Greatest Series of Grape Wine Save All 3 Part 😊 Sirji your Wine Looks Amazing 👌 I Wrote Recipe for my 5 to 6 gallon Wine Thanks For Great Video 🙏

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thank you so much❤️❤️🍷🍷

[@Bhoxmine]

How long do you let the wine sit after adding bentonite and stirring daily for 3-4 days? My Concord grape wine is happily very dark so it’s hard to tell how clear it’s getting. Do I re-rack one more time and let sit for about a month before I bottle? Thanks.

[@HowToDoneRight]

You rack until it's clear enough for you.. keep watching videos show you about clearing wine in all my videos. Let sit in bentonite 30 days... bentonite should be your last racking.

[@Bhoxmine]

Thank you again 😊

Hi folks; I enjoy all your videos. I had a question about corks. I've had a lot of bad luck with the #9 corks that I've bought. Could you recommend a vendor?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thanks so much. North mountain corks are Generally very good. Here are some I have used. amzn.to/4aI3QXh I also Have links to other corks and supplies in all my wine videos.

[@firstalawal]

Great job

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thanks 👍

[@kiddeft]

Is there a practice of using dark colored glass for some wine (so sunlight won't penetrate) and using clear glass for others like white wines?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes... if you can't store your wine in a dark place then use dark bottles... I use all clear bottles when I can but i store in a cool basement closet with no light.

[@lovely_Life19]

Hi from England UK you are professional fantastic Men i start to make wine from yours videos so i have at the moment 200 liters wine ❤

[@HowToDoneRight]

That is awesome. Glad you found us and thanks for all the support. 🍷🍷👍👍😀😀❤️❤️

[@farissa6961]

I did everything as you did...but I made a simple mistake, which was adding 15 grams of Vermid K, but in steps, not all at once, which contains DAP for a quantity of five gallons. I hope this is not a mistake. Now I have moved to secondary fermentation, and today is the tenth day. It smells nice, gravite reading is 0.993, but its taste is very salty. Are there solutions for saltiness? Or will the salinity go away with time?

[@HowToDoneRight]

I never had a salty wine.. it could be what you added... but most likely came from the grapes you may have used. Salt can be extracted from the soil.. when its time to backsweeten...hopefully the sugar will help.

[@carolynchurchill2010]

I am making a gallon of Riesling Grape wine and I’ve heard it is best in a glass carboy. Should I remove about a cup of the juice so I can do the initial fermentation in my gallon jug? I have a 2 gallon plastic bin also. Appreciate any help. Thank you. Love your videos ❤

[@HowToDoneRight]

I always ferment in plastic for primary fermentation. Glass for secondary fermentation.

[@drewhjc]

You should try mixing 2 of the bottles together to see what you get.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Now I like your thinking. 👍👍.. but it's almost going got to Make more.

[@adontee1960]

Love watching your videos. I'm curious though about the bottles .... Looks like a lot of suds on them. Do you rinse them?

[@HowToDoneRight]

No. That is sanitizer. It is meant to be used like that.

[@adontee1960]

@@HowToDoneRight I'm going to be making wine for the first time ever in my life but I've always been interested. I have some concord grapes given to me from my nephews grape vine. They've been cleaned and frozen. Probably about 13lbs. I was going to use them and also use Concord grape juice , store bought to add to it. About 2 gallons. Using that as the liquid instead of water. Do I still need to use sugar? And what yeast would you recommend? I have two kinds, Lalvin K1-V1116 Wine Yeast and Lalvin RC 212 wine Yeast . I purchased all the items you recommended. Maybe I'm just overthinking this. I just want to do this right. I bought a 6 gallon fermentation bucket to use for the starting process. I would appreciate your input❤️

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes I would add sugar always to get abv right. I always use red star yeast in every wine I Make. Lalvin is good too. You will love the hobby just don't over think it and keep it simple. That's the key. Good luck. 👍👍👍👍

[@adontee1960]

@@HowToDoneRight Thank you, congrats on your ribbons you placed on your wine. I'm sure it was amazing👍❤️

[@HowToDoneRight]

@adontee1960 Thank you. 🍷🍷🍷

[@Bhoxmine]

I’ve watched so many of your enjoyable videos, and have read countless comments and haven’t seen any comments on the racking cane. I don’t understand why we have to hold the racking cane above the sediment since the bottom of the the racking cane has a tip on it that sits about half an inch or so above the sediment. Can you please explain? All the rackings I’ve done so far have had very little sediment.

