My buddy at work said he has baskets and baskets of grapes "still on the vine" in his backyard that I'm welcome to have. I was hoping to make some wine with them. I've made several batches using kits but I've never attempted it from scratch.
I was wondering how you go about sterilizing the grape juice and whether or not you ferment using the entire grape: skin, pulp and juice, I believe they're concord grapes. Other then that I should be able to go to my local brewing shop and buy some yeast, bennonite, clearing agent and perhaps some toasted oak or something smiler correct?
Anything else I should know about wine making from scratch?
