Beginners Tutorial On Homemade Wine by PawPaw Guaranteed Results

[@Alwis-Haph-Rytte]

Good video Paw Paw. My Dad taught me how to make wine 50+ years ago. Always in a glass 5 gallon bottle with a cork with a hose in it running to a mason jar 3/4 full of water and all covered in a dark warm spot with a towel over it to keep the light out. LOL Now I'll do some reminiscing of my childhood up to my 20's thanks to you. You're spot on with your method, if people follow your instructions, they wont go wrong. My Dad's favorite wine to make was dandelion, then honey. We'd pick the flower tops in a large paper grocery bag full, boil them in water for the juice to make 4 gallons of hot sterile juice, 10 lbs of sugar, 2lbs of raisins, 1 orange cut up and 1/4 cake of yeast or 1 packet. He would simmer the dandelions for 20 minutes with enough hot water to make a thick soup you could stir while simmering. When it was done simmering he would cover and let it set to cool down so it was cool enough to handle. Rinse the jug out with hot water and then strain the juice off the dandelions, pitch them out, done with the flowers (He may have added more hot water to them and drained to make the 4+ gallon total).Then put everything except the yeast in the jug. he would stir it up good and put it in it's dark place, then add hot water to bring it up to about 4 1/2 gallons. He always held the liquid down about 8-10 inches from the top so any foam wouldn't plug the tube. By adding the hot water last it rinsed off the top. He would let that sit over night covered with a heavy bath towel or small blanket. to make sure it was cool enough to add the yeast, cork it and tube in the water jar and covered up. Rule was leave it covered and never let the jar run out of water. He never had a bad batch. I broke that 5 gallon jug a couple years ago. It broke my heart. But I found another one at a yard sale, LOL To bad dandelions don't grow down here where I live. I wrote the recipe the best I remember. I think I'll be making some honey apple. It's like your recipes on sugar, you just replace 1/2 the sugar with equal amounts of pure honey, not the cheaper fake stuff. and the liquid is apple cider or juice. But I'm gonna try your smaller amount method, 5 gallons seams to weigh a lot more these days, LOL Honey wine uses honey instead of sugar and up to pound of raisins for every gallon. I always add raisins cause Dad did, LOL Here's an old trick I learned to clear up cloudy wine from an old book at the library. I had a batch that settled but wouldn't clear and I waited and waited. So I went to the library years ago before computers were in everybody's house. In this book it stated that egg whites will clear up cloudy wine 3-4 per gallon. So I siphoned off about a quart to mix the 11 egg whites with a blender on low pulses. I wanted a mix, not foam. I only used half of the wine I siphoned to blend it with. Poured it back in with the 5 gal, jug of cloudy wine, the use the rest of the siphoned wine to rinse the blender container and pour back with the rest. I used a clean plastic rod to give it a little stir. I figured if the egg whites will clear it, then they should make it all settle. I corked it back up with hose in the water. It bubbled just a little the 1st day. WOW. in a week it was crystal clear and 2nd best wine I ever made. It was honey apple wine made from cider. The best I ever made was elderberry. The worst was black cherry, the juice was to weak and not enough sugar. I use a brinx meter now to get my sweetness just how I like it. Yeah I like sweet wine too. Not that sour swill they sell in the stores as wine, yuck. I usually add enough sugar to get between 22-24% on the brinx meter. Paw Paws recipe brings it up to 26%, that's 2% increase was only a 1/4 cup more of sugar from the amount I used. So 1 1/4 cups of sugar with 1 1/2 quart of juice that is at 10% on brinx will yeild about 24% on brinx. If you only use 1 cup sugar with the juice it will be only 17%, that is to low. You need at least 18%. The lowest amount of sugar I would ever do with Paw Paws recipe is 1 1/8 cups of sugar to 1 1/2 quarts of juice. I'm only writing about this to help somebody that doesn't like there wine sweet. Be careful on trying to reduce the sugar to much. Do it Paw Paws way. If it's to sweet, only cut it a 1/4 cup and make another batch. Wine yeast will convert more sugar to alcohol and make it a little less sweet than using baking yeast. Paw Paws recipe is fool proof. Some will have troubles with the cork method because they didn't clean it after used, didn't store it in a clean manner, and didn't sterilize it with boiling water. And maybe had dirty hands and contaminated the batch from start or during the fermentation. They really need to follow your instructions. If they could make wine centuries ago in a crock with a cloth tied over the top, it's not that hard. Just leave it alone. Kinda like rice, don't touch or stir it while it simmers on low for 15 min. Leave it be or you will mess it up. I did an edit to change the sugar amounts on the 5 gal., it was 10lbs not 5. And I added the brinx precentages just encase anybody stumbles across one. I've had some moments when I've lost count on how much sugar I put in. The brinx meter saves me, LOL I just started 2 apple bottles, 2 apple honey, 1 cranberry, 1 pomegranate/plum and a mix of the 4 juices. I'm also testing rapid yeast against regular yeast. So in 4-6 weeks I might have a hangover from research, LOL.