[@HowToDoneRight]

That is correct it does have a stopper... but if you look very closely and your racking cane has a good suction, you will see some sediment sometimes get pulled up the tube... so just monitor if you get alot of Sediment or dead yeast you need to lift it up some.

[@Bhoxmine]

Perfect. Thank you again. I’m so excited! I’ve been taste testing along the way. Tastes like wine 😊🙌

[@HowToDoneRight]

Wine is a good thing... lol.

[@Bhoxmine]

I’m liking the dry taste of my wine. Can I NOT back sweeten or back sweeten only a little?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Oh yeah... that's the best part of the hobby you make the way you want.. keep watching you will see where I will bottle some dry semi sweet and sweet all in 1 batch.

[@EricJames-f8x]

I'm getting ready to make some blueberry wine. Would apple pair well with that as well?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Oh yeah.. don't be afraid to mix fruits.

[@EricJames-f8x]

Thank you

[@MHix63]

Thanks for this series! Great stuff. Question: after bottling as you lay the bottles on their side into the tub, several of them had (sediment?) that looked like it stirred up. Was that bentonite that got sucked up? Or something else? And is that normal after bottling to have some sediment? Thanks!!

[@HowToDoneRight]

Most likely sediment that got sucked up. The more you do the process the better you will get at it. Even I can get sediment in from time to time. But that is ok. Some wine companies actually will put grape skins in there wine bottles intentionally for added aged flavor. 👍👍🍷🍷

[@MHix63]

@@HowToDoneRight thanks for the reply!! I truly appreciate it, and love the videos.

[@MHix63]

Many grape wine recipes say 16-18 lbs per gallon. This seems like so high! You call for ~4 lbs. Any idea why the large variance? I’m torn on what to do.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Lol... in my opinion you just don't need that many grapes to make a great wine. They are pressing the grapes removing alot of the pulp that make a good wine. We add the entire grape to the must and ferment the entire grape. We just then add aditional water. Freezing the grape also releases more juice from the grapes.

[@MHix63]

@@HowToDoneRight thanks again!

[@angelarhoden4057]

Please show us how to use the Neato wine label software. I have been trying to print labels for a week😢

[@HowToDoneRight]

They would be printer specific. I show you on my printer will be different for yours... not sure you watched my wine gadget video but the labels I use there are amazing. They withstand alot of bottle washing I highly reccomend them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJDRpaWQq7t6r6c

[@tommcgehee8190]

How do you move those 6.5 gallon carboy around.

[@HowToDoneRight]

I try and only do 3 gallon batches and carboys because too heavy anymore.

[@BillKennedy-o6h]

I have a question from Limerick PA! Love the videos, making my wine, should have started when I turned 21 but waited until I hit 51! What a miss in life, but hey having fun thanks to you. While my other wines are still fermenting in the buckets, I did a pear wine since it was one of the fresh fruits available (1st one, then realized to turn to frozen fruits) but I topped a stopper that came with the gallon carboy and it would slide straight back up towards the top. Concerned since it was in the secondary stage, I taped a whole mess of duct tape on the stopper and around the top of the bottle to push the stopper down farther. Was it because everything was wet? The sanitized stopper, the neck of the carboy, was it ok to just leave it where it was almost loose at the top and then push down later to see if it sticks? I know duct tape was not the way to go... concerned citizen about wine making.......and thanks for everything! You have taught us well

[@HowToDoneRight]

Lol this is funny... I have had the same thing and taped my stoppers down also before... yes it is because it's wet and I just let sit on top.. I find after a day or 2 you can push down and will seal right up once it drys a little bit... but you got me laughing because we all have taped or stoppers or bunge. 😆😀😆😀

[@BillKennedy-o6h]

@@HowToDoneRight Thank You- Have you considered with your Caramel apple pie using a brown sugar caramel glaze to back sweeten, thats sounds interesting as that is what I thought you were going to do?

Brown sugar may mess with the clarity so never tried it.

[@mikeharris2985]

Can you make a jig and let the container lay on a little incline and let the sediments go to one place instead over the hole bottom. Would that make it a little easier when filling the bottles and get the most of the wine out. Thank you cheers 🍷

Thats actually a great idea... I may try that on one of my next wine videos for sure... lol🍷🍷
