I’ve made about 8 containers of this wine and I have to say that it’s pretty darn good. The first 3 I put 1 1/2 cups of sugar with the yeast and it bubbled for about 2 and a half weeks and then I waited another week and a half and tasted it. I was surprised of how strong it was. The next 5 I used only 1 cup of sugar and it was perfect for my husband and I. We drink wine often and this stuff is better then buying it at the store! Omg! No headaches and taste great! Thanks paw paw for the recipe. I already have my twin sister hooked on it!
Some people just ain’t wired into them ole country ways pawpaw. They make it too complicated. I appreciate the videos. Cheers to good health. My grandma used to make the same wine but I couldn’t remember how she did it until I saw your original video. She always went with the ole saying, “If it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it”. Thank you pawpaw for bringing back an old tradition.
Don’t stop making these vids!! I don’t have netflix and this is so much better!!!! Just started trying a bottle of juice it’s bubbly away as I write this!! I found a warm place in Canada!!!!!😂
I never made wine before until I started watching your videos. Now I'm a professional at making great wine. Better than store bought. Thanks PawPaw. All stores have wine making kits. Juice, yeast, and sugar. That's all.
Well, my first batch of wine has stopped bubbling... It will be ready in a week...just in time for us to spend our first night in our new home! The perfect way to celebrate! And we'll be tasting it Live! I can't wait!! Thank you again for sharing some of your amazing wisdom!
PAW PAW You have opened a whole new world for me, and it is CHEAP and FUN FUN FUN!!!!! Haven't made a bad batch yet. I haven't looked at the juice isle the same since!! Thank you!
Been making this pretty regularly now and I have to say it's been a big hit. I've tried all sorts of variations in juice and sugar amounts and would say that cran-raspberry at about 1.5 cups of sugar is a family favorite. In fact it was so good I got a special request to make a case for my brothers wedding. Thank you for your videos and know that I'll keep sipping in honor of PawPaw. Cheers
That’s great! I’m going to be making my first ever batch over the next few weeks. Will be using Turbo Yeast for increased ABV%. Then I should have strong wine that can be mixed with lemonade, sparkling water etc. May make different flavours with sloe berries and blackberries, as they are currently in season and growing wild. Congratulations to your Brother and his Wife. 😁🙏🏼
Hey PawPaw!!! This is the EASIEST AND FASTEST FOOL PROOF method I've ever seen on RU-vid. You have provided the basic recipe, now one can play with it as they may. I won't start experimenting until my batch is completed. I made my first batch right along with you as you gave instructions. I will definitely let you know how it turns out in a month.Thanks so much!!!
Dear Paw Paw (i have subscribed btw) I have always wanted to make my own wine, but couldn't be bothered with all of the paraphenalia, nor could afford it. I live in France and the wine used to be cheap….I am inspired and will be starting my wine, to your recipe, tomorrow.. I love you ….Vee x
Hi Pawpaw, After watching many of your vdeos and a few of other people's videos on making wine I decided to try your method cause I also like doing it cheap. I went to Aldi's for my 100%juice ( grape and apple) and followed your instructions. Waited a month and then racked it once through a fine mesh strainer. Chilled and tasted. OMG, delicious. I could not check the alcohol content but I can tell you it has plenty enough for me. The grape is excellent, the apple still has 2 more weeks. I can't wait to try other juices. Thanks for all your information and from one vet to another, thank you for your service.
Not only have you taught me much, but makes me smile, laugh, and reminds me talking and relaxing with some uncle's n aunt's of mine. Great information, great feel good feelings and laughs. Thanks again
I love you Paw Paw, and I'm getting schooled by watching your videos.. I just decided to look up how to make homemade wine today. Thank thank the good lord, that I clicked on your video.. Your the best.. Sandi from Inman South Carolina..
I made a batch of wine with welches grape juice. I let it sit for a month ( I just wanted to make sure) then I took it out and tasted it, I loved it and I am not a wine drinker. I gave some to my son and he said " That's good...that's REAL good. Needles to say it did not last long. going to have to make some more. I just wanted to thank you for sharing you're recipe.
