PawPaw Makes a Batch of Homemade Wine in 40 Seconds ! My best recipe !

@3:35 ****I may not have made it clear in this video... the mix has to sit about three weeks before it is ready to drink....Please refer to my video posted on 2/11/18 "Beginner Tutorial" ***
After a little calculating and head scratching, I have simplified my recipe even further. Eliminating extra dishes and utensils. Too easy to ignore !!! Never buy wine again ! No fancy utensils at ALL !!!

What I really love about this recipe is that the most laboring/messiest part of making this wine is that it’s already done for you. No more harvesting and sorting and separating vines leaves and grapes before pressing and filtering. The only thing we get to do is pretty much put it into a fermentation bottle, shake it and wait. You and your Father have created what I now call “shake-n-wait” wine.

[@damienhyde2738]

I like the name lol

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

It's "Shake n' Wait" and I helped. 😀I couldn't help myself

[@666BurnThemPrisons]

I have followed this recipe for multiple batches and they always turn out great. I never need to wait longer than a week though. It may be because I live in the desert but its usually done in 8 days leaving it in my garage at temps ranging from 90-100. I have underestimated the strength and blacked out a few times after drinking the entire half gallon lol.

[@shakenbacon1592]

you are even better than santa because my mom makes wine and has quite the setup in the basement, if i could surprise her with something like this itll blow her mind

[@binx2smooth]

Wow! I made the wine. In my 76-80 degree house, it took about two weeks. Made it first time as described, with 1.5 C sugar and the Welch's grape. DE-LISH-OUS! Hell of a kick! I'm passing around this video to everyone I know.

[@DoingItCheap]

Thank you Alan !!

[@wisegirlways4040]

So it takes two weeks before it’s done he only says till bubble gone but no time frame

[@DoingItCheap]

@Wisegirl The time is variable depending on the temperature you keep it at. Watch the winemaking videos on my playlist on my homepage. They will answer all your questions. The warmer you keep it, the faster it finishes.

i had 6 of those bottles took out the 2 cups from the different flavors and also put all 12 cups in a orange juice container we washed out. its been about a month tryed the grape its sweet another one we tryed is powerfull almost like brandy . maybe the one with everything will be like fruit punch lol curiouse to try it..thanks my friend its good wine for sure thanks

Gets his juice and sugar from a dallar store, the yeast from a bakery that gives him a sandwitch bag full for free when he shows up. He even can afford to pay a freind of his to watch over his operation while he is out selling. He pays him in win. Lol

Dear Pawpaw, I just had to reach out and share my excitement and gratitude with you! I recently attempted to make your homemade wine following your instructions, and I'm thrilled to say that it turned out absolutely fantastic! After a mere four weeks, the wine was ready to be enjoyed, and let me tell you, it's simply perfect. I can't express enough how grateful I am for your clear and easy-to-follow instructions. Thanks to your guidance, I was able to create a delightful wine that rivals even the finest bottles I've purchased in the past. The whole process was incredibly straightforward, and I am truly amazed at how effortless it felt. From this day forward, I can proudly say that I will never buy wine again. Why would I, when I have the ability to make such a superb batch right at home? Your recipe has become my go-to, and I am already looking forward to trying out different variations and exploring the world of winemaking further. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to you, Pawpaw. Your expertise and willingness to share your knowledge have truly enriched my life. I am so grateful for this newfound skill and the delicious wine it has allowed me to create. Cheers to you, and to many more successful homemade wine adventures! With utmost appreciation, [Your Name]

[@trance5772]

My first time attempting to make wine. I did it Exactly as Paw Paw instructed, exactly! 100% Welch’s grape juice, sugar, yeast. Took out 8oz juice, added yeast and sugar. Shook till sugar dissolved. Loosened the cap. Placed in a box in my spare bedroom and left it alone for 4 weeks. There is sediment on the bottom of the bottle and this stayed on the bottom. I slowly poured the wine into a couple quart mason jars. Again, the sediment stayed stuck to the bottom of the bottle so the wine came out Very clear. Wow, this wine is Delicious, not too sweet, a bit dry like normal wine. Thank you Paw Paw!

