Making basic good wine can be a simple process. This is a great way to start!
Thank You! That's what I aimed to do!

I can guarantee there is homeless people with a phone that look up stuff like this. Why panhadle for hours to purchase a bottle of wine when you can go to a wallmart and pick up a ton of Welshes juice and bread yeast and make your own..
@@Professor__Sain't not homeless person gonna panhandle for a bottle of wine. They're getting a $2 malt liquor beer and some meth
Another trick is to put a balloon on it instead of a top. The balloon will fill with air and when the air leaves, you'll know it's ready. Great channel!
Great tip! Congrats on 100 Subs 😉🤙🏾🌱
Take a needle and poke a pin hole in the balloon.
Oh you just had to share your knowledge, huh? Why don't you go make your own video.
@@lindakrause8793 Dumbest comment ever. If you aint got nothing nice to say dont say nothing at all. People have no decency anymore. This world is doomed.
@@lindakrause8793 are u getting offended for someone else? Lol okay Karen
I grew up in a big family in the 1960's. As a family tradition, we would make wine starting on Thanksgiving and drink it for Christmas. We would use a similar process using Wyler's Grape Juice, but we would stretch a large balloon over the spout to allow gas to escape. The balloon would fill up with CO2 as it fermented. Oh we were between 8 and 14 years old at the time. Christmas was always magical...
Yeah... nothing like presents and alcohol to make Christmas magical for kids. 🥴
Lol

Thank u.. my girl passed in Nov.. she used to do this with lemonade.. but I never learned her process.. this means alot to me
I'm sorry for your loss darling. From someone who's been making Hooch in the Ozarks for a long long time let me suggest what she might have done. The Welch's juice container is 2 quarts so you can use an empty juice container and fill with distilled water. Use half a pack of yeast and two cups of sugar. Shake it up pretty darn good. I use rubber gloves with just a pin hole in the middle finger and rubber band that on tight to the top of your bottle. Keep between 70 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit for about 4 weeks. When it's done doing it's thing, you know the bubbly stuff, take one pack unsweetened lemonade Kool-Aid brand. Pour that into your alcohol and now you have lemonade alcohol. Done it many times myself. No need to add more sugar because you already did. If you get a chance let me know how you like it. Blessings sent from Grandma Gia in the Ozarks
This gives new meaning to the term "cheap wine", but I shop at thrift stores and am all for that.
You can drink the goop at the bottom, it would be full of vitamins and minerals and contains some good amounts of vitamin b12. It would taste a bit gritty and would give you wicked bad farts but it is not bad for you. Also you could wash the lees and use them to cultivate a strain of yeast that you could use again for the same brew (welches grape juice) and you would get a stronger wine with more complex notes because the yeast will have adap[ted to that environment and will help create a superior wine
Great info.
How do you wash the Lee's?
We call that process, a kicker!
And drinking the bong water gets you a better high right? Jokes aside that’s good info
Great info
My mind is totally blown 🤯! Gardener, canner, and soon to be wine maker! Yesssssss my garden family is the Best! Thank you sooo much!💗
You are so welcome! 🍷🤙🏾🌱
What I like most about your video was that you didn't over-complicate things. A lot of CZcamsrs get fussy with wine making saying you need a bunch of equipment and other stuff. I can see myself actually trying your method.
Fleischmann's yeast and straining your wine through cheese cloth will remove all traces of the yeast because you risk your wine turning into vinegar instead of a good aged wine.
Brilliant suggestion absolutely brilliant I'm trying to make vinegar and am having a real tough go at it the first bottle worked but the last 4 I got nothing
no need to strain. When fermentation is completely done, it'll settle at the bottom and basically stick. It shouldn't turn into vinegar, lmao.
Your video contains the most concise and straightforward instructions. I've watched 11 diy winemaking and at the conclusion of your post, I made my first batch. Thank you!
I agree
How was it??

