I'm not crazy about the reds usually but this is light, not thick, if you know what I mean and that slight carbonation is really cool. I'm not a wine drinker so not an expert for sure but if it's tasty (this is) and it gives a buzz, I'm in :toast:
It is so easy, it's stupid. I used to use chemicals to fight the fermentation and certain points but it was a mess. Now, I pour grape juice (from a winery) into 5 gallon jars, but a bung in it that allows pressure to escape but no air to get in and then you wait 30 days. I bought 12 gallons of juice, you drink the cabernet but I also bought a 6 gallon bucket of syrah. Pretty good stuff. The shelf life is limited, so you have to go at it once you expose it to air. I opened this batch up about three weeks ago and it is still great.....I sent Wineguy a bottle a little to late last time and it wasn't good :facepalm: .
There is one more step I do, but it is easy....just siphoning the wine from the original jar to a clean jar when you "harvest". That cleans the product up a bit. For $92 a year, I get 12 gallons of wine. Pretty good deal.
So winery will sell their juice? I might give this a go. It definitely has alcohol in it, I wonder how you find out the %. They should have a gauge for that.
I woke up here at my desk at 2:45. Have a stiff neck now and still buzzin'.
I get my juice from a produce market that makes everyone preorder everything in September. I am sure u can find someone locally that does something similar. The juice is seasonal but u can get supplies year round. Make sure the juice is not from concentrate.
Like I said before, it is really easy. You can make it a lot more complicated but I like what I get as it is.

Vodka again. IT'S THE HOLIDAY SEASON :0008
Gary, I need you to email me wine making for dummies.
Exact process you do. How many jugs do I buy and where, where I buy the juice and how much, how many bottles and corks, the thing you put on the bottles. I need to know the entire process to get on the same exact program you are on. That stuff is really good and packs a serious punch.