[@rickerhart907]

As you are aware, there is always somebody out there that can do it cheaper, better, faster. Your tutorials are so simple and fun to listen to

[@THEDUCKMAN52]

Been making this pretty regularly now and I have to say it's been a big hit. I've tried all sorts of variations in juice and sugar amounts and would say that cran-raspberry at about 1.5 cups of sugar is a family favorite. In fact it was so good I got a special request to make a case for my brothers wedding. Thank you for your videos and know that I'll keep sipping in honor of PawPaw. Cheers

[@dangordon7679]

That’s great! I’m going to be making my first ever batch over the next few weeks. Will be using Turbo Yeast for increased ABV%. Then I should have strong wine that can be mixed with lemonade, sparkling water etc. May make different flavours with sloe berries and blackberries, as they are currently in season and growing wild. Congratulations to your Brother and his Wife. 😁🙏🏼

[@Rrrakanishu]

Some people just ain’t wired into them ole country ways pawpaw. They make it too complicated. I appreciate the videos. Cheers to good health. My grandma used to make the same wine but I couldn’t remember how she did it until I saw your original video. She always went with the ole saying, “If it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it”. Thank you pawpaw for bringing back an old tradition.

[@juliaantos4605]

I’ve made about 8 containers of this wine and I have to say that it’s pretty darn good. The first 3 I put 1 1/2 cups of sugar with the yeast and it bubbled for about 2 and a half weeks and then I waited another week and a half and tasted it. I was surprised of how strong it was. The next 5 I used only 1 cup of sugar and it was perfect for my husband and I. We drink wine often and this stuff is better then buying it at the store! Omg! No headaches and taste great! Thanks paw paw for the recipe. I already have my twin sister hooked on it!

[@brianshull2000]

It's those city slickers or millennial generation that don't drink from a garden hose or think it's disgusting to drink from a hose. Your version of making wine is quick and easy for those that don't have or can't afford the so-called professional wine making equipment. Keep sharing these great wine making videos.

[@saraw6710]

Don’t stop making these vids!! I don’t have netflix and this is so much better!!!! Just started trying a bottle of juice it’s bubbly away as I write this!! I found a warm place in Canada!!!!!😂

[@FusionDeveloper]

I WAS originally a little annoyed that you reply to some peoples comments, asking them to watch all your videos for all the answers, but now that I am watching all your videos, I agree with you 100%. You make fantastic videos. Thank you so much for your contributions.

[@DoingItCheap]

If I can see you are a subscriber then I try my best to answer your questions. If I can't I refer folks to my playlist because they are usually a first time viewer and need to see more of the process.

[@johnroach1717]

I am making 15 gallons of your wine now, I have been doing this for about 3 years now, yes I started small. My friends and family love it. I live beside a winery and our house company always drinks my wine before they drink the winery's wine beside me. It is good stuff. I actually bottle it and cork it and have it on hand year-round. I use 5-gallon carboys and simple air-locks. I use warm water and some clorox to sanitize my containers before use and it is awesome wine without the preservatives and it keeps at least 3 years bottled so not sure why you need all the extra chemicals/preservatives that wineries use. Thank You for posting your videos. I will warm the first gallon, a 1/2 gallon at a time and dissolve my sugar in those and pour it in my carboys maybe heating one more 1/2 gallon to give me a temp of about 78 to 80 degrees to add my bread yeast and it is perfection by not being perfect lol. I have tried so-called Wine Yeast and Bread Yeast and I can not tell a difference so I just use bread yeast for the same result.

