based on your latest YouTube link, I am challenging you to make us some homemade wine. I know you got it in you. Something good like muscadine wine. In all your travels & experiences, there is no doubt in my mind that you have done this before, so stop holding out on us.

You know Capt ~ I have been thankin' 'bout doin' just that !!!



QuackConsumers brought us some of the finest wine a feller good drank at the CaddoFunRun .... but I thank his recipe is alittle complicated.

I'm totally against homemade liquor .... but I thank wine is awright !!!!

Do anybody gots a reciepe thats not all that complicated ????

You will need :1 10gal glass jug
1 old crock
5gal bucket of fruit
cork and blooper for glass jug
25# bag of sugar
Wash your fruit and throw any rotten ones out, crush your fruit. bust every berry/grape/watermellon/plumb...so on. Allow to fermit in a covered clay crock (or something similar...I use an old t-shirt for the cover If one fruit fly gets into the mix it can contaminate the batch. it won't make you sick but it won't taste good) at a consistent temp for 7 days. on the 7th day filter w/fine cheese cloth.count your gallons of syrup and add that many gallons of water to the mix. after you mix your water add 2# sugar per gallon of juice. mix until the sugar is desolved. Place juice into a large glass jug w/cork and blooper. Let sit for 90days at a pretty consistant temp (I like the closet every now and then you can get a smell out of the blooper,but don't open or shake the bottle) after 90+ days it is ready to bottle. very smooth and sweet. if you don't like it that sweet then cut back on the #of sugar per gallon of juice. Bottle and enjoy cold well that's how i like it. Last batch was Jap plumb.. Went down wayyyyyyyy tooooo smooth then kicked ya in the a$$

Will it be screw top or box wine Brooks!!!

This dude I made cabinets for gave me bottle of scuppernong wine he made, I just sipped the neck full and it had me feeling very warm and fuzzy. It tasted better than any drink I think I ever had in my life, alcoholic or not. He makes peach, strawbery, watermelon, all kinds, but he can't sell it by law, just makes it for friends and such.

Intresting.... So no yeast is needed???? I may have to try dis method.[/quote]

Nope fust the fermentation and the sugar creats the fussy warm feeling stuff

Corn wine is fantastic

I have a friend of mine who makes more wine than you can imagine. What ever fruit is in season is the batch that he is working on. He makes hundreds of gallons of wine from each fruit. I get two or three bottles a week and have a taste or two on my days off. Right now I am cracking some grape and watermelon wine. He is a pro at wine making. His wine is much sought after locally because its smooth, nice taste and not some fruit flavored whiskey rendered from a old whiskey barrel. I would prefer some dry red wine but his will do.
