Old School Home Made Wine:
Ingredients: 1 gallon jug with screw on lid. 3/4 to 1 gallon 100% grape juice. 3 cups sugar. 3, 7 gram packets of Fleishman's yeast. (2 rounded tbsp)
Directions: 1. Hydrate and proof yeast. (directions are on yeast packets) 2. Dissolve 3 cups of sugar into 2 cups boiling water. 3. While yeast is hydrating and the sugar is dissolving, poor juice into gallon container. Leave a 1"- 3" void at the top of the jug to allow for gas build up. 4. Once yeast is hydrated and proofed and sugar is completely dissolved add all to the juice in the jug. 5. Place lid tightly on jug and shake 10-20 times. 6. Loosen lid to let gases out. 7. Re-tighten lid. But this time tighten just enough to let air out but not in. 8. Let ferment 3-10 days. Yields about 10-30% alcohol by volume. (20-40 proof)
NOTES: Every now and then stir mixture to allow oxygen to be introduced into the mixture. Now repeat step 7.
This is my own personal recipe. Through trial and error this I find is the best method to use and it allows for the fastest cook time (ferments) without using wine yeast.
It is best to wait the full 10 days. But it can be consumed after 72hrs. If need be.
Enjoy,
Ciao, Frankie M