[@mhagan8475]

that water hose, stick and measuring can was funny to me sir...I like what you are doing and your humor. God bless and keep doing what you do!!!

[@heathbarker3004]

I never made wine before until I started watching your videos. Now I'm a professional at making great wine. Better than store bought. Thanks PawPaw. All stores have wine making kits. Juice, yeast, and sugar. That's all.

[@joeazores]

It's amazing the time and the patience you put for all of us, thank you

[@lancehiggins828]

Pawpaw, you remind me of my own papa, he passed 10 years ago, and your voice is the same. Thank you for all your southern help

[@darkhoursofday6250]

I just sampled my first bottle of wine... DAMN! PawPaw is on the right track. I'm a stickler for details and the wine I made (exactly as he suggests) tasted sweet and great and had about double the alcohol content of store bought wine (I actually had it tested). I love it and will always do this from now on! Thanks!

[@jefferywilson1840]

Paw Paw your recipe works,Better then store bought,Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@DoingItCheap]

You are so welcome

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

I just thank God i found you before i started my first Batch. Cause your the only One with confidence in there recipe and process . THANK YOU

[@joanbrancato307]

You are such a good teacher. Don't let the turkeys get you down.

[@stevenengler2387]

Not only have you taught me much, but makes me smile, laugh, and reminds me talking and relaxing with some uncle's n aunt's of mine. Great information, great feel good feelings and laughs. Thanks again

[@td-ce9fn]

I love you Paw Paw, and I'm getting schooled by watching your videos.. I just decided to look up how to make homemade wine today. Thank thank the good lord, that I clicked on your video.. Your the best.. Sandi from Inman South Carolina..

[@alanjones1759]

Made wine for years and it was such a faf i gave up 10 years ago i purchased some wine yeast the other day with a view to get back into it, now i have found your videos i will be trying it within the next couple of days, keep it up great work. Thanks

[@Nagap08]

. Thanks 🙏 for your videos I appreciate the teaching and definitely your great sense of humor. A friend from Norfolk Virginia USA

[@thefreedomadvocate6579]

Hi PawPaw! I come from a long line of wine makers and just made my first batch of Apple Jack. I think I'm going to try carrying on the tradition of making homemade wine now. Your videos are great and you're helping carry on the tradition. Keep up the good work. Btw, you remind me of my Pa, God rest his soul.

[@Capellaism]

My brother is in to wine making big time. I came across your simple wine making and I am going to make me a batch tonight so I can show off like he does love you pawpaw, you sound like a ton of fun

[@bobbiebrown1097]

Hi Pawpaw, After watching many of your vdeos and a few of other people's videos on making wine I decided to try your method cause I also like doing it cheap. I went to Aldi's for my 100%juice ( grape and apple) and followed your instructions. Waited a month and then racked it once through a fine mesh strainer. Chilled and tasted. OMG, delicious. I could not check the alcohol content but I can tell you it has plenty enough for me. The grape is excellent, the apple still has 2 more weeks. I can't wait to try other juices. Thanks for all your information and from one vet to another, thank you for your service.

[@Metalstr8jacket]

First Paw Paw recipe worked just fine, My Mother even said it is " Superb" I'm drinking it at the moment! I love your personality! You are one Awesome guy! Cheers! Thank you!

[@DoingItCheap]

Thank YOU for watching my videos !!

[@Metalstr8jacket]

I'll Stay watching! I love your work! I think my Mom has a crush on ya! Thank you again for taking the time to make your videos.

[@FusionDeveloper]

PLEASE DO NOT LET PEOPLE TALK YOU OUT OF TRYING THIS. It is a LOT of fun and tastes fantastic. I prefer the price of, the taste of and the success rate of Great Value brand juices. Win/Win/Win. If it tastes/smells bad, it isn't ready or you found out that fermenting that specific juice is not to your liking.

