Hey you tubers and Home brewers,
Today I am making a simple apricot jam wine.
the great thing about jam wine is that it is a pretty much self contained fruit wine kit, the fruit and sugar has already been prepared in to handy little jars that you can get from pretty much everywhere!
this wine took me less than an hour to make and the results are really very good. so sit back watch and enjoy!
As you know I have removed all ads from my new videos as they are both annoying and youtube have changed there policy which starts at the end of next month.
so i'm trying something new!
I have a small list of things i and pretty much every home brewers uses the links are below and if you buy from amazon anyway it will help me out. hopefully growing the channel bigger and doing larger budget videos.

Here in Canada, I buy Hydrogen Peroxide at the Dollarama for 1.50 a bottle and use it to sanitize equipment and for washing fruit and veggies. It works better than anything else, and costs mere pennies. Also, instead of spending on yeast nutrient I use either raisins or a few pieces of my preserved lemons (be sure to rinse off the extra salt). My first try making two bottles of 'pure' alcohol resulted in being unable to measure the alcohol content because my hydrometer only goes up to 20% and it was floating on the surface. I started them on Feb. 13 while making my fruit wines. Crazy!! Salute amici!!

@backyardbrewingcookingando3847 6 лет назад

I agree with you 100% on simply shaking the carboy for a 2-gallon batch or smaller. Anything bigger than 2 gallons I tend to use an air stone because I am lazy, and more then 2 gallons of water is really more work then I like to do. :-) When I get the time I do plan on checking out the links.

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

Back Yard Brewing hey, there is nothing wrong with air stones :) especially on Larger batches. I used to use one myself. It was indirectly related to a long winded rant I received by email of all things :/ well thought it was time to try and grow my channel and adding links to homebrewing items from amazon seemed logical. Even I use amazon :D plus I have some hopefully interesting concepts I will be exploring :D

@backyardbrewingcookingando3847 6 лет назад

making homebrew wild and cheap I glad to see anyone that wants to grow something they love to do in to something they can make money with. I am retired, well semi-retired I have a "Beer and Pizza" job. To support my brewing habit. So I am happy with my channel and I like to share things that I have learned. I have gotten several ideas from your channel that in time I am going to try :-) I have also noticed that the English or maybe your palate is different in many wonderful ways from that of the people in East Texas. So your videos give me new things to try and adapt to the local palate. In case I have not said it before Great channel, and love the videos.

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

well i'm glad you like the channel :) to be fair i'm pretty unique in my palate for over here at least :P well the idea is to put any thing i make back into the channel to do more weird and possibly insane experiments. it's always fun to see other taking ideas and adapting them for there evil gains! :D

Good wine video buddy

@hyanotha 5 лет назад

You should have put some water in the jam jars and shook them up and added them to your wine.

@christophersweigart7007 6 лет назад

Will have to try this! Thank you

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

christopher sweigart hey, glad you liked it, it makes a nice fruit wine and best of all it's very quick :) saves having to cut and steep the fruit which can be time consuming

@christophersweigart7007 6 лет назад

making homebrew wild and cheap I agree! Currently have about 18 gallons of expireaments going lol this will be added as number 19! Can you make a video of a really hard to make wine? Either way love your channel and will keep on watching!

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

a man after my on heart :P well I do have some experimental fermentation's in the pipe line. as who doesn't like to push them selves and the bounds of home brewing! I will keep you idea in mind and see what i can come up with. :) The midnight mead (bochet) is actually pretty difficult to make it taste nice. almost like an intense burnt flavor isn't the most pleasant flavor :P

@christophersweigart7007 6 лет назад

making homebrew wild and cheap I say go for it! Sounds very interesting and possibly amazing! Have a great day! Can't wait to see your next video!

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

well it will be next week before i get the time to do another video :( damn working getting in the way of my home brewing! :D but I guess it gives me time to figure out how I can do it in a repeatable way. anyway have a good one :D

@michaeldirienzo3749 3 года назад

If say you had 80 x 1- liter Mason jars of pectinless prune jam and you wanted to make 40 liters of prune wine how many jars of the prune jam would I need to use ? 30?20 ? The qty of sugar used for the jam was 1.5 cups of sugar per cup of prunes. No pectin was used.

@kellynash8097 5 лет назад

So what is the difference between cider yeast and wine yeast? Great video btw, might give this one a go.

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 5 лет назад

Hey, cider yeast usually has a slightly lower percentage than wine yeast but brings out the fruit flavors more. Both work just fine :) it's nice one to try :)

@kellynash8097 5 лет назад

@@makinghomebrewwildandcheap good stuff! I knew about the lower percentage but figured there must be another difference so you've just confirmed it, thank you 🌺

@barklordofthesith2997 5 лет назад

I have great interest in this as i am hoping to make something along the lines of an Amaretto clone. To my tastes, Amaretto is predominately apricot and almond flavored with a hint of cherry. Apricots are hard to come by where i live (out of season) and using jam may be a viable alternative. However, i am looking for a CLEAR end-product. It seams that you've made this recipe a few times and i ask, does the jam clear well or is it pretty much forever cloudy? Thanks in advance.

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 5 лет назад

hey, as long as you use pectolase the ending wine will be clear, both of the wines you asked about ended up clear, if you were trying to make this for it's apricot flavor then 4 jars is the way to go. 3 is a light flavor 5 is sweet wine naturally as it maxes out the yeast :)

@barklordofthesith2997 5 лет назад

4 jars sure but to how big of a batch? 1 gallon or 5?

