Last night I watched a video about making hobo wine from grape juice, and made a batch. I didn't do any research other than finding other similar videos on youtube. I've never tried making wine before.
Here's what I did:
72 oz grape juice from concentrate, no preservatives, room temperature
2½ cups sugar added and dissolved by shaking
2 tsp Red Star yeast dissolved in warm water, added and shaken
cracked the cap just a bit
Put the bottle in a bowl and a closed box
This morning I checked it and there was a good smell, but it was barely active. Just a ring of tiny bubbles around the edge of the bottle. It didn't have the big bubbles that were described in the video.
Was it a bogus recipe? Did I do something wrong? Or is everything ok?
