal.

[jldokes07]

what is first stage video

[jakeanddar]

@jldokes07 The how to make redneck wine video.

[PAHS20099]

how did your red wine turn out? and did the white wine clear up at all.

[jakeanddar]

@zeen137 Can't get to 30% as the yeast dies at about 14 to 15%. I believe the only way to get higher alcohol contents is to distill and I know very little about distilling. thanks for asking.

[blowgunking1994]

@jakeanddar i tried your method by just losening the caps lightly, and my grap juice bottle hase ben sitting for 2 days, and its been foaming out the sides of the cap, is this normal? Should i just let it foam, the grape juice level hasnt dropped or anything, its just foaming, what should i do?

[daikaiju20]

potassium metabisulfite is preservative, yeast have hard time living in it, thanks much for sharing your process! what is "redneck" ?

[Rawaussie]

Cool video, the white one might turn out mighty strong!! Lol @ the tags...inmate, hooch and wasted HAHA classic! Keep up the good work! 5 Stars!

[jakeanddar]

Thanks mate very much appreciated.

[DogsAreMyLife]

Even if it tastes like shit and smells like rubber you can distill it and then add the alcohol to fresh fruit juice.

[jakeanddar]

Thats an interesting idea. Sounds like I might have to.

[analog56x]

hahaha! @ 9:19

thats hilarious dude! i watch alot of english shows, and thats freaking hilarious

[jakeanddar]

What did I do? looks like something backwards.

[analog56x]

@jakeanddar haha, pretty sure its like, 'up yours' or something similar :P

[analog56x]

TIM HORTONS FOR THE WIN!

i would use a couple paper coffee filters to strain it. those should work better than that one

[jakeanddar]

Ya you could be right,I just want to spend to much time straining,no pun intended.