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 5 лет назад

1 gallon, I base everything off of a 1 gallon batch :)

@bargainbrewer810 3 года назад

Have you thought of t-shirts and other items you could put your logo too for a bit more sales?

@rrobcook 3 года назад

Hey there, great video as always. I'm new to your channel, and brewing for that matter and finding your videos very informative. Already started a Wilko Gordie lager kit and a jam/apple juice brew after watching. Just a quick tip which would help people like me (and maybe your viewing figures) if when you make a two-part video, come back to the part one and post a link in the comments to part two! RU-vid is getting a real pain to find videos on channels again, this may help you, albeit creating a little more work for you in the process but hey!

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 3 года назад

Hey, glad you're finding the channel helpful and got you to try some brewing That is a good idea. 😊 Sometimes RU-vid can be quite odd about putting videos together 😉

@rrobcook 3 года назад

@@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 👍👍👍 I've shared your channel on a couple of groups I'm in where people are just starting out, or thinking of starting out home brewing. So when your channel booms and you get all the YouTuby-riches, you basically owe me your life!

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 3 года назад

Ha ha 😂 I don't know about riches 😜 but you have my gratitude ☺️

@jc5454 4 года назад

Hi. Can this recipe me changed to give stronger wine? Say 12%ish? I bought apricot jam today, 3 jars same size as yours. Cheers :)

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 4 года назад

Yes it can :) add another jar of jam :) you could also add a bit of sugar too 😁

@jc5454 4 года назад

@@makinghomebrewwildandcheap thanks! I went ahead and made this a few days ago. Is it normal for all the apricot pulp to float on the top in the thick layer? It's fermenting as I can see activity and it's bubbling but seems slow

@Martyown 6 лет назад

Great video, as allways! Would you/have you ever make a cyser?

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

Hey, thanks :) I haven't tried a cyser yet but I was wanting to do one. I wasn't sure if it was too soon to do another mead video after the midnight mead. but i'm always up for playing with honey. :)

@Steampunk_Panda 6 лет назад

Do you think scaling this one down would work. Say maybe a litre batch ? Its normally not worth making anything that small in my opinion. That way i could try several different jams at the same time!

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

hey, well if you wanted to do it, you could. if i were going to make a small batch i would suggest a 2 liter container that way the conversion would be easier. 1 jar would make it about 12% :)

@Steampunk_Panda 6 лет назад

Could that be possible with a plastic water bottle. I live in somerset. And i can't find any two litre glass containers/ bottles. I have all the ingredients. Ready to go!

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

you can use 2 liter water bottles, thought i would put it here as well. you can pretty much use and container size, 2 liter ones just happen to be handy for the jam :P

@michaeld2176 5 лет назад

If I use 3 jars then the alcohol level should be over 10% ?

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 5 лет назад

hey, if you look on the side of the jar of jam your going to use it will give you a sugar per 100g. multiply it by the weight of each jar you have that gives you a total amount of sugar. divide by how many liters you will be making and it will give you a sugar content by liter then check on your hydrometer. it will give you a good idea on the percentage. if your lazy a good rule to follow is 500 g of sugar is about 5.5% and 1 kg is 11% :)

@michaeld2176 5 лет назад

You use regular tap water ?

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 5 лет назад

i use tap water but i have water that is lovely, soft and super tasty. so i always say. if your water is good then you can brew with it. if not buy a 5 liter water bottle, you can use the bottle and the water too

@CaptainBlood1935 6 лет назад

Are those 500mL jam jars?

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

Hey, Indeed, well 454ml to be exact. If you can get 500ml even better :)

@CaptainBlood1935 6 лет назад

Local store (Canada) had 1L jars of strawberry and raspberry on sale (unfortunately no apricot). Bought some of each. Tried to double up (2L of jam for 4L water) but SG was off my hydrometer scale (somewhere near 1.900). I was worried yeast would stall out due to super high sugar so I split in 2 jugs and doubled the water.

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

hey, that's alot of jam! lol, jam does have alot of sugar in it but hey if you can get liter jars it's more bang for your buck, I found that you can have maximum of 3 jars (750ml) before you have to worry about the yeast failing, still a great buy and you get alot of wine from it. which is good :) oh yea, a uk gallon is bigger (4.5 l) which will know off your reading to mine, my bad. :)

@johnsilva5020 4 года назад

Hmmm, your abv estimate is a bit off, isn't it? If OG is 1.050, final at 1.000, then the abv should be around 6.56%, less if it doesn't finish dry. Simple calculation is (OG - FG) * 131.25 . (I simply use a free app for my smartphone off playstore.). But this is an interesting concept of wine from jam. 😁 will try a batch in the future. Currently fermenting a gallon of Orange Mead and a gallon of Hard apple cider. Cheers.

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 4 года назад

not really bud, you always read the hydrometer how is it, not what you expect, you then take a second reading once finished to get the actual alcohol content. dry is 0.990 not 1.000 as alcohol is less dense than water :)

@kb2vca 6 лет назад

Bleach may be inexpensive but it can react to cork and produce really bad off flavors and aromas in wine when the bleach reacts to certain organisms often present in natural cork to produce a compound called TCA. Corked wine is what "serious" wine drinkers call this unpleasant aroma.

@makinghomebrewwildandcheap 6 лет назад

Hey, that is a good point although corks are boiled to sterilize and also softens them for bottling. As i'm sure you know cork is porous, why would you use bleach on something you couldn't remove all of it from?
