A week or so ago I posted about tasting some "wine" made from fruit cocktail while out on the farm with some guys (one who works for me). Well I found out today how the guy makes it and figured I would post what he said he does.
This is definitely not as refined as what many of you make, but it was a good "party wine" lol.
For 5 gallons he:
Adds 2 GALLONS of fruit cocktail in cans to primary.
adds 10 lbs sugar dissolved in water
adds 1 packet of wine yeast (unspecified)
Covers with airlock and lets it "work" until slows down
Racks into 5 gallon carboy, tops up then
adds another 5 pounds sugar and 1 more packet wine yeast
Lets this "work until finished" then puts in refrigerator 'till cosumed
Does anyone have any idea what percent alcohol this would be lol?
