a friend of mine's father decided to enlighten me on the way you're supposed to make wine and that i'm a fool for everything i've been told and am doing.
what he told me was that you crush the grapes into a bucket and let them settle, then you pour it through a screen and into your glass carboy or as he called it a "teardrop"
then you cap it and it will ferment and you don't add yeast to it... it will just ferment on its own.
now to me that sounds like a load of crap, wouldn't the fermentation of the grapes be because there was a foreign yeast on them and that's how they're fermenting? or am I missing something?
