Well I'll start out my first post by being completely honest.
I became interested in wine making after a visit to the county jail.
(I was young(er) and dumb(er).)
Anyway I witnessed for the first time the spectacular alchemy which is "Home brew" And became obsessed with idea of creating a great wine on my own, and watching the process.
I have started my first batch yesterday and unexpectedly in only a period of 24 hours it has transformed.
I started with 100% natural no preservative or additive grape juice, Mixed a 1.75 liters with enough water to equal a gallon, 2 1/2 cups of granulated sugar.
And... Bakers dry active yeast. (I know, I know, terrible) right?) This is my first batch so
I only wanted to get a feel for the process, just tester then if I enjoy it enough I will put forth the effort to do this correctly.
Anyway!
Its been 24 hours and the color has lightened dramatically, clearing almost in a red hue. The bubbling is intense, and it smells of a very high alcohol content.
This goes against everything ive studied so im wondering what you all think...
Let me know!