You know, I started watching your video because I thought this might be fun to do. I actually got busy with other things, came back and watched again, not because I wanted more information (you did a pretty good job of explaining) but because I haven't heard such beautiful music in such a long time. I didn't realize how much I love good music until now. Thank you for that. Such a nice change from all the other videos on CZcams, yours wins the most appropriate, relaxing, and wonder music of all.
I made this once using frozen concentrate and yeast but no sugar. I used a gallon jug to ferment it and a balloon on the top which inflated while the wine was fermenting. When the balloon deflated fermentation was pretty much done. Next, I decanted the juice/wine into quart bottles, capped them, and sealed the caps with wax. After a few weeks it was ready to drink. Wasn't bad at all.
Way cool you showed the nuts and bolts and took out the fancy. The fancy is nice, sure however taking the tech out of it shows everyone how to be more independent and enjoy crafting something. Great video bro.
Great stuff straight to the point. I'm ready to start my journey to wine making thanks.
I've enjoyed watching you making your DIY Welch's wine. The first time I ever tried doing it myself, I pretty much exactly followed your process, except I siphoned off the wine into clean bottles. More recently, I bought some wine yeast for cheap online, and the last couple of times I've used this same process as yours, I've used the wine yeast. I don't really think there's much of a difference. I've read some folks say that bread yeast won't work because the alcohol kills off the yeast and you wind up with a wine that barely has any alcohol content. I don't believe this to be true, simply because I got a little loopy after drinking a couple of glasses of my bread yeast wine.
One option I tried that you might also want to try is to use the natural wild yeast that collects on grapes. What I did was, I started out with the Welch's grape juice and added sugar, but instead of wine or bread yeast, I crushed up about 20 to 25 grapes until they were like a slush. I did NOT wash the grapes first because washing them would have removed the wild yeast. So then I strained the slush so that only grape juice, hopefully full of wild yeasties, entered the bottle. Then capped it and waited, same as before. You see, I wasn't sure that this would even work. So after a few days, when I loosened the cap, I was rewarded with a woosh! and a slight yeastie fragrance. Yes! My experiment was working. So, I watched the wine's fermentation go to completion, which was a little longer -- maybe 3 or 4 weeks. Decanted it and wow! It tasted very sophisticated, like a good burgundy, and packed a pretty good punch.
My most recent fermentation, which I started only a couple days ago, actually has a mix of wine yeast and wild yeast that was introduced via crushed grape juice. I've also tried some different sugar. It's Mexican -- turbinado, it's called, and it is a pale blonde color with a decided caramel aroma. So I think this might be an interesting combination. Maybe I'll check back in and let you know how it comes out after it's run its course.
Hey Michael thanks for sharing your experience! Looking forward to your updates. Cheers 🍷😁🌱