[@jolee2733]

He said 16 oz of juice

[@martinesnook9628]

Maybe it was a bit dry because you took out 8oz instead of 16oz, that sounds good though I like a dry wine too, what do you think @Paw Paw?

[@anonymousf8406]

This is great! I have my first 3 batches going for about a week as of now. Even adjusted for inflation prices, i can make about 20 or so regular bottles of wine (.75 literes) for about 40 bucks. This is one hell of a money saving Idea Pawpaw. Thank you so much🍷

Thank you PawPaw! I am having a blast with you recipy, and I am getting the best wines I have ever tasted. A fun thing: I have a bunch of those "fancy winemakers" at my work. I put some of the wine I made (using your recipy) in a fancy looking bottle, and prited out a label for the bottle, saying "Dampnas bonus vinum" (latin for "damn good wine"). They got very impressed and are still talking about "my winemaking skills". They should only know that I use store bought fruit juice! :) You are the man, PawPaw!

[@thomaswolf6507]

An update on my process. I started with 4 juice containers and the first to finish fermenting was Welches Concord Grape, I don't know why as I used the same amount of sugar and yeast in each container. So, I racked that into quart mason jars (not advised unless you're into mycology and understand filter lids, or they could blow up) and put them into a nearly-ice cold fridge which I learned causes "cold crashing" which puts the yeast into a dormant state and essentially stops further fermentation. When I racked it, I ran it through coffee filters. First of all, I tested this wine at 17 days and finished it at 20 days. There was sediment in just that 3 days, and a flavor change. Initially it was still quite drinkable (especially after the first cup) and did not cause any GI issues which was a concern. It has a kick to it, definitely stronger than the 10-11% Sangria I typically drink, I don't have a hydrometer but on guesstimation, I think it was around 14-16% ABV. The Welches flavor is strong enough that I could see this being watered down a little bit for people who like weak wines. After letting it sit longer in the fridge, I tried it again and noticed sediment at the bottom of the quart jars along with a better flavor and more clarity. I did not rack 100% of the bottle, just until I hit the muck. I plan to get an auto-siphon in the future, they are cheap. I am allowing my other bottles more time, although I don't see why racking them after fermentation stops is a bad idea because that time to cold-crash and ultimately be able to rack them a second time into proper wine bottles (or any bottle, almost) will yield a better final product in the same duration of time. Unless PawPaw has a good reason for otherwise, it doesn't seem to matter if it is aged with or without racking. Tried mixing up my first mix in the leftover grape juice bottle, I cleaned it very well but didn't have StarSan (yet) so time will tell on mold but wow does the yeast love the pineapple I dumped in there! Will let you know how the full duration / 30 day wines turn out. Then, I am going to get wine yeast designed specifically for 12-14% ABV and compare the two! Did it get me drunk? YES.

[@torq21]

Hey Paw paw. I've been making wine since around time I became a teenager. Will be 65 later this month. I had terrible gastritis and I found that wine eased the pain. I saw someone ask if they could use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast. I still make wine and with this Covid-19 lock down I have not been able to find active dry yeast for weeks. Yes I have tried several stores around Tucson but no yeast is to be had. I was down to less than 3 grams of yeast so asked a friend to grab a few packets if she happened to see it. Well she got two 3 packs of Fleishmans Rapid Rise (their version of instant yeast. So I have 3 quarts fermenting with Rapid rise that I started this morning with rapid rise yeast. No matter what happens I will let you know how this batch goes even if I have to use the last of my active dry yeast to get a stuck fermentation working again. I do see bubbles but so far they are lethargic.

[@DoingItCheap]

Wonderful!

[@dwayneking6479]

Oh my God paw paw I want to say thank you so much for doing what you do with the KZbin videos I truly appreciate it as a black man in America I'm always surrounded by people that's waiting for someone else to do shit for them instead of figuring out how to do it themselves hopefully I'm not misspelling words or getting off topic because today my own paw paw inspire homemade wine is/was ready an it is so worth the wait and I just want to say thank you for aspiring me to do this myself and on another note I think you're in the wrong business you probably should be a teacher you are very good at getting that the root of a problem and explaining what to do so once again I want to say thank for aspiring me to do this

[@DoingItCheap]

Hey there PawPaw. Just finished up my first batches. Made Pineapple Orange and Pomegranate. Both turned out amazing on the first try. Sooo easy too. Reminds me of a wine cooler. I’ll be doing more of this. Thank you 😊

You are so welcome

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

How long did it take to get ready to drink?

