Hooch wine.

So this evening I had timento siphon the brew from the jugs since its just over 3 weeks. I started with half a coffee mug of the red grape and its STOUT! Half the mug got a quick buzz,lol. I then moved to the apple and its pretty tasty as well. I think I may get some of it chilled down and take to my brother in laws tomorrow night. Man this has been fun and I hope to refine my new found past time real soon.

I've made wine like this before for my wife. It tends to be sweet using bread yeast which is what she wanted. The yeast will die off when the alcohol gets high enough to kill it but there is still sugar remaining. A champagne yeast would raise the alcohol and end up drier fermenting all the sugar out. I used a gallon carboy and an airlock because I homebrew beer and had it, but your way works just as good.

It.was most definitely sweet. Im not surenif i want it to have any higher alcohol content. Two of my friends and i tore up a half gallon of it this week and BOY did it hit quick. Im not much of a wine drinker, but if there is ever a shortage of miller I have a back up plan. I think my next adventure will be to make some Dewberry wine from the berries I picked this spring around our hay pasture.

Haven’t tried making wine yet, but I’ve gotten back into beer home brewing this past week after a 5 year hiatus. I’ve got 5 gal of revolver blood and honey clone bubbling in my office!

I lost be airlock and carboy from my beer kit and tried to improvise last week. I'm pretty sure I made more mistakes as well becouse the vertical explosion had a blast diameter of 30'. I will have to repaint part of the ceiling. Live and learn

Did this in my high school days in the early 70’’s. We used unsweetened apple juice. Good times, great parties.....at least the ones I remember. Lol.

Enjoying my first glass now. Went quicker than I thought so I left it sitting for a few extra days. Siphoned into a second car boy to let it settle out for another few days before I bottle it. Putting in a campden tablet to avoid an explosion... it’s really good I used tart cherry and red grape. Will be adding wine tannin next time.... and yes, it’s bone dry.

Of all the juices, which one tastes better with just sugar and yeast?

both the grape and white grape/apple have a good flavor, sweet and not dry at all.
