This was so much fun to watch- Why did'nt you use a valve to let off carbon dixoide out? What if I wanted to bottle a big batch?

[NiftyButton]

@rodtawnyatucker A valve would work great (and I use one when I homebrew beer). I just used a balloon in this video since most people probably have one at home already.

I really enjoyed your video and your delightful sense of humor about making this wine, I am using your recipe, the wine supply store told me to put a yeast nutrient in, one teaspoon per gallon, he said it needs it to make it come out right and I also used wine yeast, this is my first time making this, I hope it comes out alright.

@Unshackledtruth Thanks! I can't wait to hear how your batch turns out. Have fun!

what song is this?

btw, found you vid the most informative, loved it!!

@stinglikeskrpion It's called "Dandelion Wine" by Palatypus. Glad you liked the video!

I liked your video very much, it was a lot of fun, it was very funny and you gave lots clear and usefull information and it doesn't hurt that you're so darn cute.

If I may, I would like to offer this bit of advise. You should refrain from aerating the wine after the fermentation is complete. tubing for siphoning is inexpensive from a hardware store. I think doing this will make your wine taste even better.

I'm looking forward to trying your recipe.

Good instructions and video! I've been making a similar wine for over 10 yrs, it's now a staple in our house over the winter. That's what we serve for new years, and other celebrations! Spread the word, grape wine isn't the only wine out there!
