How to Make your own Wine from Store Bought Grape Juice at Home using Bread Yeast! Yes, you can make wine at home with bread yeast. Can you use other yeasts? Sure, but they won't work the same in this exact recipe! It's science.
No, this is not "inmate wine" or "prison wine" or Pruno or anything close to that. This is just a basic red wine that anyone can brew at home. Before you start thinking this is any less "real wine" than others... what is wine made from? Grape juice, skins, yeast, water and sometimes added sugar. Take the skins out, it's white wine. Sure, ours will be red because the juice makers add dye (even though it's not in the ingredients!), but in the end, it's the same process as the big time wineries. Concord Grape isn't the most commonly used varietal for wine, but there are some that use it, and this wine tastes a lot like those brands, Manischewitz comes to mind. The flavors are fruity, sweet and light. A friend described it as "Grape juice with alcohol", and she loves it.
We made a page all about what GEAR you need for Brewing, have a look: www.city-stead...
Using Aldi grape juice and bread yeast with some plain white sugar, watch Brian show you how to make the wine his friends call, "the best wine I've ever had". No kidding.
It comes out sweet, not dry, and it's ready to drink in just a couple of weeks! You gotta try this one.

I was inspired by this video, so I bought some airlocks and a cheap jug of apple juice. I had some redstar bread yeast from a couple years back when I was gonna attempt this but never did. However I got excited hearing people supportive of this way of making wine instead of all the wine snobs saying it's "junk" if not done their way. I was shocked how fast the yeast started to make the air lock bubble which was about 10-15 mins after I pitched it. I however did use some wine nutrients a day after it started to bubble which turned my air lock in to a geyser. Then proceeded to burn through sugar in 4 days including the first. It's still the 4th day and I'm drinking it and I'm shocked just how strong it is. Thanks for the inspiration.

If you only have 1 funnel, you can add the sugar first, then go ahead and add half the juice. The juice washes out any residue sugar out of your funnel.

@pjad20 4 года назад

I might be a little late (where I am, the lockdown is still going and I'm still brewing) but you can use the plastic bottle that the juice comes in to brew in. Or any plastic bottle/jar that is food safe. Food safe ones don't allow oxygen to get in and hence are safe to brew. Yes, glass is ideal but good safe plastic bottles work really well. (Best ones are bigger soda/coka cola bottles or water gallons). Plus you don't have to sterilize when you brew in the juice bottles because inside it already is a sterile environmental.

@@CitySteadingBrews one thing i have not figure out is how you know the potential of alcohol content

@CitySteadingBrews 6 лет назад

We have a video coming out about that actually. But, you add up all your sugars and there's formulas to help. White sugar is about .046 gravity per pound per gallon of must. Honey is about .035 gravity per pound per gallon of must. You add whatever you've put in together, add for the fruit or whatever juice you used, and you get an approximate starting gravity. Using a hydrometer, you can verify that. Then, you figure out where you want or think the fermentation will stop. Subtract that gravity from your starting gravity and multiply the result by 131.25. BAM... ABV%.

I’m used to drinking Niagara, Concorde, or muscadine wines, I also like pintos. The white was a little cloudy, and during the racking there was a lot of foaming.

@CitySteadingBrews 5 лет назад

That's four questions but..... :) Yes you can adjust the final sweetness with less sugar. So you want enough sugar to hit yeast tolerance but not go past your preferred sweetness level. I like 1.030 for this wine, but say you wanted more like a 1.010, you just remove about half a pound of sugar from the recipe. You don't have to degas if you don't want to, but it takes a month or two to work itself out.

I am going to start trying some of your recipes, and with an eye towards prepping, I have a question. How long is yeasts shelf life? Do you have any storage instructions? Thank you!

@CitySteadingBrews 5 лет назад

Keep yeast in the fridge. As for shelf life... normally there's a use by date on the package. I've gone a few months and they were fine, and had others that were dead in a month.

@marcusoodian5603 4 года назад

Hi CS brews! Does this recipe work with honey instead of sugar for a cheap and easy pyment? Would it be as drinkable young as this is or would a mead require more ageing? You guys got me into homebrewing over a year ago and I love everything you do. Thanks!

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

You would need about 25% more honey and it will want some age.

@marcusoodian5603 4 года назад

@@CitySteadingBrews Thanks! Anyone know what is about using honey that requires meads needing more time?

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

Marcus Oodian it doesn’t ferment as cleanly and has lots more ingredients in it so it needs age.

3 gal Grape Juice 4 lbs White Sugar 1/4 C Orange Juice (Durring rehydration / Yeast Nutrient) 3 tsp Red Star Yeast OG= 1.103 (10/06) Bottle = 1.025 (10/23) (10.24% ABV) I WILL NEVER BUY WINE FROM THE STORE AGAIN {insert happy dance here}

@dillonmoore1105 9 месяцев назад

Do you still make it this way and over shoot the alchohol tolerance or do you pasturize and back sweeten now?

@CitySteadingBrews 9 месяцев назад

Haven't made it in a while but both methods work.

