I'm more into Homebrewing beer, but have a wine question.
I have some friends that make wine using the yeast thats naturally on the grapes for fermentation.
Since I have the contacts to get my hand on wine grapes, I want to make a beer as normal with malt and add crushed grapes with it to the fermentor and allow the natural yeast to ferment it.
Do you guys think its a good idea or will I just waste a few gallons of beer? Also how do I prevent any bugs from infecting the fermentation with out killing the yeast on the grapes? Or is it just a chance I have to take?
