Thank you Platt. Your video is really informative and answered all questions that other videos rose in my mind.

My pleasure.

Platt R, You can use citric acid to pH your product. If you want a stronger watermelon flavor use 2 watermelons and juice down and filter. Add spring water to 1.5 gallons. Simmer down to 1 gallon liquid. Basically making a concentrate. Take gravity reading and use raw unrefined sugar to bring up to desired gravity.

@thefatcockshow7628 5 лет назад

I just recanted my first pruno batch today I let mine sit slightly longer and as it took time to ferment i took time to watch more of your how to videos and a few other peoples as well the one gentleman that I watched said that apples are naturally high in yeast so when making apple pruno should I use less yeast?

@PlattR 5 лет назад

You really don't need to adjust the yeast. If you buy your apples at the store, most likely any yeast on the skin has been washed off.

WHAT'D MAKE A BETTER WINE IF WE USE THE CHAMPAGNE YEAST?

@PlattR 3 года назад

Champagne yeast will give you a good, clean fermentation but your wine will be a little dry.

@cruzer49 Год назад

Great video but does the heat do anything for the watermelon, or can I use a juicer?

@PlattR Год назад

You could use a juicer if you like.

@solowolf707 3 года назад

@PlattR 3 года назад

They would probably work.

@petratubbs4853 3 года назад

I happen to have a juicer, soooo is it ok to use the juicer to get the juice?

@PlattR 3 года назад

that works just fine

@charzard8880 Год назад

should I put the wine yeast or the yeast I want after the acid and nutrients or before? Also I heard you need to let Air in but not let it out, is that true and how do you did with this recipe? Also you said 2 weeks in primary and 6 weeks in secondary what does that mean as well? I'm new to this sorry XDD

@PlattR Год назад

Put in the yeast last. You want your fermenter to release the CO2 that is being produced but not let in oxygen. Basically after two weeks you will transfer the liquid into another fermenter while leaving the dead yeast on the bottom of the original container. This helps clear your wine.

@buckman2170 3 года назад

Can you use juice that has been frozen? I'm planning to grow my own melons but can't guarantee that we will get multiple ripe melons at once and our refrigerator can't store multiple melons waiting for more to ripen. So can I juice then freeze them, then start the process once I have enough juice?

@PlattR 3 года назад

That should work just fine. I have made several batches from concentrate.

@leokelley6356 Год назад

I use a strawberry watermelon juice in a 2qt bottle you buy at the store take two cup of juice out add a cup and a half of sugar to it and a half top of bread yeast and it cone out amazing usally around 18%

@aestheticblight833 5 лет назад

I tried your amazon storefront link and it didn't work. Then i accidentally put an period at the end of it and when I used that link it worked. I don't know why it's doing that and maybe it's just me but clicking your link didn't work, only copy pasting your link and adding an extra period worked

@PlattR 5 лет назад

Yeah, I thought that was wierd that they added the period. Thanks for clicking though.

@JesusChrist-ot4kg 2 года назад

can you do this without yeast nutrient and acid blend?

@PlattR 2 года назад

You don't need the acid blend but you do need the yeast.

@dexterholder7057 3 года назад

Hi everyone I'm new to wine making and now trying to get a feel of things. Do you need to use campden tablets with this mix ? If yes when and how is the best time to add them

@PlattR 3 года назад

I didn't use them in the batch. You don't have to use them. You would add in Campden tablets before fermentation and let it sit for 24 hours.

A good month plus

@@PlattR thanks for the feedback! I have a bit of air space between the surface of my wine and the top of the carboy. I checked on it this morning, and am still seeing air bubbles in the airlock (although slow). Is this extra airspace bad for the wine or final product?

@PlattR 3 года назад

@@matthewahlberg4896 As long as its not excessive, you should be fine.

@matthewahlberg4896 3 года назад

@@PlattR thanks. Looking at it, looks about a quarter - half gallon worth of air space. It’s been in its second fermentation for about a month and a half and is looking pretty good. Fermentation seems to have slowed down a bit. Do you think the flavor will be off? If so, no big deal. Learning experience for me

@PlattR 3 года назад

@@matthewahlberg4896 Fermentation should be slowing. At this point, the yeast is starting to die off but those dead yeast cells will absorbs certain by-products of fermentation. This will actually help the flavor.

@tillmancorbett6694 4 года назад

What is secondary

@PlattR 4 года назад

Secondary fermentation. Its basically moving the liquid into another container. This removes the liquid from the dead yeast and also helps switch the yeast into a different phase which creates different chemical reactions.

A little tip you should blend it in the blender and then pour through a metal strainer and you'll have less solid the deal with then you can pour through cheesecloth as well the pope actually slows down the fermentation process

@ARCSTREAMS 3 года назад

shame you dont show the end result, does it change color? does it still have a melon sweet taste? 130gp is like 17% alc that is nuts ,should be 12% max and the rest sugar but you dont talk about halting fermentation

@MrSquirter7 4 года назад

I first watched Mr. Platt and I used apple juice instead of grape. As of now I have probably made over 50 2 qt. bottles(or an occasional gallon) of it! I live in Florida and it is now July, HOT! Time for a change of flavor! So... I am thinking watermelon? I saw a strawberry video... ? Any thoughts on a really good fruit tasting flavor would B very much helpful and appreciated! People LOVE my apple! NO complaints! THANKS PLATT!!