[@jeffsandler3339]

I watch all your videos paw paw and this one reminded me to rack the 5 gallons of welch's white made from concentrate batch i had put together 1 month 2 the day .. thanks for reminding me. I did use dry wine yeast but my first batches i used bakers yeast and it was good. I just picked up some wine makers dry yeast cause i like dry wine WOW .. I do use your basic recipe and it works. Great video everyone... BY ....im having some now. i never talk this much . thanks paw paw...

[@DoingItCheap]

Thanks Jeffrey !

[@victoriaadams9651]

PAW PAW You have opened a whole new world for me, and it is CHEAP and FUN FUN FUN!!!!! Haven't made a bad batch yet. I haven't looked at the juice isle the same since!! Thank you!

[@porkfied]

I know same here,I look at the juice and think about the wine I could make.This is a fun hobby and I am getting addicted to it.

[@bigbassmann]

I don't know why people have such a hard time following instructions. I had never made wine before until I saw your videos, followed your instructions and made a bottle using white cranberry/strawberry juice and another bottle using apple juice. Started both a few days before Christmas and it took about 5 weeks before they were done, think it was mainly due to the cold weather we had during that time but they both turned out perfect. I just finished drinking the last of it tonight and I have to tell you, they were both good. I now have a bottle of grape, a bottle of apple, a bottle of white cranberry/strawberry and a bottle of white cranberry/peach going. Can't wait until they are done. I never really drank wine that much but after making my own following your recipe I drink a small glass every night just before bedtime, seems to help me sleep better. :)

[@salimacarter5061]

Hey PawPaw!!! This is the EASIEST AND FASTEST FOOL PROOF method I've ever seen on KZbin. You have provided the basic recipe, now one can play with it as they may. I won't start experimenting until my batch is completed. I made my first batch right along with you as you gave instructions. I will definitely let you know how it turns out in a month.Thanks so much!!!

[@seanburns5937]

Good job paw paw! Keep it simple like you do!🥳People think if "it's not expensive" or "that's to simple" then omg it can't work! You tell us straight like a real AMERICAN COUNTRY BOY💥😎🤙

[@DoingItCheap]

Thank you Sean ! and welcome to the channel !

[@Mama420Redneck]

Well, my first batch of wine has stopped bubbling... It will be ready in a week...just in time for us to spend our first night in our new home! The perfect way to celebrate! And we'll be tasting it Live! I can't wait!! Thank you again for sharing some of your amazing wisdom!

[@Mama420Redneck]

The pomegranate wine turned out amazing!! So did the others! Thank you again for sharing your wisdom!!

[@rick6653]

Thanks Paw Paw. That’s what I called my grandfather. I like the simplicity of your wine recipe. Started my first batch 2 days ago. Yes I had to look today. I know you said done look but I had too and it’s bubbling, so I can relax and just wait out the 4 weeks. To think I could have bought a wine making kit for $100 but instead it turns out to be just a measuring cup, measuring spoon and funnel. Most people already have these items in their kitchen. Thanks again, cause I like doing cheap.

[@wattamutt]

Ta hell with the experts...i like your style. Its the same way my father used to do it. He never had anything other then cheesecloth, grapes from our yard, yeast, water, and sugar and a big glass jar. Im subbing because yours is the only video where im not afraid to try it. And i dont have to go on Amazon and buy 200 bucks worth of "stuff"

[@DoingItCheap]

Right on

[@babavee100]

Dear Paw Paw (i have subscribed btw) I have always wanted to make my own wine, but couldn't be bothered with all of the paraphenalia, nor could afford it. I live in France and the wine used to be cheap….I am inspired and will be starting my wine, to your recipe, tomorrow.. I love you ….Vee x

[@leighco9]

Started Great Value grape wine yesterday w/3/8 tsp. yeast, and today Great Value white grape/peach juice using 1/2 tsp yeast. Looking forward to taste the results Thanks for the videos.

[@Carlie_flower]

Thanks for pointing me to this video, you're awesome. I love your videos! You're the Pawpaw this world needs.

[@tracymessineo4738]

My son (over 21) brought home some peach nector from the Dollar Tree and we mixed with apple juice. It took a little longer to stop bubbling but tasted really good. We are currently making blueberry wine and grapefruit wine. We love your recipe.

