Pick grapes on July 4th. Smash them and put in a crock, cover with a towel so bugs don’t get in. Don’t fill crock all the way because juice will settle and pulp will rise and float, causing overall level to rise and overflow.
Two weeks later, gently poke a hole down the side of the crock, through the pulp with a small dowel or something similar. Slide tygon tubing (1/4” or so) to the bottom of the crock and siphon through cheese clothe into a bucket. Restrain if needed. This is the hardest part. it takes time to get the hang of it. Sometimes the pulp may collapse, seeds clog the siphon etc.
Mix:
1 part juice:2 parts WELLwater.
2 1/2 lbs sugar for every gallon of water/juice mixture. Mix well until sugar is dissolved in a bucket.
Example: 1 gal juice/2gal water/7 1/2 lbs sugar. This will make it fairly sweet. If u want it drier, do about 2lbs sugar.
Put in a carboy with one of those P-trap plugs. Should be ready around November in time for deer season!
Good luck,

You ever make it out of pears on a prickly pear. That stuff would get your attention.

We made 40 gallons one time. 5 gal water bottles and balloons. 5lb sugar and half a bottle of grapes. Once the balloons burst or went down added another 5 lbs sugar and let ferment again. Siphon off and let stand in cool dark place until cloudy is gone and siphon off the clear. You never want to drink too much and get sick or you will puke purple for three days. Ask my son and his little running buddy. They got into our stash and missed 2 days of school. 30 years ago and he still don't like wine to this day.
