have been looking into making a wine precisely like you were speaking of. I only have yeast. I can go back to the brewers shop if i need more but can you let me know your recipe and steps?

The recipe for Welch's Wine is right here.

Mushroom Man, I am very interested in your wine. I just purchased my first wine making kit and have been looking into making a wine precisely like you were speaking of. I only have yeast. I can go back to the brewers shop if i need more but can you let me know your recipe and steps?

My wife and I made a 3 gallon batch of this. We started it on Feb. 20th, bottled on Sept. 25th, and just finished a glass. It’s a little grapey for our tastes but still very drinkable and you can’t beat the price! I think we’re going to try doing this as a pyment next year (substituting honey for the sugar).

Thanks for posting this recipe!

No problem John,

I think it’s a good recipe and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Guess I should read more thoroughly before asking questions. I just clicked over to the other post and saw the answer to my question. Sorry, Erroll!

Hey, Erroll

I’m about to begin a batch of your “Bailout Blanc” and wonder what Original Gravity you shot for as well as what your final alcohol content was. As you know from my experience with that strawberry wine (as well as others), I’m trying to take my foot off the proverbial “alcohol content gas pedal” and ease it back a notch to attain a better balance in my wines, so any and all assistance you can afford me would, as usual, be appreciated.

I just started a 5 gal. batch using 100% concord. I made some of this a number of years ago with only juice, water and yeast and it was great. This time I am using 5lb sugar, 1lb dark brown sugar, 1lb honey, 1.5 oz raisins and a double hand full of blueberries. OG was 1.094 at 70F. I have always made more beer than wine but a friend gave me some pears last year and i made some VERY strong wine from them and have become interested again.

I so want to try this. I have decided to start making wine myself. I plan to purchase a wine making kit from a local wine/beer brewing store this weekend.

I too have made sweet wines using Juicy Juice belive it or not strawberry and kiwii concentrate and they turned out wonderful just before bottling I top them off with one tablespoon of sugar and 2 table spoons of same concentrate. I get many complaments about this wine around the camp fire. Dry wines are unpallatable for me for some reason. this recipe suites me just fine…