[@jimobetz658]

Paw Paw i have made your recipe in bigger batches and i have had many compliments on it .......... I dont drink but i really enjoy making the wine for other people to enjoy when i have bbqs

[@alexlarsen6413]

He hee..this is awesome for beginners!! Many other channels just scare people away from even making their first brew. Sanitization? Why when everything is clean in the jug it comes in? And this is exactly how my grandpa taught me to make my first wines, ciders...etc. I even managed to make a cider half by accident because I forgot about it, lol! And it didn't turn into vinegar because the alcohol content was too low to activate acetobacter (around 5.5%), plus it still had enough CO2 to keep the oxygen out. Now that I'm into mead and larger quantities, I do sanitize equipment but I still don't obsess over it. I use an airlock but honestly, mostly for entertainment value. At any rate, all of this only proves that old saying: wine or mead want to make themselves, we just need to get the heck out of the way! :)

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

Over 30 years of mead making under my belt, branched out into fruit wines and ciders over time. I couldn’t agree more. Patience is the most important ingredient in wine/mead/cider making. No need to over-think. Sanitising stacks the odds in your favour to avoid infection but if the recipient and must are already clean and near-sterile, no need to complicate matters. When re-using equipment, sanitising becomes more important to avoid accidentally making vinegar and to avoid getting mould in your ferment. Shutting oxygen out of your fermenter after the initial stage that actually needs it is important as well for the exact same reason. What kills me is people who rack their product over and over and over again. For chrissakes, leave it be… let that yeast fall out. Why give yourself extra work and lose extra product if you don’t need to? I do use yeast nutrient in a lot of my recipes because it does help with flavour and avoids stalled fermentation but have a heavy preference for keeping things as hands off as possible. It’s not hard at all to make mead, fruit wine or cider. It’s pretty darn hard to mess up. It can be incredibly cheap. As long as you give it time. Know your flavours, be patient, and if patience isn’t your thing, stagger your batches in order to give yourself something to do on a regular basis. I tend to start a small batch each week to every fortnight. Keeps my family and friends in drinks that are roughly 6 months to a year old now. Every now and again I make a larger batch for special occasions and I make them well in advance. Most of my recipes are very simple even when I add extra steps such as oaking, adding herbs, spices or whole fruit either in primary or secondary. It’s what you might call ‘guerilla-brewing’: get in, add something/take something out, get out’… and forget about it for a while. Happy brewing!

[@peggymowery7633]

Thank you paw paw I've made your wine recipe and it was absolutely perfect, I just had to watch your video again..

[@DoingItCheap]

You are so welcome!

[@trisbaker363]

I love Paw Paw, started my first wine yesterday.

[@janeylimke4311]

PawPaw, we were on a mission to learn how to make elderberry wine (we grow our own elderberries) when we discovered you and fell in love with your videos! Oh my goodness we just finished our first four batches...elderberry, grape-elderberry, apple-grape-elderberry (inspired by my signature jelly recipe!), and just a plain apple. Plain elderberry tastes similar to my favorite pinot noir, but our absolute favorite is grape-elderberry, which was a little sweeter. We tasted them yesterday, bottled up and started our next TEN BATCHES!! This time experimenting with some elderflowers in some. Will let you know how it goes...we'd love to share with you! ❤️

[@DoingItCheap]

You are too kind. Thank you !

[@judygude]

The sunny grapes and Italian music at the beginning are just beautiful! Thanks Paw Paw! I’m trying this now. ❤️🍇

You are so welcome!

[@Peg-ee5ei]

I followed your recipe very successfully a few years ago. I have decided I want to do it again. This video makes a terrific "refresher course". Thanks, Paw Paw! 👍💗👍💗👍💗👍💗👍 P.S. I have been thinking about how much I love making this recipe with Cran Raspberry juice. That was my favorite juice to use.

[@DoingItCheap]

You are most welcome

[@perreaultal]

Hey, Paw Paw, I saw your video a while ago and decided to make your recipe using red grape juice. It came out great!! Thanks for doing it cheap and keeping it simple.