@dreissenstock8513 5 лет назад

The color it makes when you oxygenate it is amazing.

@Cluster-Duck 2 года назад

Have you ever tried making the same recipe but with different sugars to see what the taste diffrence is? example Basic white sugar or Domino Golden Sugar vs Sugar In The Raw, powdered sugar, brown sugar light and dark

@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад

Basic white and powdered are the same thing, some powdered has corn starch so I'd avoid that. Brown sugar has molasses added, and would take longer to age to taste good, and sugar in the raw is more like white once fermented really, but it's between white and brown sugar.

@U812GREEN 5 лет назад

Grape juice wine was my first fermentation. It's delicious mixed 50/50 with Sprite, 7up, slice. Very refreshing on a hot summer day, night or early morning

@russyates482 2 года назад

Have you guys ever used the vintner’s best juice concentrate Concord grape? If so how did it turn out, or is just as easy to use like Welch’s 100% juice? As you can tell I’m new to brewing and have a bunch of questions and I think you guys have a lot of those answers I need. Thanks for you time and I enjoy your videos.

@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад

Yes, in several of our recipes.

@shellzzz23 6 лет назад

I'm totally gonna try this sometime. Thanks for posting in time for the holidays! (I'm surprised your channel isn't much bigger than it is)

@krisredwood 6 лет назад

shellzzz23 gives us all a chance to have a dialogue though. So a win for us right now eh?

@CitySteadingBrews 6 лет назад

No matter how big, we will still respond to comments. That's why our channel grew as it has. As for why we're not bigger? Dunno, but I do know we posted our first video on March 2, 2018, so we're only 7 months old!

Wow that's impressive! Keep up the good work :-)

@wadedog4280 5 лет назад

I made this recipe with exact same juice and new yeast last Monday (8 days ago ) and I'm barely getting any bubbles in my airlock since day one. Room temp is around 65 °f . I didn't have a hydrometer to test sg. Is this normal ? When should I rack off lees ?

@DemonMage 6 лет назад

Q: why is a two pack of airlocks $5, while a four pack is $17 and a six pack $22? That is some crazy scaling on pricing. Usually it goes down when you buy more... right? I could buy four 2 packs and save $2. Very odd.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Sometimes, things don't make sense or cents. Alternative answer: must be a government run operation.

@Araak69 6 лет назад

@@saxonsoldier67 a square box is easier to cut out and fold, plus you can put the peeper and little tubs of garlic butter in the corners. I can't answer the air lock question.

@durzoblint1765 5 лет назад

Can organic concord grape juice be used to rehydrate and make a nutrient rich tea for yeast? Can this tea be added to a Mead must to help activate fermentation?

@CitySteadingBrews 5 лет назад

Sure but it will alter the flavor too.

@sues6847 4 года назад

ok, I started out watching dandelion recipes and somehow ended up on your channel....so happy that happened because you two are so down to earth and entertaining. Plus I appreciate all the questions you answered before I needed to ask them. You two are awesome!

@edaff5255 3 года назад

I'm just a beginner at winemaking...2 quick questions. SG reading before or after yeast is added? I've looked for white grape juice and every brand I've seen has potassium metabisulfite. Can I still use? TY

@CitySteadingBrews 3 года назад

Having sorbate means it might not ferment. You can try, but it's no guarantee. As for OG reading... either is fine so long as it's right as you're making it, don't wait a day then take a reading.

@thomasbailey4616 3 года назад

Can you replicate this process using other types of 100% juices? Example being pomegranate juice or black cherry juice?

@CitySteadingBrews 3 года назад

I've done several over the years, and they all work, but some work better than others. That particular juice works wonderfully.

@hollyortiz-fm6xv 11 месяцев назад

Tonight I decided to combine this recipe with wine tannin, and yeast nutrient. I did it in a 6.5 gallon bucket and ended up adding WAAAYYYYY too much sugar. But thanks to the knowledge I've learned (mostly from this channel) I was able to sanitize a 3 gallon fermenter quickly and add water. My OG went from a ridiculous 1.146 to 1.112. Thank you both so much!

@sherrymerrill1750 5 лет назад

Dry can be added after product complete add to glass your wine and a bit only of seven up or favorite soda and gives it pop if like what my mother called it growing up a wine "bubbly" yum I

@borttorbbq2556 5 лет назад

Smart trick 7up I think sprite would add more bubbly and next to no taste but idk

@adryawebb2556 3 года назад

I started a 1 gallon batch of this 2 weeks ago. It's still lightly fermenting. Do I cold crash it now despite it still bubbling?

@jaymaniak407 5 лет назад

Once the wine is done. What's the next step? Do you just strain it and drink it? And how do you store it? Im not sure if im supposed to put it in the fridge or how to stop it from fermenting more or spoiling.

Quick question how did you figure out the juice has 1 and 1/4 lbs of sugar? I’m trying to make wine with different juices and seems like I need to know that so I can decide how much sugar to add to get to my initial target gravity.