I watch all your videos paw paw and this one reminded me to rack the 5 gallons of welch's white made from concentrate batch i had put together 1 month 2 the day .. thanks for reminding me. I did use dry wine yeast but my first batches i used bakers yeast and it was good. I just picked up some wine makers dry yeast cause i like dry wine WOW .. I do use your basic recipe and it works. Great video everyone... BY ....im having some now. i never talk this much . thanks paw paw...
Hey Paw Paw, been making beer and wine for years. Now I do it your way. Making wine should be easy. You have taken all the work out of it and made it fun again.
Thanks Paw Paw. That’s what I called my grandfather. I like the simplicity of your wine recipe. Started my first batch 2 days ago. Yes I had to look today. I know you said done look but I had too and it’s bubbling, so I can relax and just wait out the 4 weeks. To think I could have bought a wine making kit for $100 but instead it turns out to be just a measuring cup, measuring spoon and funnel. Most people already have these items in their kitchen. Thanks again, cause I like doing cheap.
Made wine for years and it was such a faf i gave up 10 years ago i purchased some wine yeast the other day with a view to get back into it, now i have found your videos i will be trying it within the next couple of days, keep it up great work. Thanks
hey pawpaw! I tried your recipe and I have 4 liters in my closet, tried it with 2 things of 1 liter of grape juice and 2 things of 1 liter of apple, can’t wait for it to be finished! thanks so much for this :)
I started my first batch on the 15th at my house but I can't help it I have to peek in and look at it bubbling...so I went over my mothers and made 2 more... even taught my little nephew how to make it ... My mama came in and saw us shaking the bottles up and thought we had lost our minds lol ...but it was sure fun teaching him how to make it. Thanks again PawPaw!!!
Hey paw paw I need to tell you something my first bottle of wine got done today, and it is fabulous. I just wanted to tell you that. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, Paw Paw, I saw your video a while ago and decided to make your recipe using red grape juice. It came out great!! Thanks for doing it cheap and keeping it simple.
My only advice to others is that some juices don't ferment in standard fashion with certain brands of yeast. That does NOT mean it's not fermenting, however. Walmart Great Value grape juice did not fizz/bubble like you'd expect with fleishmanns rapid rise yeast, but a month later I had wine. The same yeast actually fizzled immediately with old orchard apple juice. And for days at that. Should be done next week or so. Either way, follow the dang recipe.
Thank you sir for your warmth and for sharing your knowledge with us new bees. The finer points about wine clarity are some observations which will help us decide when the wine is really ready to drink. Good health to you sir !
I'm a veteran. I learned how to follow instructions long ago. All anyone has to do is follow your instructions and they will make a perfect wine. I made the two containers of frozen grape concentrate and I loved it. I have another batch bubbling on my water heater now. I am going to try frozen apple concentrate next. If I want the same sweetness should I still use the full 3 1/2 cups of sugar or should I use less? Thank you for taking the time to make these videos I really appreciate it.
I think the grape is naturally sweeter than apple. I have steered away from the concentrate and gone to the two quart bottles. Making three gives you four (from the two cups you pour out of the first three).
I made 2 small batches of wine, one was apple, and the other was welche's they both were good, although the Welche's was better in my opinion and my friend's. I tortured him until he tasted it...lol, he told me that it was definitely the best. So I thank you for getting me up off my fat old lazy butt and making some wine. for my new batch I am using Tree Top...I like it because it says on the label 'ingredients' apple juice'
Omg, I love you. You make me think so much of my Pawpaw! 😂 You crack me up. I have made my first batch of wine following your instructions. It's not bad at all! A little bitter, but still yummy. I'm having a glass while the baby naps! ...."had to use it as a marinade on chicken." 🤣
Well I had a coupon for juice at local store couldn't wait to get started so last week I started them. Definitely bubbling and working. Also got some cherry cider going cant wait till December to try them.
John.T here from Sydney Australia tried your cheap homemade wine 3-4 yrs ago worked first time no problems got about 16-18 % alcohol using normal bread yeast. Yes it was good. Also made your peculiar wine and mead. Keep up the good work.
Hey PawPaw. Love your wine making videos. I have found that time is the best cook - I made some grape juice wine with your recipe and left it 4 weeks. Then I racked it into other bottles and left it for 2 more months. It turned our perfect, clear, and tastes a lot better than the ones I only waited 3 week. OK it is summer here so temps gets high.
