This is what you will need to make this homemade wine:
- 3 Cans of 100% Frozen Welch’s Grape Juice Concentrate.
- ½ Cup of Sugar.
- 1 Gallon Plastic Container (milk or water jug works great.)
- A Balloon
- Tap Water
- A Pin to poke a few small holes in the balloon
- 1 Small Packet of Yeast (Fleischmann’s Active Dry works good)
Now you’re ready to get started making your homemade wine in your college dorm!
Pour the 3 cans of Concentrate into the gallon container.
Next put in 2 cans of water per can of concentrate. (Not 3 like the directions say.)
Now put the cap on the container and shake it up!
Pour in the ½ cup of sugar and shake it up again.
Next take a bowl or pan and put a very small amount of warm water in it.
Then pour 1 packet of yeast into the bowl or pan.
Let the yeast sit on top of the water for a couple minutes to make it hydrate.
Then pour the water with the yeast into the gallon container with the juice.
Put the cap on and SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE!
Get a pin and put 4-10 holes in the top of the balloon. These holes will allow the gases from the fermentation process to escape the container, but are so small that they will mostly close when the pressure of fermentation decreases.
Remove the lid from the container and put the balloon over the top of the container. When putting the balloon over the container do your best to push it down into the container. Soon the balloon will pop up and stay popped up for about two weeks. After the balloon goes down the fermentation process is done and you have your homemade wine!
I suggest you siphon or pour the homemade wine into another container and leave a small amount in the bottom of the first container. The homemade wine at the bottom of the container will contain yeast crumbs and some soggy sugar. Stuff you probably don’t want to drink.
Enjoy your homemade wine in your college dorm!!!