Hey grapes are washed no matter what at the vineyard
@@ReeeeeToaded Yes, of course. But we're talking about not washing a couple dozen grapes that are going to be added to a half gallon of juice. Not an entire crop. The amount of sediment i might introduce into my juice by adding the juice from a handful of unwashed grapes will be vastly outweighed by the sediment generated by the yeast itself.
There’s no problem with using bread yeast, it has the same effect as wine yeast.
Never knew it was this easy to make excellent informative video thanks 🥰
Now that I've learned how to make wine by watching your tutorial video, I can't stop!!
Your the best, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Wow thank you Turf for simiflying wine making without using different instruments that we may not have on hand
You are very welcome! 😀🌱
Thank You so much! I've been looking for/through homemade recipes for exactly this, your presentation was awesome! I'm going to try this as soon as I can get to the store...😉✌️
Awesome! Glad to help.
Thanks for sharing. Very nice and simple wine making process. I will definitely try it.
Pretty cool. I have been making wine for a few years. I like it simple. 👌
Really great video. All finished the 1st batch this week and will try it after it chills. Thanks
Thanks for such a simple tutorial!
Welcome!
You crushed it! I made it and was amazed!! Thanks.
No thank you!
Feeling accomplished. You make it look so easy gave me the courage to try...and it is! I can already see the yeast is working. Thanks so much!
Did yours have a weird smell to it?
Winos everywhere licking they lips, gonna try definitely real soon.
This is right up your alley bro! 🍷🤙🏾🌱
@@TurfTherapy yep yep
😆
Love the turkey baster feels kinda jailhouse. Definitely gonna try it
That milky part that you see in the bottom of your jug is new yeast. It can be recovered, put in another batch of grape juice, and will make more wine.
When using this method (where the fermentation has stopped), and you use the stuff at the bottom of the jug to start a new batch, test your results (taste test) and see if there is something you really like about that batch…save and mark the settlings, and throw them in the fridge for another batch. Yeast can evolve into a better yeast and really give a nice surprise in the coming batches.
love this guy best wine I've ever tasted and so easy too
On day 10 my self, can’t wait! Thanks for showing the progress it really helps getting an idea of what it should look like after the initial ferment settled down
How many glasses did it take you to feel anything?
@@XxspazzOut10KxX depends how big your glass is haha. The alcohol is higher than your usual wine so a couple glasses
Do you remember yours having a weird smell to it? I’m afraid mines gone bad😂😂
Do u think I can drink mine at 7 days?
@Yvng_YBK-RRR sure but you want to burp it to knock off the extra gas and then put it in the freezer for a few hours then drink it.
I had to come back and watch this one again. Definitely gotta make some. Thanks for sharing
I appreciate that Queen 👸🏾❤️🌱
Excellent video. Thanks for doing this.
Congrats on 15k and thanks bro❤️
I’m late, but always label the containers because you can’t accidentally switch the containers,but you certainly can with the caps 😊
I just saw this I see it was done two years ago. I was going to also talk about the balloon and I use that red star I haven't done this in about five eight years. What I found was a recipe for doing it with frozen grape concentrate it may be cheaper than that juice. It comes in different flavors I told some people about it in the store at every time I came back from the grape juice they were sold out after that. That what I want to try to do is to do it in 5 gal jugs another thing I saw was different was the fact that you didn't melt the yeast I was taught on that one recipe with the frozen concentrate is to melt the yeast with warm water. And then pour it in it looks like sour mash.
Can you tell me how much yeast you need to use? Im not sure how much is in the small packets
I love your energy bro. Love ✨
this looks like the easiest way to make it! thank you
I had a smaller bottle of grape juice and used 1/2 pack of Kroger yeast. It started pretty quick and mine became a mess like your SAF and if I hadn't watched your video I might have thought it was a fail so thanks for this video. I have an apple juice going right now that didn't bubble over so I guess it depends. Fun experimenting and learning.

So with the red star it can be made in a week. That is really cool. I can get some made for the holidays this year and save a lot of money.
Wow guys, im new to all of this, other than watching videos for information and how to. I'm truly happy to have seen this video..Thanks so much for all the info shared together. I'm ready to try this myself now.
Good tips. I just now put my first gallon in the closet to brew. I’m looking forward to trying it in a couple weeks.
Great video. I really liked the closeups of the fermenting process. I would not mix the 2 batches. Let them age at least a month, to be able to taste any differences in the 2 yeasts. Keep on keeping on.
Another thing, please do not just throw away the original juice bottles. Rinse them out, dry them out, and re-use them for storing rice, beans, sugar (for more wine) and other items.
Right on!
I like that re use with the bottles for storage.
That's what you do maybe he does something different that's okay too I hate when people try to pressure other people to do something so f****** sheepish

Thank you for this video I am for sure going to try this my son's graduation is in 3 weeks and I'm definitely going to go with the red star this is really cool I've never made one before but I've always wondered if there was easy way I appreciate the knowledge
So cool thanks for sharing! 😃 This process is easy breezy compared to the old school way. I've seen of doing it.
I've done it with just welch's and baker's yeast. I used a small tube from a fish tank filter to siphon it. It actually wasn't bad.
Yeah, I added the sugar to appeal to a wider variety of palates.
Going to definitely be doing this!!!

