Excellent video, my vanilla is tuning out to be a winner it smells delicious.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Awesome John. How old Is it now?

[@johnc8112]

@@HowToDoneRight started it July 23, 2022 made 1,450 ml of vanilla the colour is so rich. I also made 750 ml of lemomcello excellent colour, first time making both of them.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Sounds awesome. 👍👍

[@firstlast-xs2dn]

Thanks for all the love and effort you put in every wine you make.God bless you and yours.Remo

Thanks so much and I try. Good Bless you as well. 👍👍♥️♥️🍷🍷

[@tinaanderson5423]

Have you ever made dandelion wine? I thought I saw a video of yours on it and now I can't find it. I have watched most of your videos on wine and I am learning so much. It's my new favorite hobby. 😍 I love your channel. It took 6 months for this dandelion wine to be done. I learned some dos and don't. LOL. Finally finished when I used your method for filtering. I'm getting ready to start some Blueberry and some peach. This time it won't take so long. Going to use your method from the start for these 2.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thanks so much for watching the channel. It is a great hobby. Blueberry and peach are great wines to make. I have not made dandelion wine yet but it's on my list. It's something about taking fruit and turning into wine that is so cool. 🍷🍷😁😁👍👍♥️♥️

[@tinaanderson5423]

@@HowToDoneRight I can't wait for you to try dandelion wine. It is definitely laborsome. I don't know if I will do it again unless I get some requests for it next spring. Lots of work with those little petals.😏😏 it does taste good though.

[@johnrolavs6794]

Next time boil the bentonite for a few minutes and let it cool. Alot easier then stirring👍

[@HowToDoneRight]

👍👍

[@joshhyma842]

Hello again, Do you use a wine label maker? I think it's called thermoplastic or something? If so what machine do you recommend or do you have an amazon link, so many options and mixed reviews. Wouldn't mind labelling some for up coming Christmas gifts etc.

[@HowToDoneRight]

No experience with label makers. I've bought these for a wedding just not name personalized. amzn.to/3Ba03SH

[@dreams2933]

The shot glass you added, what was that? I didn’t find you mentioned what that is

[@HowToDoneRight]

That was mint extract. To make it a little more minty. 👍👍

[@stalozaidimukompasas]

Hey there! I am glad I have found you! All is well, but I have one question. - In the first part - you mention that you stir wine in the primary stage every day. My question - have you tried not to stir it every day? If you did - what was the difference? And after all - is there any difference at all? Thanks! :)

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thank you for finding us too. I always stir my fruit wines because it has never failed me. There are 2 main reasons for it... #1 you need to keep your fruit moist not sitting on top of bucket out of the liquid.. if the fruit or mint or must starts to mold or spoil you will have much more serious problems. #2 In the primary stage you need to allow your yeast to breathe... it needs some fresh oxygen to perform at its highest ability... introducing oxygen in primary stage is not as important as secondary stage. Great question. 👍👍😁😁🍷🍷

[@daduce222]

Hello again, I'm just curious if you ever try to make wine from grapes? I know food grapes are much different than wine grapes, but is there a grape that can be used from the store to make wine? Also, do you ever use oak or hickory chips to try to get a more complex flavor. I have no idea what I'm talking about since I am starting my first ever batch tonight, but just wondering if you ever try to make something comparable to the red wines you buy in the store. Sorry for my ignorance here.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Great questions. I have tried hickory sticks and chips but no more. I just don't like that flavor. I now use the hickory and chips for the grill. I will be doing a grape video soon. But you can't use store bought grapes they just will not give you a good wine your use to buying. You have to get good grapes from a vineyard or winery. I think you can even get grapes for wines on Amazon. I really can't wait for you to try your first batch. Keep me posted. 👍👍👍

[@robertbatten8722]

When you make the banana wine, should you dip the whole bananas in the sanitizer before cutting? Thank you.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Nope. Campden tablets sanitize your fruit. This all that Is needed.

[@tonyareid7743]

If I wanted to backsweeten with honey would I need to use equal parts honey an water?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes equal parts.

[@tonyareid7743]

@@HowToDoneRight just sounds like a great combo for sore throats mint an honey. We have our own honey bees so we got plenty to use up 😊

Oh yeah.

[@ildefonsoiiiocampo1519]

Good day sir! Can you do dragon fruit wine, please.

[@HowToDoneRight]

I will put that on my list. Not an easy fruit for me to get.

[@ildefonsoiiiocampo1519]

@@HowToDoneRight thank you sir! I hope to watch it soon. It would be a big help for me. Thank you so much and keep up the good work sir. God bless!

[@AkuaKamau]

A question: In bottling, doesn't the crushed Campden tables and the Sorbate that you place in the bottles settle to the bottom of each bottle after a while?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Good question No they will dissolve into the liquid.

[@AkuaKamau]

@@HowToDoneRight ok

[@aryanak8990]

Hello sir, Can we increase alcohol content (eg.>25% ) in wine ? Does it get bitter taste if we increase alcohol content ??

[@HowToDoneRight]

Most likely not. Most yeast will tolerate about 15 percent before it's killed by alcohol. There may be some yeast out there too get it higher but not sure.

[@aryanak8990]

@@HowToDoneRight thankyou sir

[@georgeakanlo3547]

I think I want to send you a personal email for some further information if you don't mind

[@HowToDoneRight]

Sure can. I think you can reach it through KZbin somehow as people will email me directly just not sure how they do it. Keep me posted as you progress in the hobby. 👍👍
