I'm so glad I found your video..I'm about to make me some for sure. We've got plenty of muscadines to work with this year. Already made 40 jars of jelly..turned out so good! Can't wait to taste that wine!!
Dude!!!! Love it! Omg so glad you put this out here bc I kept watching some other folks…they all had chemicals and powders they was puttin in theirs. I just wanted it to be simple, southern and good! Very nice job!!! I got my yeast n bucket n pillow cases im just waiting on the muscadine to ripen up! Excited!!! Oh yeah, Do you seal the jars up? I know jars gotta be clean so u just use dish soap or something else?? I can prep the jars like I would if I was canning. Put them on the stove and boil them out I guess?? Thanks again for the video! Conehatta Mississippi thanks you too!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. All I do is clean my jars and put the wine in them and put them straight in a cool place or fridge. The cold makes it stop working. Then it normally never last long. People love it to much.. 😁
When you said pillowcase I thought you lost your mind. Turns out to be a great idea. I've been making wine at home for a couple of years and it gets better every batch. I'm still learning but the only thing I would do differently is to use a yeast nutrient it doesn't have that terrible smell when you open for secondary fermentation. I will try this method this summer.
Cheese cloth works the best but the pillow case will get it done.. I was told the recipe many years ago from an old man and it’s always turned out good.. I used to use bread yeast but this year I tried the wine yeast and it done a lot better and made it taste the best.. Good luck to you this summer..
I put my muscadines in 1 gallon ziplock bags and freeze them, when you take them out and thaw them they mash very easy. Wonder what a quart goes for now-a-days?
I’ve never tried it that way. I’ve always picked them and done my wine right then.. I think I give around $5 a gallon when I get them from my local vineyard.
What? Hell down here in Southeast AL, I can’t even find anyone who wants them for free!! Well expect for 1 lady friend of my moma’s. Years ago my Dad planted several vines all the way down the back property line. So we have tons & tons of them & they pretty much all go to waste each year.
Awesome Video and can’t wait to make some I did have one question is the second fermentation necessary or does it make it better? I’ve Never made wine before and this looks like the recipe I wanna try.
@@roostersworld8053 well I look forward to the next wine video partner. Thanks again! Oh btw after you ferment it a second time and add your sugar, did you have to back sweeten it? Or did it finish sweet?
Oh and can you do a third ferment? Will it be stronger? And last question… i’ve got muscadine and scones growing in the same little area. I wonder how it would taste to combo the pair?? Ever tried making it with scuppernongs??
I’ve never tried Doing it a third time. As long as you added more sugar it should work again. Yes I’ve made it with scuppernongs. It was also very good.
What’s the shelf life of muscadine wine? We’ve got tons of them growing in the mountains here in Oklahoma. I want to try this recipe but I’d like to bottle them and save it for when friends come to visit.
@@roostersworld8053 I made some muscadine grape jelly one year, and I handled them without gloves and the next day I couldn’t hardly touch anything. My hands were so burnt. 🤦♀️
