  • Check the acid level of the juice....you may need some acid blend.

  • Good yeast plus sugar produce alcohol...

  • People always ask about bread yeast....you can use it,but it will not produce a strong alcohol level...the yeast will die at 8% alcohol.

  • Rack your wine every 15 days.

  • Pure grape juice is the real way to make good wine.....

  • Rack every 15 days until clear....then wash bottles and corks....prepare to bottle the wine...let bottles stand vertical for the first five days..then lay in a horizontal position turning once a week to keep the corks wet...

  • Rack your wine after 5 days and after the first 15 days...

  • Grapejuice in the bottle is one way to produce wine......just add the proper amount of sugar to the juice...plus check the PH of the juice..

  • The sugar content of the grape plus the acid content are very critical in making great wine!

  • Boil the juice for 5 minutes.......then add your sugar...let it cool...then add the yeast.
