Was messing around with some extra stuff i had laying around yesterday.
Ingredients:
-1 Bottle Welch's 100% Grape Juice (not the canned concentrate stuff, the actual juice in the plastic bottle)
-1/2 cup honey
-1/2 cup granulated sugar
-1 tablespoon Acid Blend
-1 teaspoon Gypsum
-pinch Irish Moss (for clarity)
-Some Kinda Dry Red Wine Yeast, I used lavlin 1116 (or something like that i had laying around)
Supplies:
-The bottle the grape juice came in
-airlock and cap to seal the bottle top with for the airlock (you can use the actual cap to the bottle if you'd like just by drilling a hole in it, just twist tops do let air leak on occasion)
-your usual brewing ****
______________Instructions____________
STERILIZE EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES YOUR WORT
put WHOLE bottle of grape juice, honey, sugar, acid blend, gypsum, Irish Moss Into a pot, get that **** to a boil, let boil for like 5 Minutes (be careful, there is a lot less volume in this then most recipe's this **** will boil over, so watch the heat!)
Let Cool to about 100-105 Degrees (the bottle is plastic, don't want it to melt the bottle and/or get little plastic particles in it and ruin ****)
Funnel it in to about 3 inches to the top (make sure u leave a wee bit in the pot to wash the yeast down).
Rehydrate the yeast (ad a teaspoon of sugar to that boil for good luck if you wish)
Pour into bottle, then take the rest of the stuff in the pot and wash down that yeast.
Airlock with bottled water for the first 12 hours (until suck back has stopped) then replace water with Vodka (who evers Idea it was for the airlock With Vodka is a god damned genius Kodus to you my friend!)
THE BOTTLE IS PLASTIC TO DO SQUEEZE OR PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON,
when you do this, it will force air through the air lock and then the airlock will suck the vodka back in.
I did this recipe yesterday, at 4:30 pm. i got home tonight/ early morning at 1:30am and **** is fermenting smoothly, just watch if your getting suck back.
I have no clue how this will turn out, as I said I was screwing around, hopefully it will be pretty =)
