Hello everyone, on this hot and muggy, North Florida night. I hope all is well with you and your household. I hope you try to see the beautiful stars in the sky if you can see them. Our moon is beautiful tonight as it peeks from underneath the clouds. As hot as it is, I believe that we will be seeing a severe storm, sometime in the late evening or early, wee morning hours.
As I sit here finishing off my homemade grape wine, I thought that I would spend about 40 seconds, starting out with an apple wine that does take 4 weeks to be finished brewing. So I thought that I would let you in on my secret! This wine recipe does come from a friend of mine on YouTube and he goes under Paw Paw on YouTube, so he gets all the credit for this amazing, wine crafting idea. Look him up, please. He will make you laugh! www.youtube.com/user/DoingItCheap/videos
Ok, so now on to this short little recipe. Buy a jug of 100% juice, any cheap juice will do, as long as it says 100% juice made from concentrate is on all the jugs also. I get mine from Aldi’s or Save-A-Lot.
All the rest of the ingredients are these two things. 1/2 tsp. yeast ( those little 3 strip packets) that you use for bread making will do just fine.
The last item is 1 1/2 c. sugar.
So now we begin. Pour out 2 cups of the juice and drink it or save it. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of white sugar and put your 1/2 tsp. of yeast with it. Use a funnel to pour the sugar mixture into the jug of juice.
Now you put the lid on and shake like crazy for a little bit. Now, this last step is the most important step of all! LOOSEN the CAP on the jug and store in a cool and dark place for a month. Under the sink will do.
If you do not keep the cap loose then the wine will explode all over everything! After the month is up, then you use a hose to siphon off the top-most part of the wine. Leave the dregs in the bottom of the jug to throw away. To siphon if, you don’t know how as I did not know how myself. You keep the wine jug high and the decanter bottle low so the flow will be a strong and steady flow. You now have made wine! Enjoy or let it keep sitting around as it keeps getting better with age.
Thank you for visiting my little blog. Please stay a while and read more while you are here and please do share so my little blog will grow. I post on Tue-Thur and Saturdays. Connie B.