[@thecharacterg]

Just had my first sip of this recipe and all I can say is: 1 quart, 1 cup, 1/4 tsp is all anyone needs to know. It’s great

First batch turned out awesome! Reduced sugar by half and still turned out decently boozy. Old orchard brand grape juice. Ferment temperature was about 65-68 degrees. Tasted very similar to Carlo Rossi sweet red. Had almost a sparkling wine note to it as well. Needless to say me and the ol lady polished the whole jug off in one night! Thank you very much Paw Paw! Cheers 🍷

[@franksmith8615]

Wondering how champagne/wine yeast might effect the next batch? Thanks in advance much appreciated!

[@DoingItCheap]

Good stuff!

[@patricklee780]

The simpler the better, old school, love it!!

[@nibornnyw3185]

When i was a kid we had a batch of jelly that didn't gel. The moms were debating what to do with it, so we kids stole a couple jars and made secret wine.

This is the bob Ross of wine making

I promise you no one who knows anything about anything says you gotta have more than 1-2 servings of fruit a day. But this wine recipe is solid, I'll hand you that!

[@jimmieroan9881]

really, guess this very old 81 yr old man is special then because i don't get that much in a month and im still going strong, got all my own teeth and my hair is still red and that other part of me still functions. maybe im getting something to replace it from the pitchers of margaritas a couple times a week.

[@troysantos]

I made this with fresh sugar cane juice, and it turned out pretty darn good. Now I'll start experimenting :) I live in Thailand, where fresh squeezed cane juice is easy to find, cheap and fabulously good tasting. Fermenting it was darn easy! I used a non-granulated sugar, and no matter how much I shook the bottle, it didn't all dissolve. Turned out fine, just the same. This time I'll try it without any sugar, since the juice IS sugar!

[@spacesmuggling]

I wonder how many fiends are drinking juice sugar and yeast without waiting for it to ferment lol

[@DoingItCheap]

You can't imagine. Nobody reads the description box or comments. Some folks are so stupid, that I don't want to embarrass them by posting their comments.

[@kavy7304]

I just started my batch after watching your video. I substituted Honey instead of white sugar. Two 64oz jugs and three small pint jars. They are all bubbling with happy yeast eating the carbs.

[@zoso2850]

How much honey? I'll give it a try

[@MnemonicHeadTrip]

Thank you pawpaw. I would really like to get into home brewing other things such as mead and this seems like a really good way to get familiar with the basics of fermentation

[@kevinlittle8091]

Just tasting my first ever batch, it’s amazing, quite sweet like a dessert wine but I like that, can tell it’s strong. I’m impressed!

[@urbanbackyardfarmer9159]

Sounds like we’re making maddog 20/20 😂😂😂

[@tomtaylorjr.3938]

Oh my gawd Paw Paw! I am drinking my first batch I've ever made from Welch's concord grape! It's been 3 weeks and the bubbling stopped like 3 days ago. I know you recently told me that I should let it sit another week, but I just couldn't wait anymore! All the sediment was settled at the bottom and it was more translucent than when I started and I know it woulda been a little clearer if I waited another week in the fridge. I didn't rack it with a syphon,I used 2 coffee filters and poured slowly then used a fine metal mesh strainer to strain it again. It is incredible! And prior to this I was a beer and whiskey guy, never wine because the fancy shmancy high dollar wine tasted to much like vinegar. This is much sweeter and tastes so good that I think I'ma be a paw paw wine drinker more often! Thanks so much paw paw for sharing this! And it's definitely giving me the PPWW (paw paw wine wiggle)! I'm gonna try different flavors now!

[@DoingItCheap]

LMAO !!! I am glad you like it !

[@sfkingalpha]

Welcome to the high rollers club. You're fancy now. Now try the other Welch's flavors! I've graduated to a 3 gallon container with a spigot lol!