When making homemade wine in the past, I would place a balloon on the top instead of capping it. That way when it needed to breathe I could just life a piece of the balloon to let the pressure out....daily routine. Been a long time, so I really appreciate you refreshing my memory. Going to get started as soon as I get to the store
Thanks Turf! Imma give this shot.

So, I made it the exact way you said to do it but with half the sugar. Now, I'll probably receive some heck, but I put 2 sugar substitute sachets in my wine glass before pouring the finished product. I swirled it around to mix. Taste result was so good I almost cried. Next, I am going to do two tablespoons instead of half sugar...wean myself off cane sugar.

I was in college in the early 70's made the same thing on top my dorm frig, we called them nickle balloons back then. The same 12 oz. of sugar to the gallon of grape juice and the nickle balloon fit perfect on the glass bottle necks. One pack of Red Star yeast was always the best choice worked fast and you could cap it in 14 to 16 days and let it age in the bottle around 2 months. I paid my own way through school so no my daddy wasn't paying for my wine making. Depending on how much yeast you used is how dry the wine would be, never tried it with wine making yeast and if you back sweeten it and cap it you can carbonate it. If you try this be sure you put you wine in a tub I have had it burst the bottle carbonating.
Hello, appreciate your comments. I want to make this and I like really dry red wine.. do you use More or less yeast for dryer wine?
@@mstanley97 More yeast and do not back sweeten after fermentation. Must say it has been along time since Pitt State.
@@jlgrizzly7972 😊 thanks!!
OK, TT, I told you I'd provide you with an update, so here goes. I mentioned that I had started a fermentation where I had used a combination of wine and wild yeasts. That batch finished fermentation about 5 or 6 days later. Two days after I started that batch, I started another, but this time I used just straight wine yeast. I was interested if there would be any differences in the flavor profiles. Well, you know what? They were indeed different. Way different.
It's worth noting here that the wine yeast is fairly potent. One package is sufficient to begin fermentation in 5 gallons of grape juice. I bought several packages of Red Star Premier Cuvee yeast, and it has worked very well so far.
The first batch, with the wine and wild yeasts, ended up tasting quite dry but with a slightly sweet aftertaste, almost like a merlot, but not as sweet. It tasted more like a decent dry burgundy. I don't have a hydrometer, so I don't know what the alcohol content was. But if I had to guess, based on the amount I drank of it the second day it had completed its fermentation, I'd guess it is somewhere around 10-12%. I used a bit more than 1/4 teaspoon of wine yeast, the juice from about 20 crushed red grapes, and a bit less than a cup of turbinado (cane) sugar for a 1/2 gallon bottle of wine, minus one cup of juice.
The second batch tastes much different -- more like a sweet merlot. But I think that, as part of the process, some dissolved CO2 remained because it has a distinct carbonated edge to it. That was unexpected. I think it may have happened because of the first couple of days of fermentation. I didn't leave the cap loose. I kept it tight. The juice bottle was rock hard from the CO2 expansion and it let out a really big Whoosh! when I loosened the cap, accompanied by a sudden bubbling up of CO2 suds at the top of the column. After that, I just left the cap slightly loose and it completed fermentation in about 6 days. My theory is that some of the CO2 dissolved into the wine during this high pressure time period and stayed dissolved after pressure was released. Now, this batch seems to have quite a bit more alcohol content than the other batch. Reason why could be two-fold. One) I used a bit less yeast in batch number 1 and 2) I used a bit less sugar in batch number 1. I think that both of these could account for the difference. In this batch, I used 1/2 teaspoon of wine yeast and one cup of turbinado (cane) sugar.
The point of this exercise was I wanted to see how the wild yeast from the grapes would affect the quiality of one batch and to compare the two batches, both in terms of flavor and alcohol content. I have made wine from Welch's grape juice using just crushed grapes to introduce wild yeast into the juice to start the fermentation process, and it came out great. I have done this several times and have not yet had a situation where the wild yeast didn't take hold. The biggest difference I found was that the wild yeast takes longer for the fermentation to run to completion. I have had a couple of situations where it took a few weeks before the fermentation process had finally stopped. Using packaged yeast is definitely much faster and the flavors in the end are more predictable. I believe this is because there are thousands of varieties of wild yeast, probably dozens for grapes alone, so whatever yeast takes hold may have a different flavor profile from the last. This might also account for the increased fermentation times.
