Ingredients:
2 containers frozen apple juice
4 1/3 cups sugar
6 tsp. acid blend (the frozen stuff tends to be sweet!)
1 campden tablet
1 tsp. yeast nutrient
1/2 tsp. pectic enzyme
1/4 tsp. grape tannin
1 pkg. of "all purpose" (white wine) yeast
Instructions:
1. Thaw the frozen juice and add to your jug with about 2 1/2 quarts of water.
2. Boil about one quart of water and dissolve the sugar in it while it is boiling.
3. Add the sugar solution to the apple juice.
4. Make a paste of the grape tannin in about 2 tbs. water to make a paste.
5. Thin the paste so that it can be stirred in.
6. Add all of the ingredients, including the tannin, to the sugar-apple juice mixture.
7. Make sure the juice mixture has cooled to about 70 to 75 degrees, then pitch the yeast. The starting SG should be about 1.094.
8. On the first racking (about 4 or 5 days later) add 3/4 cup more sugar. Then bring the water level up to 1 gal.
9. Continue to rack as needed.
10. Stablilze and bottle.
PLEASE NOTE:
This recipe can be multiplied by as many gallons as you wish to make. However, one package of yeast for up to five gallons is enough.
Some of the kits are quite nice. It depends on what you like in a wine. The most important advice I can give you is – make sure all your equipment is sterile! Or your wine will turn out bad. Good luck!
take one buckl of Grape put it in a bassement for 30 years then use it after 30 year old is always gold ahaha lolz then see the taste and Enjoy your life with it ahahaha lolz
There are just too many recipes available to narrow it down to one. I would recommend going to the local library and checking out a book on wine making.
This will cover such things as adjusting the pH when you make wines out of things that don’t have much tannic acid in them. It will also cover things such as sanitation and racking the wine, where to buy supplies etc.
The best wine I have made in the last year I made out of honey. It made a real nice white wine, not too sweet and not too dry. The next best wine I made was made out of Welchs’ white grape juice concentrate.
You can make wine using such simple equipment as a glass gallon jug, some yeast, fruit juice, and a balloon.

Do a search on the internet. There are several other sites that have wine recipes.
