Jug Wine DIY.
Ingredients:
1 (12 oz.) can of Welch’s Grape Juice (frozen)
4 cups of sugar
½ cup of water (for yeast)
1 package of yeast
Additional water for filling
Optional: Frozen blueberries (4 pints) for a unique twist
Instructions:
Prepare the Grape Juice: Dissolve the grape juice concentrate and sugar together. This sweet base is crucial for the fermentation process.
Activate the Yeast: In a separate container, dissolve the yeast in warm water. This step kickstarts the fermentation.
Combine Ingredients: Pour the grape juice mixture, activated yeast, and additional water into a gallon jug, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Gassing: Cover the opening of the jug with a balloon. This acts as a makeshift airlock, allowing gases to escape during fermentation while keeping contaminants out.
Fermentation Process: Allow the mixture to ferment for approximately 5 weeks. You’ll know it’s ready when the fermenting activity stops.
Siphon and Re-bottle: Once fermentation is complete, siphon or filter the wine to remove sediments and re-bottle it.