[@perreaultal]

AND...this was after giving up all the fancy winemaking gear years ago! Who knew it was this easy and so good!

[@oioioi13]

Pawpaw, my white grape/peach is ready today and it is absolutely delicious. First time trying this and it came out perfect. Thank you, sir!!

[@williamkent7371]

I've made several batches and it's good. Try wrapping it in a towel. It seems to help keep it a more consistent temperature. Thanks for the recipe.

[@michaelmessick2407]

Juicy juice strawberry watermelon is what I used ! It was extremely fruity so I split it 50/50 ! Added 1 1/2 cup of sugar 1/4 teaspoon of bakers yeast ! Shook it up good Added 1 16oz bottled water to each jug ! Put in the cabinet on the back porch and 4 weeks later I had necker from heaven ! Lawd it was so good I'mma do it again ! Thanks pawpaw ! I'm doin it cheap ! The juice was buy one get one free $3.29 ! 4 bottles total finished and little taste lol ! Thanks man ! You rock !

[@colemanepps1]

Thank you Paw Paw. This worked great for me and the wine was delicious. I’m making two more bottles this weekend!

[@michaeljovan9957]

Thanks, Paw, Paw This was Awesome!! will try!

[@CandDproductions1]

I love this method and white grape peach is my go to! Just made 10 quarts , red grape, white grape, white grape w/peach and made a white grape with honey instead of sugar, what’s that ever tasty 😋

[@makeminefreedom]

I'm a veteran. I learned how to follow instructions long ago. All anyone has to do is follow your instructions and they will make a perfect wine. I made the two containers of frozen grape concentrate and I loved it. I have another batch bubbling on my water heater now. I am going to try frozen apple concentrate next. If I want the same sweetness should I still use the full 3 1/2 cups of sugar or should I use less? Thank you for taking the time to make these videos I really appreciate it.

[@DoingItCheap]

I think the grape is naturally sweeter than apple. I have steered away from the concentrate and gone to the two quart bottles. Making three gives you four (from the two cups you pour out of the first three).

[@michaelolson419]

Hey Paw Paw, been making beer and wine for years. Now I do it your way. Making wine should be easy. You have taken all the work out of it and made it fun again.

[@DoingItCheap]

Rock on!

[@hormazdirani1431]

Thank you sir for your warmth and for sharing your knowledge with us new bees. The finer points about wine clarity are some observations which will help us decide when the wine is really ready to drink. Good health to you sir !

[@wolfmeisterschmid6269]

Tried it several times, with different type juices, and so far they all been good. Had one partial failure (low alcohol content) but I believe that was just the yeast. Now have several people wanting me to make them some! (LOL). Thank you for sharing how to do this.

[@nancyhowell8697]

This work great. I made juice ice cubes with what was poured off. Going to start another batch tomorrow. After looking up the recipe again I think I only used a 1/4 tsp of yeast. It still worked. I will adjust it this time. Thanks a bunch.

[@shweetpotato]

Ok, well I added the sugar and yeast to 1 1/2 quarts.. set the lid on loose so it moves when I squeeze, stuck the durn thing in my dark pantry at the back and wrote on my calendar to check on it 30 days from now.. then I'm gonna drink it :D thanks Paw Paw

[@lainnislame]

hey pawpaw! I tried your recipe and I have 4 liters in my closet, tried it with 2 things of 1 liter of grape juice and 2 things of 1 liter of apple, can’t wait for it to be finished! thanks so much for this :)

[@verlindasmith7584]

Omg, I love you. You make me think so much of my Pawpaw! 😂 You crack me up. I have made my first batch of wine following your instructions. It's not bad at all! A little bitter, but still yummy. I'm having a glass while the baby naps! ...."had to use it as a marinade on chicken." 🤣

[@lovinglisa1974]

3 weeks and 5 days ago we made 4 different flavors and today we open them for the 4th and they all taste amazing. One question I know you have said something before about them being clear but grape isnt clear it's not posed to be tho right? Thank you so much

[@DoingItCheap]

I should have said TRANSLUCENT. Of course it wouldn't be clear like water.

[@panthason]

Wanna also say thank ya for showing us the easy way i appreciate it.

