Please make a video of the strawberry banana wine that won the wine competition! ❤

[@justmontina]

This was a great video for beginners on how to make homemade wine. Wow. It didn’t seem simple to me, a little complicated yet, a great hobby.🎉

[@MySuperman78]

Great video! I have recently taken up wine making as a hobby as well in addition to gardening!

[@justmontina]

Your hair looks so thick and healthy! ❤

[@veganhippiesol]

Yasssss thank you!!!

[@lorrainecanady5902]

Loved this video you were very thorough! I can’t wait to make my first batch. I saw a comment regarding sound, it was very clear on my end ❤

[@veganhippiesol]

Thanks for watching. ❤

[@lulusma1]

Thank you for taking so much time to make these videos. Inspiring me to take up a new hobby. Keep it up.

[@tyrawallace8908]

I want the wine kit you have in the video so I can do it step by step

[@uLeadAfrica]

Great video. Thank you so much. You were thorough. I'm gon try this.

[@jazzmia123]

Racking is definitely my favorite part of making wine too. I always have too much left over

[@veganhippiesol]

Try ordering some half gallon carboys for the extra. That’s what I do. 😊

[@roshellerichardson853]

I'm so happy I saw this video because I already have a wine kit, but when I started I believe I missed a step. I'm going to try again

[@veganhippiesol]

I’m happy you’re here. 😊

[@Lithetruth]

I can’t wait to order my kit! Thank you so much for this very informative video. I’m so excited to about making my first batch.

[@veganhippiesol]

What will your first batch be 👀

[@tg242]

Oh I'm so thankful I found ur channel its a inspiration for me I just told mu daughter I was going to start makeing my wine again me and my dad use to make it in the basement. I'm celebrating him he would if been 103 this year. Thank y for the inspiration and strawberries 🍓 is my favorite 😍

[@AuthenticallyFonze]

I just love your content. Thanks for sharing. Soooo I made my first batch, and I forgot to put water in the air lock. I didn't realize it until I opened my office door, and it smelled like eggs 🫣😫 but after I added the water it was fine. But I also forgot to check the S.G 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@veganhippiesol]

It’s okay!!!! How’d it end up turning out?

[@tangislove]

Do you use frozen fruit from the store or do you buy fresh fruit then freeze it? Does it matter?

[@veganhippiesol]

I usually go with frozen fruit because freezing breaks down the cellular structure, making fermentation easier, but you can use fresh fruit too.

[@TommyGreat]

Here's I'm... Beautiful and interested work right here 😊

[@Lyfestylesbydanniek]

I can’t wait to start my wine journey

[@veganhippiesol]

Im excited for you!!

[@TrishaWilliams86]

Hi. Thanks for sharing. Can you share what brand/ size Camden table you use it wasn’t in the list of ingredients.

[@veganhippiesol]

Hi! The brand is in the video, but the brand doesn’t matter. All camden tablets are the same.

[@shellypancake6854]

😊😊😊😊😊 thank you so much

[@veganhippiesol]

You're welcome!!!! 😀

[@MariahLashayWay333]

Did u make a vid on the berry cheesecake one,😢?

[@daladymarie]

She did on TikTok but not super indef like this

[@veganhippiesol]

Not yet!! I’m working on it now. 😊

[@DevinaJames]

Thanks for the video, I just made my first batch of wine all thanks to you and your video both here and IG. Today is my first day of fermentation but looking forward, I'm not really into dry wine. So, at what point do I add sweetener?

[@veganhippiesol]

Check out the video I just uploaded. I showed how I sweetened my wine. My apologies for the delayed response 😅

[@r3alspilljwill]

Did you make your bucket or did you buy it?

[@r3alspilljwill]

Nvm I found your link 😊

[@veganhippiesol]

I have actually done both. I post a video how to make your own wine bucket.

[@SmileyYvette]

About how long does it take?

[@veganhippiesol]

Depends on the wine. 🍷 some batches take months and some can take weeks

[@SmileyYvette]

@@veganhippiesol Thanks, I’m asking to see if I have enough time to make your recipe for Christmas gifts. What do you think?

[@veganhippiesol]

@@SmileyYvette if you start this week then you’ll have enough time. Should be done by second week of December

[@SmileyYvette]

@@veganhippiesol ok now I’m excited, fingers crossed I do well my first time eeek, is it bad to experiment as a gift 🤔

[@Jubsyjubsy123]

Great video! How much simple syrup did you end up adding to the batch? I have about 45oz from the sugar which looks like a lot more than you used in the video

[@veganhippiesol]

I don’t measure. I add until I get the desired hydrometer reading which is typically around 12% alcohol.

[@sleepnuance7840]

@veganhippiesol what is the name of the white tool you are mushing and stirring the wine with?