To sum things up -- if you're feeling adventurous, try wild yeast. Crush up a bunch of grapes (don't wash them!) and strain the crushed grape juice into the Welch's. If you would just like a reliably good wine that reaches the end of fermentation quickly, then use packaged yeast.
Hi, I'm a longtime fermenter and your assumptions are correct!
Wild yeast will give you an unpredictable end product, as hundreds (maybe thousands) of species take turns during fermentation, this makes for a more complex aftertaste. In addition to presenting several notes of different flavors, even in the same batch. And yes, its fermentation time is slower.
Many of these flavor profiles change greatly in relation to fermentation temperature.
About the capture of wild yeasts, these yeasts are in the air and (according to the literature) are domesticated as much as our dogs and cats. If you leave the gallon open for some time, with the juice in contact with the air, the ferments will already be present in it, it is not necessary to inoculate with fresh grapes (although it is a good way to guarantee a more consistent inoculation).
The big difference between commercial yeasts suitable for beverages from those for bread is that the beverage yeast was reproduced, cloned and selected the strains that gave a cleaner final taste, bringing out the most desired characteristics of the original ingredient. The main thing when comparing the 2 is efficiency. IMHO, the flavor part doesn't make much of a difference in home brews.
The addition of sugar also varies depending on the grape you are using, in some cases being unnecessary. Unsweetened musts can be very dry but playing around with the % of sugar is a really interesting experiment. And also the more sugar, the more alcoholic the result.
The amount of yeast will also radically change the taste.
Try using a type of closure called an airlock, it lets the CO2 out of the reservoir without atmospheric air entering, it's a great way to give a slight improvement in quality.
After fermenting to the desired point you can take your wine, add a little more sugar and put it in a closed bottle, in this second fermentation you will carbonate your drink, transforming it into sparkling wine. The same can be achieved by removing the drink when there is still sugar and placing it in an anaerobic environment.
Very cool your experiments and results, keep fermenting!
@@bioaquarista I got the idea to use wild yeast from some readings on the history of wine making I'd done several years ago. One thing I learned that really impressed me was the way wine was fermented in the Middle East some 2000 years ago. One article l read described
one common method, where they dug these big pits in the ground, then dumped grapes in the pit. They danced and foot-stomped the grapes until the juice was pretty much separated from the skins and sticks. And then they just left the pits alone. So, they were entirely dependent on wild yeast getting the job done. Often, the wine-to-be would get covered by a film of dust and debris since the pits were just open to the air. After a suitable time had passed, they transferred the wine to amphorae or what have you. Now, according to this article, the end product was fairly strong for wine -- in the 12-14% range.
I've recently been using the barely open cap method for control of any atmospheric entry. I think that, as long as fermendation is occuring, with the outward expulsion of CO2, this is a reasonably safe method. I've also used balloons with a pinhole in the top, which also does a good job of keeping out any atmospheric contaminants. But I should just bite the bullet and buy an airlock. Or two.
Thanks for the info on second fermentation. I'll have to give that a try.
Some of my favorite types of wine are sherry and port. I want to learn how to make these wines.
Is it tru that if u ad more suger u get a higher alcohol content
Yes and No. Adding more sugar only gets you more alcohol if the yeast is able to survive and consume the sugar. Most yeast won't survive past 12-14%. So ultimately you just end up with a sweeter wine unless you distill the wine into brandy.
Wow definitely curious.. going to try it.. thank you.
Great job Turf
Great video man! I tripped out a little bit when I realized that I'm also making this on January 13th haha
I appreciate the feedback man💪🏾🌱
Nice job done Mr. Turf. Don't ya love it when the dog barks to mess ya up.. LOL.. Looked tasty to me brother! Stay safe and have a great week!
You got that right! She scared me at first 🤣 Stay safe brother! 🍷🤙🏾🌱
I have done this and it is good.
My friend did this years ago. He use a rubber science stopper for the top…which had a hole through it. He ran small plastic tubing into it close to the top. The tubing went into a bottle of water. The gasses coming off of the wine passed through the tubing to the water container…not allowing anything back into the brew. Easy to do and was great finished.
NICE!! Gotta love closet wine. 😊
You got that right! 🍷🤙🏾🌱
I just tried your technique with grape white grape and apple juices. Didn’t have the oz size you did just the 64oz. The leftovers from each bottle I combined to try as well with half the sugar and yeast. After an hour I see it working so I’m excited to see a week go by.

