I visited several wineries in Georgia last week. One of the employees makes wine as a hobby. He said there is a book called from the Vine to the Wine and it tells you everything from growing grapes to making wine. Not sure of the exact name of the book since I was listening to another persons conversation and sampling wine at the same time. Hope this helps.

Gerald that looks like the start of a nice batch! I am tempted to start a batch of Strawberry but have to leave for work in 10 days. Not enough time to do my first ferment before I have to leave. If they are still going when I get back I will do a batch of Strawberry too.

[CatDaddy]

I'm gonna try and get a picture of my winery.

Gallons of juice equals pounds of sugar. 10 gallons of liquid = 10 pounds of sugar. Yeast is roughly 1 pack per 5 gallons. Bakers yeast can be used and is readily available, but there are other yeast used which can increase the alcohol content a couple of percent, making the content about 15 % +/_ 2%. That is when the yeast cannot survive and dies off. If you want the alcohol level even higher, you can freeze a gallon of your wine. Then suspend the container upside down and let it melt down to about half to 3/4 way. The alcohol releases from the frozen juice before the fruit juice and water content melts. Your alcohol content will increase each time you do this.

Someone in the Lake Charles area let me know when yall get a batch made ill buy some. I love some home made wine, my buddies dad used to make muscadine wine and that was some bad arse stuff!

[eman]

I'm more inclined to build a still. Like some good apple pie shine.
Picked up a jar of 150 proof clear when i was in florida and am turning it into apple pie right now.

If you are even thinking about making alcohol you NEED this book! It covers it all. I bought it and it is a great read. Very informative and entertaining. The Alaska Bootlegger Bible.
