Finally going to make this today

[@HowToDoneRight]

You will love it. Lol

[@crh3401]

Going to use 1/4 brown sugar. Thoughts?

[@HowToDoneRight]

I love the idea. For me it would be about color change. Will it alter the color of your wine. Will it be brown instead of the bright Red I show you. I would not risk it unless do on small batch scale to test it. I know people for banana wine they use brown sugar so it will work.

[@brianguerin8280]

Already added this to my list. Looked amazing

[@HowToDoneRight]

Let me tell you..... it may be the best wine I ever had. You got to do it. 🍌🍓🍌🍓🍌🍓

[@jamesfino7962]

I've got to try it!

[@danaisbell5452]

Hello. I love learning to make wine watching your videos. I have a question on this video. You say set wine back for 30-45 days. Is this two separate times or just 1 time? Sorry I’m a dummy from Alabama. Thanks for making these videos

[@HowToDoneRight]

Thats between rackings. You will want to do multiple rackings each wine will be different. Generally 2 to 3 rackings is sufficient.

[@brentweiss1244]

Hey Todd and Laura, I finished the Strawberry wine about 3 weeks ago and it is tasty! Question for you: How do I make wine without getting the white diamonds in it. I know it is from the tartrates. But, some of my wines have this in them when they are absolutely clear when I bottle.

[@HowToDoneRight]

First off it is normal to get these and completely safe to drink. Most of the time they stay in liquid form. If your wine gets very cold or you are cold crashing your wine that most likely will form. I never have had these but I am sure there will be a first. 😁 This article will help explain a little more if interested. vinepair.com/wine-blog/what-the-heck-are-tartrates-and-do-they-signal-that-something-is-wrong-with-the-wine/

[@HowToDoneRight]

100 percent it may be my new favorite. In fact I want to do a video on adding banana to any fruit which is what I might do to all my personal wines. Number one it really gets clear and adds a smoothness to the wine in my opinion.

[@StonerSmurfin]

Does the amount of yeast matter? I mean if you want to buy it in bulk. I understand that it would take longer if you use less and faster if you use more but would the yeast be able to eat all the sugar if you happen to use to little?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Oh yeah. The amount of yeast is really not important.

[@gennyt.1306]

I have a 5 gallon food grade bucket. Would it be OK to combine the 3 gallon recipe and the 1 gallon recipe to make 4 gallons in the 5 gallon bucket? Please let me know your thoughts on this.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Oh yeah thats no problem for fermenting... just have to decide how your going to put in secondary 4 gallons of wine.. must be carboys... hopefully you have a 3 gallon and 1 gallon carboy.

[@gennyt.1306]

Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge and wisdom you and Laura have learned. I’ve been watching your videos, taking notes, And feel like I’m ready to start! We even went and bought our strawberries and organic bananas this morning. Now I’m just waiting for the bananas to get nice and ripe! I am so jazzed!!!

[@HowToDoneRight]

I can't wait for you to get started. You are going to do fabulous and you will be amazed how homemade wine tastes. I've been told Many times it's the best wine people have ever had. Keep me posted. 🍷🍷

[@jamiegaudet6008]

what made you decide on using bentonite instead of the super-kleer for this wine?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Bentonite is my go to. I Use super kleer for stubborn wine. Lol

[@TheRealdeel73]

you are degassing when you are stirring the bentonite in technically right? because as you stir those gasses are being released.

[@HowToDoneRight]

That's correct. I state that in many of my videos.

[@byrds_view]

How much bentonite is needed for 1 gallon of wine. It doesn't say it on the pack. The directions are only for a 5 gallon.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Just divide by 5. Each bentonite type may be different but you can't put to much in either. Will have no effect on taste.

[@goldiegirl6705]

Isn't adding your sugar and water to backsweeten it watering down your ABV % ?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Not enough to make a difference.

[@christianhudson6493]

I started this recipe yesterday and right away the potential alcohol was 12 (everything in the bucket) Now today after the fruit soaked in the ingredients it seemed to go up. Would I let that go or add water to bring it back down to 12 before I add the yeast?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Just let it go. You will be adding water through the racking process.

[@christianhudson6493]

Is that because the fruit breaking down and releasing sugars? Now what if it’s higher than the yeast is good for?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Sugars in fruit do not add to abv very minimal. Don't panic. Stick to the recipe and it will be amazing.

[@Aceuvnone]

Why do you lay downthe bottles?.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Keep the corks moist and prevent them from cracking and keeps Oxygen out.

[@RobbieHicks-pi4fp]

Why does wine need to be in the darkness to clear .

[@HowToDoneRight]

You never want to keep your wine in direct sunlight. That's why wine is stored in cellars. You can also just cover it with a towel.