[@veganhippiesol]

Hi! It’s a 8" Stirring Paddle- plastic and about $5 on Amazon. 😊

[@corissar1]

How much simple syrup and water do you add

[@gerryamare4437]

Please pineapple wine recipe

[@veganhippiesol]

I’ll do that next. Pineapple is my favorite 😍

[@brandonm127]

When freezing your fruit do you freeze with water or without water?

[@veganhippiesol]

@@brandonm127 without. Great question 😊

[@ami_witha_k]

​@veganhippiesol so question, why was your strawberries so watery?

[@veganhippiesol]

@@ami_witha_k Frozen fruits can become watery and softer after thawing because the freezing process causes ice crystals to form, which rupture the fruit's cell walls. It happens to all fruit!

[@tamikacook3423]

Hi there. How much Tannin and Acid Blend did you use?

[@veganhippiesol]

Just realized I forgot to add that to the description!! I used 1/2 tsp acid blend and 1/4 tsp wine tannin. 😊

[@tysheikawright5983]

Can you post the tannin and acid name brand you used and the direction how you used it

[@morganholt2749]

Hi there!! I’m currently brewing this wine with the same kit you linked and I think I need some help. Specifically after you find the starting gravity and close the wine in the bucket to ferment, it seems like the lid you have is fairly airtight which allows the CO2 to show in the airlock. The bucket that came with the wine kit is not airtight and has many gaps along the lip of the lid. I’m on my 7th day and I’m not seeing any gas released at all in the airlock and am quite worried about the possibility of this wine oxidizing. Is it normal for the bucket itself to not be airtight? I know it’s not fully airtight given that you need the airlock but not seeing any gas in the airlock is rather worrying. Thank you for any and all help, the first batch of wine is presumably the most anxiety inducing 😭🙏🏼

[@veganhippiesol]

@@morganholt2749 hi! It needs to be air tight. I have the same one linked and mine is air tight. Did it ferment at all?

[@morganholt2749]

I believe it is fermenting, at least it smells like it is and I can see the bubbles. Not sure if I got a faulty lid, I know some other buyers on Amazon said something similar. If I were to go out and buy another bucket for brewing wine, do you think I’d be able to transfer this batch despite that it’s been exposed to air for the last week or would it be best to simply start over?

[@jzycaramel]

Can you share where you got everything? Maybe a link on where to buy all the items you need to get started. I can tell this is going to be my new hobby but I wanna know if this new hobby will run me $100-$200 to get started

[@veganhippiesol]

Hi, yes I linked it in the description for you. 😀

[@jzycaramel]

@@veganhippiesolyes!! Ty Ty ty!!!

[@SmileyYvette]

Are the strawberries in syrup? Do you have a simple syrup recipe?

[@veganhippiesol]

The strawberries are not in syrup. I froze them and then let them defrost and that’s where the extra liquid comes from. I show you how to make simple syrup in the video. You just need equal parts sugar and water. 😊

[@jasaniserobinson4320]

So we do nothing on day 3 just leave it and then day 4 add it to the clear bottle?

[@veganhippiesol]

@@jasaniserobinson4320 no, you do nothing after day three and just leave it to finish fermenting. Fermentation take 7-14 days

[@DevinaJames]

Im glad I read this comment and replied. I was assuming the same thing ​@veganhippiesol

[@mrsshyanee8760]

Ngl I have questions and I’m 5mins in. The strawberry’s in the bag what’s the liquid ??

[@veganhippiesol]

@@mrsshyanee8760 nothing wrong with having questions. I think I explained in the video though I don’t remember..I’ll have to watch it back. But when you freeze something and defrost, there’s typically leftover liquid. It’s pretty normal. It’s juices from the fruit and water from freezing. Totally normal..

[@Yahawah_]

Loved the video!❤ Just a word of advice, turn the gain down on your microphone, because it was too loud the whole video. There was a lot of hissing that distracted from what you were saying. Other than that the video was perfect. Thanks❤

[@veganhippiesol]

@@Yahawah_ thank you so much! I will do that next time

[@AuthenticallyFonze]

8:50 What's in the sanitation bottle that you sprayed?

[@veganhippiesol]

Same sanitizer I just pour some in a spray bottle because it’s easier to sanitize

[@veganhippiesol]

Sanitizer and water

[@AuthenticallyFonze]

@veganhippiesol LOL I figured it out once I watched the video back twice..thanks for your reply

[@TheCoCoKC]

Could you use Triple Sec instead of Simple Syrup? Or both? Lol

[@veganhippiesol]

No due to the preservatives that are in the Triple Sec. The yeast will have a hard time breaking it down and it can also create botulism.
