Hey all I have recently made a half gallon of wine, I frequently make wine using store bought juices which usually turn out good. This particular time we made wine in a half gallon clear growler using a half gallon of Welches concord grape juice one packet of bread yeast and about 2 cups of sugar. We let it ferment fermentation went about a week we then capped the growler off and let the sediments settle then poured it off into another growler that was a black colored growler and saved about a pint from the bottom in a Mason jar, which we let settle then topped off into the growler. After all was said and done the wine tastes very very watery and absolutely no alcohol taste. But we tasted it prior to dumping into the second growler and during the transfer and it had a nice sweet taste and strong alcohol taste. The settling process only took about 3 or 4 days. What would cause this? Could the alcohol in my wine have disappeared? Lol any way any help would be greatly appreciated.
