How To Make Muscadine Wine. Start to Finish

[@cavalryscout8720]

I still revisit this video to help refresh my memory.. Ive got two and a half gallons almost ready for the first racking that I intend to take to a reunion of my army brothers whom i deployed with to Iraq. I haven't seen these guys in over 30 years, so a little wine is in order.. I made grape, and another brother is making some blueberry for the occasion.. Cheers! And thanks again for a well done video that takes out all the guess work..

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

Thanks so much and I truly appreciate your service for me and my family

[@jodyallen3879]

By far the best wine making video ever. I think i could make wine now. Thank you Shane and Kim.

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

I know you can ,it's really easy.

[@rishines5530]

❤ here's what I do with that little bit of wine and lees: I have a tall and thin iced tea pitcher that I pour all of the lees into. It settles in a day or two and we enjoy a glass of new wine. Then dump the lees into the compost. Love your videos, thank you!

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

Awesome idea

[@tannerdicandio6100]

I am fixing to make muscadine wine for the first time ever. I had to find an alternative to the Camden tablets as everyone was sold out! Even Amazon had to postpone my shipment by three weeks! So I found a brewery supply company and let me tell you! The owner was working hard to sell me everything! Fussed at me for not “washing “ my stuff with commercial cleaner, had me buy a testing jar and a hydrometer and Ph test strips. I told her that the video I watched didn’t involve all of this! And she said well you’re taking a chance that your wine is going to explode when it goes into bottles and all this other stuff. I finally told her listen, I’m not wanting to spend a whole lot more money than what I’ve already spent. I’m not looking to make commercial wine, everybody makes wine differently and bought my $30 worth of stuff and walked out lol so I’m praying this wine comes out delicious following your recipe!! Sondra (I am using my son’s KZbin account as well!)

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

Lol so awesome cant wait to see how it turns plsekeep me posted. If not using Campton tablet I would refrigerate after bottling ti nake sure yeast doesn't start back up In the bottle. We've had 2 batches of strawberry explode downstairs si we don't make strawberry any more lol. My mother in law said hers didn't because she kept it in fridge. Goodnluck and keep me posted

[@kgeistfeld]

How long in fridge? Then room temp?

[@nickmcafee3523]

A plain, unlabeled bottle is half the beauty of homemade wine to me.

[@tobyhall473]

After fermentation you need to be careful exposing must to oxygen. While transferring to the 3 gallon carboy you want to make sure you’re not splashing it to introduce oxygen. Keep end of hose under the surface of the liquid. And also eliminate the headspace in the carboy. Should only be about an inch headspace at the top.

[@outdoorztime2923]

Awesome job! You might have to hide from Sheriff Rasco P. Coltrane, though. lol Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@manuelvazquez1680]

Left a comment on here about a year ago. Followed your instructions and we made the best wine! Got awesome compliments and were super happy seeing it was our first attempt. We did a 50/50 blend of muscadine and concord. Turned out beatufil thank you! We did experiment with the back sweetening using honey, aquave and cane sugar. The honey turned out ok but the aguave and cane sugar were the best.

And for the end of the year and the brewing season I've just started slightly over 10L, basically ~ 11L of dark cherry mead from the frozen cherries I had left over from the summer. Again, love the channel, happy the youtube algorithm finally recommended it to me...I just subscribed! 👍

I don't recall seeing where the Camden tablets were added again at the end, did I miss it, when do I add? I asked for & received a wine making kit for Christmas, but the instructions were very scientific, I was worried I wouldn't be able to do this. I absolutely love y'alls video, definitely simplified this process for me. We picked muscadines over the weekend and just started ours....I'm sooo excited and now more confident! Thanks so much!

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

That's awesome. We are still waiting for ours to get ripe. So sorry but I actually forgot to show that on the video. Add it 24hrs before you backsweet and bottle. 1 tablet per gallon just to make sure the yeast is completely dead. I have a pineapple wine video you will probably enjoy as well. Its my wife's favorite wine

[@MariaHanes-dm7ts]

Loved this video. Watched it a hundred times. We bottled yesterday. We did not back sweeten because we like it dry. I’m just seeing the comments about adding the Camden tablet. We did not do this. Do we need to warn our friends who received a bottle yesterday?? 😂

[@seanfoltz7645]