I have 4 bottles going for about 6 nights and I'm checking in for bubbles every night too, checking the temp in the house, checking and rechecking the caps to make sure they're loose enough to let the gas out but not to loose.....Feels like I'm a new father all over again checking on my babies😜
I did that for first 2 weeks too. Really hard not to on first time around. Have another week and half to go now. Haven’t been checking on it anymore. Hope it still ok
So the 3.5 gllns that i put together about 4 hrs ago is working HARD already. The only thing i did different was the juice was pretty warm this time cause i set it on the back deck for a couple hrs. Either way its happening now ! Thank you for your videos and your replies to me. Keep recording and makin and drinkin that wine !
I love the comment about the gentleman who checked on the wine and watched it bubble every evening! I did that when I made my first batch according to your recipe about 2 years ago. 🤣🤣🤣.
@@DoingItCheap you DRUNKARD!! Hahahaha! I'm joking Mr. PawPaw. I just saw your video where you were saying some old bag called you a drunkard and I couldn't resist. Sorry. I want you to know how much of a blessing you and the info/insight/advice/opinions you share are to me and many others out there. You've restored my faith in humanity by simply existing and having the courage to be yourself whether anybody else likes it or not. Given this current state of society, what with all these "politically correct/social justice warrior" type jagaloons heehawing around everywhere trying to insinuate their rules on people, folks like you are getting harder to come by. Seems to me like the world has become full of cowards that have just rolled over and let these fools run the show and I for one am a total outcast in these parts because I'm having none of it and it warms my heart to see that somebody else out there ain't playing that shit either! Don't ever let them get to you, sir. I was mostly raised by my grandma (I had an old grandma compared to everyone else, she was born in 1922) and I learned everything from her and especially now that I'm an adult- I can't tell you how grateful I am for her wisdom and insight! I'm nothing like anyone my age and have sense enough to be glad about that! God bless you, sir, and much love to you and yours from West Kentucky 💙
Cool Beans! Yessir! Here's my plan. While my 5 gallon bucket of chokecherry wine is bubblin, I'm gonna make one jug of this every Friday for a month or more. Maybe longer, who knows - Just date every jug or paper bag so I know.
Well...I tested both my wines (chokecherry and the original batch of Grape juice wine) and near as I can tell with my hydrometer and science, the chokecherry wine is about 14% alcohol and the grape juice wine is about 6.5%.... the chokecherry wine is so dry it's disgusting, but the grape stuff is almost too sweet
Pawpaw i can not wait to try making this. It sounds yummy and you have made it easy to make. Will let you know how it turns out when it done. have a great day.
My husband has been raising papayas and we have made over 100 pint of jam. and at least 9 gallons of blended papaya in the freezer. Well Johnny wanted to see if he could make wine out of it. We used a 5 gallon glass jug .10 lbs of papaya and 10 lbs of sugar . It had been processing for about a month when one of our daughters passed . We didn't bother with it for another month when we try it. Man was it strong . I could not taste the papaya but who cared it is Good. I used your recipe for the quart jar and I loved it.
Hello Paw Paw! I know this video is a few years old but I have been binge watching all your wine videos because I was ready to jump in and get started and wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing. The first video, of yours, that I ever saw (it was a good while back)was the one that I have heard you refer back to about mixing it with the stick and using water hose water ... I mean to tell you ... I subscribed on the spot!!! I knew I had found someone I could relate with!! Anyway... I don’t have any questions, I just wanted to say hello and say that just for “shits and giggles” I have started a “Most Peculiar” batch of wine (or alcohol wash/base) and a white grape and I am setting it aside and leaving it alone for a month!!! I promise.. no peaking!! Wait... I changed my mind... I did want to ask you.. after watching all your wine videos and different experiments ... I’m just curious .. what is your favorite juice base?
This work great. I made juice ice cubes with what was poured off. Going to start another batch tomorrow. After looking up the recipe again I think I only used a 1/4 tsp of yeast. It still worked. I will adjust it this time. Thanks a bunch.
