This is to funny. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. My Dads wine recipe is follows.
He tried this in the early eighties while we lived in the deep wilderness. NOTE: This can be made with food stamps and there are o chemicals involved.
I am posting this only for nostalgic purposes. Some of you may have read the post where I described my Dads attempt at beer making. Well, while looking through my recipe binder I came across this recipe. (They called my dad Twodog). Take a look.
2 gallons Treetop 100% Pure Apple Cider
1 pint bottle Karo Light Corn Syrup
1 package (1/4)oz Fleiscmans Active dry yeast
Remove 1 pint of cider from each jug.
Stir yeast into lukewarm water to dissolve.
In 2 quart saucepan, combine 1 pint cider with corn syrup and heat to lukewarm, remove from heat, cool slightly, and add yeast mixture.
Add one half of this mixture to each gallon jug of cider, add reserved cider to fill each bottle. Seal each bottle and sit in a cool spot(55-65 degrees) for 7 days.
Siphon wine into clean gallon jars, add 2 TBLS corn syrup, or sugar to each bottle, stir well.
Seal, store in cool place for at least 14 or more days.
Finally, siphon wine into clean storage bottles and store in a cool dark place.
WTF? Pop, it's a wonder you didn't get us sick, or blow us up.
I miss my Dad. I don't remember how this turned out, but I remember us drinking some of his homemade hooch and it always got us ....ed up.
I am just glad he never went so far as to try distilling, though I know some who were trying to get him to experiment.
Moral of the story: NONE
Just wanted to share.