I do mead and I'll share the two tricks to racking it. With mead, leaving it in the carboy for 12 weeks seems to be the magic time for perfect fermentation - no need to mess with buckets - water and honey straight in, mix with a clean wooden dowl, give the tablets 24 hours to kill any wild yeast/bugs and then add the yeast and chems - no need for nutrients or blooming the yeast first - I use a 5 gallon carboy. After twelve weeks, take a tablespoon of bentonite clay - powdered and food grade - add to four ounces of water, stir/shake until you've got a slurry and then dump it in - replace the carboy and wait 24 hours. You now have crystal clear mead with no flavor contamination from the clay and no loss of color - that's the first trick. Now what about those last two inches with all of the sediment? Grab your pasta pot, put the wife's colander on it, line it with regular paper towels (four layers works for the two-ply) and then start pouring it off - the paper towels catch most of the sediment but you'll still have a gray mead in the pot. Siphon it into a clean 1.75 liter glass liquor bottle then cap and put to the side - give it a few days until clear and settled - then you can carefully pour off the clean mead and now you're only wasting a few ounces of liquid versus what looks to be 2-3 pints in that 3 gallon carboy and nearly 4 pints for my 5 gallon.

I really enjoyed the video. Great job. I do have a few questions. First, after removing the sediment, what did you clean the carboy with? Second, the syphon tube and the bottles, how did you sterilize them? Lastly, if you were going to gift someone with a bottle, how long after bottling would you wait?

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

1st we drink right away its good. 2nd I just rinse out a few times really well. They do make cleaning tools for the carboys. Yoi can find them on Amazon. 3rd. The bottles I spray the sterilizer in the bottle then I place them upside down to drain in the dishwasher for a few minutes to drain then rinse and ready to go. The siphon I put sterilizer in a bowl pump through then pump clean water through to rinse out the pump

[@mozdedo]

Hey , one thing you can do with the inch or so of clear wine sitting over the yeast cake in the secondary is to carefully pour it off into a mason jar and stop when the sediment starts to flow into the jar. Put that in the fridge with the lid on to "cold crash" it. After a day or even a few hours sometimes, you can careful pour that into a glass and Drink it!

Will be trying Your recipe to the T ,only difference will be using Sccuppernongs,seeing how My Supreme & Ison Vine did not do Well & found a trick that works well to keep the Deer away from My Scuppernongs. Want to touch on why I use a Perservative Potassium Sorbate @ a very small amount 1/4 tsp. at bottling .I take a qt of same fruit & run it through a countertop Juicer+ the Sugar Syrup like You & add @ bottling, because was not getting that exceptional Muscadine taste that both of us go crazy about HaHaHa! .

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

No I actually forgot but it works out ok. No problems

[@paullehmann9505]

Good video. You forgot to mention adding potassium sorbate to prevent renewed fermentation prior to back sweetening. You could get exploding corks if this is not done.

[@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia]

Never added it and never had a problem

[@paullehmann9505]

You probably added enough sugar in the beginning to produce maximum alcohol possible - probably stronger than 14%. In that event, added sugar would not be a problem but if you have not reached maximum alcohol for the particular yeast used, then there will be problems. I think you said you used EC-1118 and that yeast will produce a LOT of alcohol and that is the reason your wine is strong in alcohol because you used quite a bit of sugar in the beginning. Do what works for you but for others who might use a different yeast and or less sugar initially, there will be renewed fermentation when adding sugar to sweeten unless sterile filtering (which most do not have the equipment) or use potassium sorbate to prevent the yeast from budding and multiplying. It does. not kill the yeast but prevents it from multiplying.

[@theghostofsw6276]

I usually make 5 gallon batches....my solution to the headspace problem is to make an extra gallon, and after primary I have the 5 gallon and a 1 gallon. I'll then use the gallon to top up the big carboy after racking....with a little left over for a taste...lol. If you're not to fussed about drinking unfinished wine then, after you've topped up the large carboy, you can bottle the rest into beer bottles, and pasteurize to stop fermentation...a couple weeks and you can enjoy a young, but clear sample. Yes pasteurization can mess with taste a bit, but it's a waste not want not situation, so who cares?

[@buddysimons5200]

Dump the carboy in a mason jar and put it in your fridge. After a couple of days you can pour off the good wine into a glass and drink it instead of wasting it.

Very informative video

[@markwalstead7000]

Truly great tutorial. Hats off to you for a great video!! Hate to sound like a parrot to all the other comments but I have watched multiple videos and yours is by far the most detailed and informative. I made an OK batch of pear wine last year, but otherwise no experience. We found a scuppernong vine growing after clearing some trees and I have 5 gallon bags right now. I have a question about the campden tablets. In the first part of the video, you said you use them at the beginning and end. I have watched several times and read transcript to get the recipe. I don’t see any mention of campden at the end. I assume this would be to stop all fermentation at the end before bottling?

I actually forgot to add it in the video. 24 hrs before bottling add tablets
