PawPaw's Thanksgiving Wine is Ready ! And the aquarium experiment

[@rodneylane4710]

I am the brother in law that was fortunate enough to get a bottle from Paw Paw it is so good it will put some pep in your step

[@zoso2850]

I like how he says I gotta quit pouring so much ..then pours another full one .😆

It's always that good! K8cking myself in the butt for not making some myself!

[@johnjackaman2040]

Wow thank you so much Paw Paw. I keep tropical fish and the water plants love CO2. I now have your your wine suspended in a black bottle inside the aquarium. With a bung in the top and a tube giving my plants the much needed CO2. Didn`t look so great until I planted some stem plants around the bottle. Love your videos and especially your explanations.

Paw paw! I made my first batch this morning. The juice I got from Aldi's was apple juice and black cherry and plum. I put them in my closet on the top shelf. Can't wait till August and drink up. 😁 Thank you for your shows.

How did it turn out? I’m loving mine.

[@karenholley8356]

Paw Paw, I have looked high and low (no pun intended) for a funnel that you can use that has a bigger hole (this is not obscene -- stay with me now) for you to put sugar into the plastic juice containers. Haven't found one yet. Love all your videos! Thank you for your wisdom in all things.

[@MichaelAnderson-df2hj]

Funny thing happened to me recently. I made 10 quart and a half jugs of wine. After a few days I realized that I couldnt smell them like usual. I have them in my 8'×14' bedroom. I like to keep my stash safe. So I looked at them and only 2 had any activity. So Einstien here got the brilliant idea to hook up a heating pad and place a heavy duty trash bag over them. Then whenever I thought about it I would turn it on high. The second day of that I started to smell them working. By the 3rd day the smell had over taken my room. Upon inspection I discovered all of them went crazy foaming out onto my shelving. They turned out okay just not as much product as I had hoped. 😭

[@TopofthesouthPacific]

Shit , I’d be hammered after that wine tasting 😂😂❤👍🏼😎

From the UK here and I’m sure going to be doing a nice 12 bottle batch tomorrow after seeing your videos. Going to my local Aldi store and getting supplies. Will be difficult to find a constant warm space as its cold AF here but I like the fish tank idea may just have to do the same

[@DoingItCheap]

Hope you enjoy it! Needs to stay above 70F/21C

Has it finished yet, and if so how’d to turn out???🎃🇺🇸

😂😂😂 sorry, had to laugh at your “it’s C🧊LD AF here” comment! 🤭 I live in Central New York State, and it has been rather Delightful 🥰 these past couple of weeks. That said, I did hafta send an email to the Canadian government yesterday to tell them that THEIR Weather was …a’hem… “In MY Yard” and that they needed to come and get that 💩!! 🤨🙇🏻‍♂️🥶🤷🏻‍♂️

[@FullDottle]

PawPaw, I laughed my ao when you opened the aquarium! You can also add some hydrogen peroxide in to stop the bacteria from growing.

[@mikehannahs]

My thanksgiving wine I made the same day you did turned out great as always, I’ve never had a unsuccessful batch following your instructions, I drank a glass last night and it was delicious, Happy Thanksgiving PawPaw from our family to yours

[@cerescop]

stay away from the water all together and use a normal aquarium bottom cover of gravel/sand and use a lizard rock heater instead of a water heater. A towel will do as a top cover to keep the heat in and should work as well. The sand will work as a heat collector and spreader.

You have inspired me to try this. I got a jug of 100% apple juice and some wine makers yeast, that I found on sale, coming today. If all goes well I'll report back in about 3 weeks.

I just use active dry yeast from the baking section of the grocery store.

I've still got 15 gallons I made back in Jan 2020 when I first found your channel. I racked all of it like 4 times and most of it was with Welchs brand grape juice of some type of Welches juice variety. I also made some out of 2lbs of fresh blueberries and put it in my glass fermentor. I assume its all still good. I also made some apple cider wine and froze it all. I need to pour out the alcohol from those and have some super hard cider haha. Cheers and happy holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving 😊 Here in TX were trying out a Christmas blend that I made back when I first started watching your channel . I'm thinking 2016 cause Trump was barely elected . Only difference is I stepped up your recipe to a 5 gallon water bottle . Mine came out a little hot and strong alcohol taste but 6 yrs later it's smooth as can be and I'm proud of it .

One thing is you can mix them all together before racking(or not) but let them sit over night to settle down. I think after all the experiments are combined into one big pot or bottle, they would taste just fine.....

Hey Paw Paw, I'm almost like Santa Clause, Chris Cringle and Jack Daniels all in one. Lol. Well, since I was born on the first day of winter, Dec 21st, I'm frost on wheels. Much more dangerous than hell on wheels, lol. My first batch of wine was 12 crates of raspberries, 4 lbs of raisins, 2 canelopes and 2 bunches of bananas. It was like 15 gallons of wine. Lord have mercy, 2 weeks later, I got so drunk I thought my cat was a duck . I'm cooking my 3rd home brew and use clean buckets with plastic wrap. I think your , container is near impossible to seal with square corners . Round is easier to seal with plastic film and some rope

I love the “I don’t like it, but I don’t throw nothing away”. My feelings exactly. I’ve made a few brews that were straight nasty. “You gonna dump this??” Nope. May taste like butt, but it’s my creation, and it costed me money to make it…so I’m drinking it! Lol 👍

[@DoingItCheap]

The reason I kept it is another experiment........can I add more sugar and yeast and make it start up again ?

[@dawgface2393]

@@DoingItCheap experiment is a good idea too...I usually just chug it and wince, lol!

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

@@DoingItCheap - I can already tell you: yes, you can. It’s called step feeding. The yeast might chew through more sugar as it will some times acclimatise to the presence of alcohol. But as long as the wine hasn’t been sitting around for a long time, there’s viable yeast cells in there. Best way to go about it is to make sure you’ve got sediment in there. That sediment doesn’t just contain dead yeast. It also contains live, viable yeast that went dormant. Even without sediment you can fe-start fermentation as long as alcohol tolerance hasn’t been reached. After all, that’s how champagne is made: wine that’s fermented to dry and gets a precise amount of sugar added to it. Enough to produce more carbon dioxide inside the sealed bottles, but not enough to allow the bottles to explode. One of my best (hard) ciders is a cherry-berry I fed with just enough sugar after fermentation to make it sparkling. Because I don’t like it completely dry, I also added erythritol as well to sweeten it. Erythritol doesn’t ferment. I tried your original recipe out of curiosity, although I didn’t make it in the original bottle with the loose-cap method as I’ve got airlocks, a hydrometer, carboys etc. A bit sweet for me but very enjoyable. I only tasted a bit of it because I’m carrying it one step further: steep immature walnuts in it to make French “vin de noix”. It’s pretty close to Port wine. It needs a lot of ageing (make it in May/June, don’t drink any before Christmas, preferably not before it’s a year old). I figured your sweet wine would be the perfect base.

Happy Thanksgiving PawPaw !!! That welchs Grape pairs really good with Montrachet or they started calling it Premier Classique yeast . its really cheap order it online if you dont have a wine or beer shop near you . Made me a five gallon batch with it and turned out really good . followed your recipe except added just a 1/2 cup less sugar than your recipe calls for . and it turns out perfect . sweet but not too sweet . Mine got up to like 12 -13 percent abv.. i highly recommend trying it . just follow the directions on package and keep it in temp range and try to keep steady as possible best you can . i always cover it up with something the light cannot get thru and keep its mostly dark unless im checking on it . Hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving Friend.
