anmom Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Totally random but I've been thinking about making my own wine. I could use a hobby and I like to drink 😂 enough said! I've done a Google search but there are so many mixed reviews on how to start. So I'm asking you! Anyone have experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well my kids left their lunch in our suburban for about three weeks. I'm pretty sure we made a solid facsimile of prison wine out of whatever was originally in that bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2scouts Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I can't help, but my adult son just made wine. He brews beer too and said making wine wasn't hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I have no suggestions, it's probably easier than it used to be. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've made wine before... 2x. I used to have a sour cherry tree and made wine with that. It's been more than 10yrs so I can't remember everything.. but you will need some supplies that aren't cheap. But, otherwise it's really not that hard to make wine... it's more setting it up and waiting for it to ferment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 My aunts make traditional Chinese rice wine at home. It is hard to find the ingredients if you are not near asian supermarkets. I made wine from fermented fruit pulp in 11th grade using the school's chemistry lab. We ask the fruit juice seller for the fruit pulp. Add a packet of yeast to the pulp in a big airtight container. Three days later run a distillation lab to distill out the alcohol. It was fun and my high school lecturers were amused. (It was an afterschool science club activity proposed by me) ETA: You can also ferment apple juice to make alcoholic apple cider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 My husband makes wine. He bought a starter kit from Amazon. We have some grape vines in the back yard (we have a microscopic back yard). He usually uses those, but there are certainly other things you can buy and use depending on how much you want to make. He makes a small amount. The kit even came with a recipe book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Depending where you live you can buy fruit from farmers in your area in quantities for wine. In college I had friends who worked in the college microbiology building who made wine in their lab. :lol: Their professor made champagne from peaches that was just amazing. I would buy that champagne. It was delicious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
