Easy Recipe for Wine Making...
I got up early this morning and decided before I left the house I was going to make a gallon of wine. A friend gave me a gallon and a half of fresh grape juice some time ago and I stored it in the freezer for this purpose. I couldn't find my favorite recipe, so used another recipe. I hope it turns out, but whether it does or it doesn't I now have a gallon of red, sweet, fermenting mixture in my pantry. It will be ready on February 27th.


1 glass gallon jar with small mouth. 4 cups sugar. 
Add 4 cups boiling water and stir with a long handled spoon.
Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons of dry yeast with 1 Tablespoon of warm water to make a smooth paste.
Add 3 quarts of grape juice and the yeast to the sugar mixture. Stir well.
Put a large ballon over the mouth of the jar. Secure tightly with string or rubber band.
The balloon will inflate. The wine will be ready when the balloon deflates. This should take about 24 days. Strain the wine several times before bottling.
Enjoy!!!
