Table Grape Wine Recipe. We used 21 pounds of table grapes from Costco to make wine. No added sugar, no honey, nothing. Just grapes! So, how did it go? There are those who would say you cannot make wine from table grapes. To them I say.... those who say a thing cannot be done need to get out of the way of those doing the thing!
Ingredients:
21 pounds of Costco Grapes
2 grams Fermaid O: amzn.to/3o40yq2

I have been making wine for many years from local muscadine grapes. I only smash the grapes and I don’t worry if some stems and leaves end up in there. That adds tannins

Aldi's has 750ml bottles of sparkling French lemonade in *really good* swing top bottles for $1.99. They're seasonal during the summer and this year I picked up a whole dozen. The labels and adhesive peel and wipe off after a 24 hour soak in a bucket of tap water, and they look gorgeous filled with just about any wine.

@eddavanleemputten9232 2 года назад

The foam in the juice made me chuckle. I’m not certain but I seem to remember someone working in the industrial food preparation field (with a doctorate in biochemistry) telling me a lot of the proteins, pectins etc get activated (?) by the centrifugal action and mixed with air, therefore getting largely caught in the foam. I did notice when tasting the foam of a lot of freshly extracted juices that it tends to be more bitter, probably because it also contains a lot of skin and fiber particulates. One thing I do know for certain: different juice extraction method = different flavour. I’ve tried steam extraction, squeezing and juicer extraction. All wildly different. Even though you did get the skins out, I’m thinking you probably did get some tannins from the skin because it stands to reason that the juicer did destroy the grape skin cell walls as well (hence some colour transfer as well) and it must have had some influence on your end product. I’m extremely curious about the 1-year and 2-year tastings of this one… and wish you’d oaked some of this wine. Maybe some other time, of you’re ever willing to go through the work and the mess again!

Cutting carbs doesn’t really solve the underlying issue. I cut back on fats, eliminated meat and dairy and eat all the carbs I want. Grains, beans, pasta.

@mandolinman2006 2 года назад

I'm curious. Have you ever though of doing an acerglyn using bourbon barrel aged maple syrup? Seems like that'd be down your alley if the bourbon hints come through. Also, a little trick I use. I've actually done 3 5 gallon runs using one pack of yeast before. I squeeze the fruit, usually muscadines, and put the solids in with the juice. I add the yeast and any sugar and water necessary to cover the solids. I just stir it for about 6 days. Then I separate the juice and put the the fermenter. I'll get about 3/4 the amount of fruit for the next run and top it off with the yeasty solids from the previous run plus any juice that settled out. Just repeat. I've had some say the later runs are better than the first.

@bryzabone 2 года назад

An auger juicer is brilliant for making ciders, wines from excess produce from markets etc. no foam! And very good juice yield, and exceptionally good solids separation, very easy to feed the fruit through. I add a bib in the fermenter with the solids to keep them seperate- no filtering after fermentation. 👍

@MrClownstastefunny 2 года назад

Having made this, I describe it as a country wine made from grapes. As in, when you drink strawberry wine you want to taste strawberrys. This is actual grape wine. Also, if you carbonate this and treat it much as a cider it really takes it up to an 11.

@carlvondrunker7855 2 года назад

Excellent content as always. I just cracked my first basic mead. It was racked in April, and I bottled on July 4th. The taste change is huge. It’s just honey water and white wine yeast. In a year or more it’ll be giftable. It’s dryish with a little sweetness. And the fusel is now black licorice. Age will make this decent mead. I’ve also made several 7 day ciders. Im gonna be patient with most of them. But I’m going to serve some more f it

The color reminds me of a good Georgian amber wine. I started brewing on table grapes because I didn't have access to Black Hamburg but hated it and didn't give it much of a chance with a full secondary.

