Finished a 6 gallon batch of apple wine using your recipe. I cleared it with bentonite and super clear. It was done in 28 days following your steps. It turned out fantastic!!! Super clear with a great taste. Can’t wait to share it with friends and family. Thanks for the great recipe and keep those videos coming!!!!

I'm new to wine making,and I just want to say thanks for all the great videos on wine making. There are so many vids out there that just make the vids for the clicks and make wine from" junk" and they know the wine won't come out good . Click vids I call them, but your vids are awesome and very informative thank you again for all the fruit videos that make awesome wine. I have pineapple,strawberry,and also mango/pineapple mashes started . The first pineapple is from someone else but the other two are your recipes and will let you know how they progress. Thanks, Shane Aubuchon Chelsea, Maine

[@alexlarsen6413]

Wow...this looks so tasty!! I've just made a similar thing only with honey, and I didn't use any water, just apples, apple juice and honey, lol! I had hoped it would be left with some residual sugar but nope, mine went from the OG of 1.110 to 0.991 in 10 days so it's going to be 16% but okay...I'll back-sweeten with some more honey. Now it's off gassing and clearing, I've already divided it into two 5L carboys and have 2L extra. My intention was to leave one as is (after back-sweetening of course) and turn the other into apple pie mead by adding some nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves...but now that I've seen this, I think I'm gonna add your caramel to the other one! Thanks! 🥂

[@HowToDoneRight]

They mead sounds good. Yeah I'm like you if I add more sugar upfront it conveys to alcohol unless you crash fermenting and that's for its challenges in big carboys. I like to back sweeten and control at the end. Great tips. 👍👍🙂🙂

I have a question about the Apple wine taking longer to start the fermentation process. Mine has been sitting in a 6.5 gallon bucket now for 3 full days, and have still not started fermenting. I followed your directions and after 24 hours I added the yeast on top and then waited another 24 hours for it to start Plopping / Bubbling... but even now at 3 full days it has not started. The Pear bucket I set, started like clockwork after 24 hour of the yeast being present. Q What can I do now to get the apple bucket to start fermenting? Should I dissolve some yeast in some luke warm water and then add it to the mixture to get it started or what do I do? Any and all suggestions would be very much welcome and please be a little detailed as I am doing this for the first time ;-) Love your Channel....and you present very well. ;-)

Awesome thanks for the information. I'll give this one a try in a gallon first. Then it's up to a 5 gallon one. 👍

[@veronicahouston5910]

I just wanted you to know I started the apple wine last weekend. I am following the recipe for the 5 gallon batch. It was too many apples to get in the 6 gallon fermenting bucket so I divided it in half and have two buckets. As for my scuppernong and muscadine wines, I bottled and labeled those last Saturday. I ended up with 27 bottles of muscadine and 27 bottles of scuppernong. They are now aging in the wine cooler for two months.😊

[@HowToDoneRight]

Awesome veronica. You got alot wine did you taste it before Bottling?

[@veronicahouston5910]

@@HowToDoneRight Ohhhhhh Yes!!! It is great. I did have one issue though. The muscadine seems to be displaying a little sediment. It is not bad but there is some there. The only thing that I can recall happening is when I put the stabilizer in the Muscadine bucket, I noticed it displayed a film. I tried to be sure it was stirred in good but something happened at that point. I even mentioned it to my husband when it happened. The scuppernong is perfect… Have you ever experienced anything like that? The taste is still great though. It will not go to waste though…🤣

Hello. hey, question, is the fermentation process too smelly? I am looking for the right location to work on this and I wonder if it will produce a very strong smell around the house? Thank you

[@HowToDoneRight]

Not at all. I make it right in my kitchen and living space.

[@erice5429]

@@HowToDoneRight Thank you for the response. It is very helpful.

[@RayGarrettJr]

Is there a reason you used Granny Smith Apples? I'm not a fan of the acidity, so I'd like to use Red Delicious of possible

[@HowToDoneRight]

You can use any kind of apples that you like.

hi i had a q about the banana wine, my 1st batch was great, second the liquid was all gooey, so I tossed it away. What did i do wrong?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thats hard to say. Sounds like a mold issue or sanitation issue. Did you store in a dark place.

[@veronicahouston5910]

[@girlydahl]

Oh no! I just realized I doubled the additives for a 5 gallon batch! So, 5, 1/2tsps of each additive I was only going by the video and not looking at recipe :( Just now was going to add the yeast. Do I need to dump it or will it be ok?

[@HowToDoneRight]

That will be just fine.

[@eroggero]

Looking forward to the next part , sounds great..., Would it be possible to turn a regular 5 gal bucket into a primary fermentor ? Need another one for trying some of these amazing recipes.😎

[@HowToDoneRight]

Oh yeah... easy conversion. But would make sure food grade bucket.

can we use granny smith apples ?

[@erice5429]

Hello again, sorry, one more question. When i was ordering some items i noticed that for the "RED STAR WINE YEAST" the link goes to amazon, but the posting shows 2 options. By looking at the packages they look the same, however, the description and the price are a bit different among them. Is there a difference between them? if so, which one is the best to use... thank you

[@HowToDoneRight]

Not sure what you mean but this is what you want. amzn.to/40GOakt

[@NormCarlson]

How do you keep the apples from tuning brown?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Peel them and get in the must as soon as possible. Usually not a factor once get in the bucket with water. They may turn slightly but no affect on the wine.

[@pastelquest]

Is it possible to make just a bottle or two instead of a gallon ?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Trust me you are not going to want to go through all this work for 2 bottles of wine. I hate even doing 1 gallon batches because of the wait time and 4 month process. I will always do 3 gallon when possible.

@@HowToDoneRight makes sense! Thanks for the help so far

[@ddotodd11]

Hey guys - thanks for the videos! I'm curious - what's your opinion on blending all of the fruit instead of cutting it? Making it into a smoothie, essentially... Any issues with that? Especially with apples, pears, and other harder fruits, it seems like this would make the fermentable "stuff" more available. I've also wondered about the hydrometer measurements you take at the beginning. If most of the juice from the fruit is tied up in cell walls, are you measuring more of the sugar water than the fruit? I'm just getting ready to start my first batch of wine EVER, so I'm trying to get all of my beginner questions answered. Thanks so much! And nice name, sir - I'm also named Todd. :)

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thanks for watching our channel. It is never ever a good idea to blend your fruit into fine particles... it always sounds like a good idea but as you start racking process you then try and get all those fine particles out.. my wine recipe accounts for extra fruit you will have more than plenty of juice to make wine. Trust me... do not blend.. just chop fruit and if berries break the skins. Yes in most cases your beginning reading is from sugar but berry juice will be released quickly and be measured. Welcome to the hobby... trust me you will never buy wine again once you taste homemade wine. 👍👍🍷🍷😁😁

Would be awesome if you made a discord community for winemakers to chat and show off their wine and their brewing company - Like a fan community😄

[@HowToDoneRight]

Great idea. One day. 👍👍

[@jacobbrayton4227]

I could be wrong, but I don't think the hydrometer reading will be very accurate without the potential sugars that would be in the apples themselves.

[@HowToDoneRight]

The sugars in the fruit is very very minimal compared to the sugar you are adding. That's why you don't account for it as wine makers it is fractions of a percent. Great question though.