Oh my Paw Paw you were Dynamite I love your Channel keep up the good work we don't give a damn about the negative Sayers you're doing an excellent job Dan from Michigan
I started with 3, well technically 4 I got a Concord grape, cranberry grape, and apple. Cos I poured out the extra juice I had enough to make another wine in an empty glass juice, I rinsed it out I hope it’ll be steril enough 😅 that’ll be the mystery wine. Started a week ago. 2 of the jugs are 1 qt and just cut the recipe in half. I’ll keep everyone updated 😀
Thank you for sending me here from your live feed! If I can make sweet wine, I'm going to have one happy wife. I am throwing our all other advice I have gotten and going to try it your way.
If I can make sweet wine, I’ll be happy my own self. That’s the only kind I like and I’m so tired of buying bottles of wine, taking one drink of it and having the rest go to vinegar. Can’t wait to try it. Not fool proof because so many fools can’t do it! lolol
Thank you Paw Paw, my sister brought some Oak Leaf Sangria, and I got me a glass,yuk compared to the wine I made thanks to you. No comparison. Your wine us the best
When you did the voices at the beginning I laughed out loud hahahaha. Your videos are really great and you are an awesome dude! Thanks for everything. Cheers!
Just love you to death! Such a character. You are a blessing. Thank you for the recipe. Momma and daddy made grape wine for the grapes in the back yard. But these with juice are so much easier. Thank you again. Love and great respect from the North Georgia Mountains. ❤️❤️❤️
Pawpaw I drank my apple wine (just a glass🍷 ) after a week right out of the jug when it was still cloudy I couldn't wait.. it's a good thing I made two batches haha... It is STRONG! and it's still bubbling xD I should really wait until it's clear and all the sediment settles down.. I'm so impatient hahahaha These are my first batches, I learned alot in this video so Im confident my next batch will be pawpaw approved! I admit.i kept opening it to smell it.. when you said that can potentially make vinegar instead I freaked out.. luckily my wine Is still sweet... I'll leave it alone for 3more weeks and hopefully it comes out proper if I didn't already mess the process up! Thank you pawpaw!
just tasted alittle of the first batch i made with cran grape juice, you were right about the wine makers yeast holy crap strong stuff lol. Ill be trying the bakers yeast next iam sure it will be better for daily use lol But very happy how it turned out. Made a batch with apple juice its dead calm like stale coffee will give it a taste tomorrow.
oh damn.. i already made my first apple wine " still in the making " just before watching this video!! well, hell, i will be making another 1.8L batch of maybe grape or berries with local yeast available and will do exactly what you just did in the video .. Cant wait to see the result !
Oh wow ! the apple wine is already bubbling ! i just turned the cup a little loose so the bottle wont blow up lol, even the smell of it is pretty yummy two!! will make another batch in an hour 😍
I just started my first one. Wine..A few min ago. . Am going to do one a day so I don't have to drink all that juice lol. Strawberry watermelon.. wish me luck.useing paw paw quick recipe.
Hello Paw Paw, excellent video. I Just made my first two batches of wine the “Paw Paw’” way. Gosh I can’t wait unit I can taste it in about 3-4 weeks. Happy Holiday and thank you very much for sharing your love of wine making with the world. Kudos2U ❣️❣️😯😯😯🍷🍷🍷🎅🎅🦋🦋🦋🍷🍷🍷🍷🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅
When in the Poky we would use pizza crust to get our yeast, and we made it in a trash bag... since then I like making it the way you do... everybody I know loves it...
Paw Paw, Im a new subscriber and loving every minute. Im setting up my first batch, and as Im drinking my 2 cups extra juice from white grape and peach. . .the exact words come out of your mouth. . .white grape and peach juice. . .I loved it. I have same glasses on your table and I think is a good sign that Im on right track. Love videos and keep up good work. Im looking forward to getting one of your shirts.
Paw Paw...your "Most Peculiar Wine" is my first run...with home made bakers yeast. We'll see how it goes...? If it don't work...I'll get some store bought yeast when I can afford it. Wish me luck!
Thank you paw paw for taking taking the time to help us out I been trying different way to make wine but you simplified it to a way anyone can understand and for that I thank you I just sub to your channel I am just put together my first batch of you recipe.
Thanks again paw paw finally a recipe and simple explanation that's works I went in the closet to get some cat food and caught a glimpse of it bubbling like crazy.
This does work great & I think u answered my question on the other post to. Think, I tired & jumped rushing it abit last time. I'll wait & let it turn out fully this time. Before my next steps.