I believe you mentioned you had used all of the grapes for this wine, but if you did have any grapes left over. This wine would go well with a plant base apple orchard chicken salad romaine lettuce wraps. That was a lot of work y'all had to do to process the table grapes to make this batch of wine, but thankfully y'all did not decide to use those tiny champagne grapes using the same method used in this video. Maybe not the best or ideal and definitely not the lightest method of brewing, but that's when the food grade plastic 5 gallon bucket comes in handy. When using 20 plus pounds of fresh whole grapes. I had help my grandfather make wine from the scuppernong grapes he grow once. Crushing the grapes with something like a potato masher by hand in small batches before adding it to the 5 gallon bucket.

The yeast and the amount of fermentable sugars is what determines if the brew is sweet or dry. You can always allow a brew to go dry then back sweeten to your desired sweetness level and then pasteurize if necessary.

@@positivenihilist8891 You have red wine and orange wine correct, but white wine has to do with lack of skin contact and rosé is partial skin contact. I thought that since the juice here was grinded up with the skins it would be considered a rosé, but I’m not a wine expert.

One thing I've done to help combat when fermentation gets a little too active is to have a paper towel folded over the top of the air lock and held firm, but not tightly with a rubber band. It just helps to catch those tiny drops that would go flying from bubbles at the top popping. Of course you still need something like the tray, or a bucket, etc to catch the bulk of it.

Probably great pre fermentation aeration

Liked your method of wine making. What would happen if I took a pile of grapes, chopped them in a blender, boil the blend to pastorize then pitch the yeast after it cools. I would filter with just a colinder which would get me alot of sediment but racked it after 4 weeks. Just putting the idea out to save time in the beginning process, student of the industry. Thanks again

Sounds like you would make wine. ;)

I just finished your sweet red wine recipe and when I tasted it before bottling it was fantastic but now (about a week later) that’s it’s bottled it’s a lot less sweet and tastes more like rubbing alcohol, thoughts on how this could’ve happened? (Bottled the next day with auto siphon and bottling wand everything was sanitizes and it was only open and exposed for maybe a minute when taking initial sample)

@alice_pain 2 года назад

Oh and gravity reading did not change

@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад

Unfortunately I don't really know what to tell you. One week and bottling shouldn't have changed the flavor that much. And as you stated that the reading didn't change then there shouldn't have been more fermentation. That would have been my first guess as to what might have happened.

@alice_pain 2 года назад

@@CitySteadingBrews okay, thanks for the quick reply! my only guess is that maybe during bottling the gas got mixed in and maybe it hasn’t properly degassed? But who knows I’ll try again eventually

I used darkest table grapes in my ginger and honey wine. It was colored about the same as your red wine.

A fast way to get grapes off the vine... Put them in a big bag, grab the stem, and shake vigorously. All the grapes come off.

It looks like Tickle Pink wine.

I'm super late to the party, but for future juicing endeavors, if you're juicing for must and not for drinkin' juice, I'd HIGHLY recommend a "Johnny Apple Sauce Maker Model 250 Food Strainer" style food mill (plus the accessories pack, for the grape spiral and screen) - no foam, WELL juiced grapes, and easy to recover solids.

I am trying to make your black currant wine and finding it difficult to find black currant juice. Can you say where you get it from? Or, is there another juice that is very similar? I have never had black currant juice.

If this one is just grape juice, could it be considered a grape cider?

@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад

Cider is generally lower abv. By strictest definition this is wine as some would say cider must be apples and wine must be grapes. Looser interpretations today would really just say under around 8% abv can be called cider and above that is usually called wine.

I cannot recommend using a blender for whole fruit. I work at a fruit stand with a fair amount that goes unsold, so I get a lot to play with for wines. Last fall, I spent an evening testing the blender method for several batches (melon, nectarine, cherry, etc). They all developed a thick cap that wouldn't allow gas to escape, clogged the airlocks, and blew out their stoppers. From here on out, I'm breaking out my antique wine press for whole fruits.

I like the idea of cleaning them good, freezing them, and then fermenting them. You should get a great extraction still because the ice will break the cell walls down. And seems like way less trouble

@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад

Agreed!