[@Twindadx2_]

Great video's! Keep them up. Got my first batch fermenting now

[@mrchildgrownold3852]

I've got a batch going right now, my first batch using your recipe was awesome. Yes it will get a fellow buzzed

[@johntheochari742]

John.T here from Sydney Australia tried your cheap homemade wine 3-4 yrs ago worked first time no problems got about 16-18 % alcohol using normal bread yeast. Yes it was good. Also made your peculiar wine and mead. Keep up the good work.

Glad you like them!

[@kiranaiyar6720]

Just made my first batch. I followed your instructions and set a reminder for one month and I will check it then. I'm wondering if in the process of the wine being created, will there be any sort if smell from the gases escaping the top of the bottle? Thank you, and I will hopefully update you with positive results in a month.

[@johnvanderslice7966]

Made my 1st batch in 2001. Really enjoy your videos. I always hit the like button once cause they don't let me hit it then times!

[@OkiePiperJon]

I think I've watched all your videos on making wine. I will have to give it a try!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@WillieJu]

Hey PawPaw. Love your wine making videos. I have found that time is the best cook - I made some grape juice wine with your recipe and left it 4 weeks. Then I racked it into other bottles and left it for 2 more months. It turned our perfect, clear, and tastes a lot better than the ones I only waited 3 week. OK it is summer here so temps gets high.

I made a batch of wine with welches grape juice. I let it sit for a month ( I just wanted to make sure) then I took it out and tasted it, I loved it and I am not a wine drinker. I gave some to my son and he said " That's good...that's REAL good. Needles to say it did not last long. going to have to make some more. I just wanted to thank you for sharing you're recipe.

I started my first batch on the 15th at my house but I can't help it I have to peek in and look at it bubbling...so I went over my mothers and made 2 more... even taught my little nephew how to make it ... My mama came in and saw us shaking the bottles up and thought we had lost our minds lol ...but it was sure fun teaching him how to make it. Thanks again PawPaw!!!

I tried it tonight! Can’t wait to try it. I made red grape and white grape to start. Followed it exactly. With the left over I mixed it.

[@terriyakesh4862]

Oh boy was it great! My family is from Portugal and we were wine makers. Sorry they didn’t teach me but Paw Paw did. My mom loved it. What a kick!

[@jihadsquirrel5326]

Thank you PawPaw!

I don't have a hydrometer but I am not gonna doubt my viewers.

@@DoingItCheap fair nuff! i,ll report back i ordered one. talk to you in 30 days...

[@jihadsquirrel5326]

@@DoingItCheap well.......PawPaw it worked. it spent 2 weeks at 75 to 80 degrees F, inside my pantry in arizona. if i had to judge the abv by taste it would be 20abv range. its easy it works. im a big guy and i feel a buzz. if may recommend try the apple juice, it make one hell of an apple cider!

[@theministerscorner8410]

Just started my first batch pawpaw, followed your directions completely. 4 weeks for the test

[@DoingItCheap]

Just make sure the bubbling is completed or you will be giving an offering to the white porcelain god instead of our Savior !

[@brownyes6211]

I have been making that for years, and you are right on Q Thanks.

[@genebaker2795]

Hi PawPaw. The White Grape Peach is my favorite. I have been using your recipe on that juice for almost a year. You're gonna love it

[@DoingItCheap]

Gene, send your address to me again so I can replace the two wine glasses USPS broke ! I lost it. So sorry !! [e-mail]

[@cynthiacriniti4660]

Hello Paw Paw , love your videos, made my first batch of wine 2 days ago but no bubbles. You think my yeast is bad or should I wait a little?

[@chriskochinsky1102]

Paw Paw, my daughter and I are going to try this, this weekend. We are going to try with 3 different juices and also Paw Paw's Most Peculiar wine. I will post bsck in a month about our Big Success! Thank you for the tutorial, and for keeping it simple (and cheap).

[@DoingItCheap]

If you try three of the same kind, you have enough for a fourth batch !! Think about it.

[@chriskochinsky1102]

@@DoingItCheap I am star-struck! Thanks for the reply! I am thinking I should take your advice - that will kick up the cheapness! I LOVE doing it cheap!

[@joebaker5488]
