Nobody?

So, I have a gallon of this stuff and I'm wondering if anybody has turned it into wine before and have a simple recipe. If not, how would I go about knowing how much sugar to put in it? Really just hoping somebody has made this and has a nice recipe. Thanks Guys.

Okay. I put some yeast nutrient in it after I shook it up. It's just a half gallon jug of juice sitting there. I don't know if that induces oxygen or anything but I shook it up to let the CO2 out of it as much as I could until, I didn't hear it coming out anymore. Then, I added some yeast...

It's 100% juice with no preservatives. If you look above in this post, you'll see the recipe that I used. I just wonder if there was already so much alcohol from the bread yeast that it killed the wine yeast before it could ever take off. I just don't know if, you can pitch yeast in something...

I got back around to this a couple days ago. I needed to brew beer and stuff and this wine thing is just a little experiment, for me. Anyway, it tasted pretty sweet. I mean, too sweet. Like it didn't ferment out all the way. I first put fleischmann's bread yeast in it as the recipe said but, 2...

Right. Thank you, though. I do appreciate you trying for me.

Exactly! The inner ones are thick enough to handle the heat and everything. They will bend a little bit and contort over time but, it's not enough to worry about. For a sight glass, you want something that is rigid but see through. Using glass is only an option if you're going to incase it with...

There again, though. Did you see the shipping cost? No damn way in hell I'm paying $44 for a 6 ft length. You can buy a whole Auto siphon at the home brew shop for 15 and make three sight glasses from the inner tube.

I just now thought of something also, DB. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had a problem with the small diameter stuff because it's thicker walled. I just read your post again and saw that you were talking about auto siphons and yes! I couldn't get more than 5 or 10 uses out of them...

I'm quite aware but, thank you anyway. I've been using racking canes and vinyl tubing my whole life and never really had any problems except for the spider cracking after a hell of a lot of use and then I throw it away. I just barely started changing any tubing at all to silicone in the last...

The sight glass on my hot liquor tank is made out of a piece of 3/8 outside diameter clear rigid tubing. I think I cut a length off of a plastic racking cane to make it. Anyway, it broke on me a couple weeks ago and I just now got around to trying to find replacement tubing but, I don't seem to...

Tried it with fleischmann's rapid rise yeast. I put three quarters of a teaspoon in it. It's been 2 days at about 68° and I don't see any activity. I am going to proof the yeast with warm water and sugar but, it's working just fine in the bread I put it in a week ago so, I don't know. Should it...

Excellent! Thank you.

Island lizard, should I bag them up or let them swim? Just wondering if they might be better off in a bag so they don't clog up anything when I transfer from the boil kettle to the fermenters.

I figured in the next few days. I just put them in a Tupperware type container in the fridge. That ok?

Great! Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Well, I'm back now and I wound up with 30 grams of dry Cascade hops. I'm not really sure what to do with them. I've heard that you need like three times the amount of dry hops that you do of pellet hops so, 1 oz of these doesn't leave me with much I can think of for utilizing them. What are you...

I've got a situation where I have to take a trip for about 1 week. I picked my hops today even though I would have liked to let them go a few more days but, I was scared they would be over ripe when I got back. Anyway, I'm going to leave the air conditioner on in my house at 80° for my snake. Do...

The recipe I mentioned was a cup and a half of sugar. You don't think that's enough? How much more would you add? And, do you think he's right that it will makes 16 to 20%?

So, I've got this 64 Oz jug of grape juice in the fridge that has been sitting in there forever. I don't mean literally but, apparently no one here wants to drink it. Anyway, I was thinking about doing my first foray into wine making with it. I saw a recipe from a guy who dumped out about a pint...