I found naturally fermented Welch's grape juice in glass bottles in my basement recently from the 70's. They tasted great. It was like a very expensive wine.
Dude, I never knew how easy this could be… I wanted to make homemade wine a looooong time ago, now I’m gonna try this… then maybe I’ll get into making the “real” thing later 👍
Welch's stock just went up Thank you!
😂🤣 No problem! 🍷🌱
I have been making this wine for years. It came from a friend that her family’s been making it for years. I love it so much better than the store-bought stuff.
Can it be aged .I noticed he said put back in the fridge? I m trying this, was just wondering if I could put it in a wine bottle with Cork?
I did this back in the 80's, the one thing different was I put a balloon or a rubber glove in place of the lid, this will act as an expansion tank and keep the gasses in the bottles. I let it set for 8 months, it came out good but should have let it go longer.
I simply open the bottles, add a little sugar, and put an air lock on top. It usually takes about two weeks for fermentation to complete. I don't add any yeast, but rely on the natural yeast that the juice already contains. I also do this with a variety of different types of juice.
Cool. Do you have any content on it?
@Turf Therapy no. But it works just fine, and I don't use any yeast. Except when I'm distilling alcohol. When doing that, I use distillers yeast and cane sugar without yeast nutrients, and the only difference I've noticed is that bread yeast takes about 30 days, and distillers yeast takes about 7 days to accomplish the same results.
Sounds cool. I've been making my own wine for about three years now and I wanted to come up with an approachable recipe for beginners. I like your approach and may give it a try on my next wine video. Thanks for watching 🍷🍇

Yeah, you must! You won't regret it at all 😁🌱
Very interesting. Never made wine before. I will definitively give thisi a try to see how it comes out. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy it! 🍷🤙🏾🌱
Done nicely 😁👍 thanks bro 😃
I need to try it this way
I don't have a wine siphon but what I do is use a section of oxygen tubing and go old school siphon on it holding it just above the lees. Alot of times I rubber band the tubing to a skewer where the tube will be above the lees.
For every quart of juice I use 1 cup of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of yeast and I typically use fleischmann's. So a half gallon of juice I use 1&½ cups sugar and a half teaspoon of yeast because you took out juice for sugar and headspace.
Sounds like a decent recipe. You should make a video on it!
@@TurfTherapy naw I'm not into making videos but your more than welcome to use recipe my friend. And share the tubing trick.
By the way I meant no offense on first comment I was just sharing my exsperiances
None taken! You should consider doing a video. It would be fun 😁 It's been interesting seeing others' input on how they get the same thing done. I wanted to show people the easiest way of doing this with no extra tools needed. But I may give the siphon tip a try on my next video. Thanks again for watching!
@@TurfTherapy 👍
