  1. 🥂🍷🙏God bless you. 1Corinthians15:1-4=Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; AND THAT HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.
    Ephesian 1:13=In whom ye also TRUSTED, after that ye heard the word of truth, the GOSPEL of your SALVATION: in whom also after that ye BELIEVED, ye were SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise.
    Ephesian 2:8-9=For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of WORKS, lest any man should boast.
    Romans 3:23-26=For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by his GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH in his BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which BELIEVETH in Jesus. Without blood there is no life and without Jesus BLOOD no eternal life.

  2. Won’t the wood chips ferment and create methanol? Just wondering. Also the grape juice. It’s just pure grape juice. No sugars added or anything else other than the juice and is that juice same as grape juice same as store bought juice?

  3. Good video, thanks for making it!
    Adding Oak: I like to hold back on adding the oak until the start of the secondary fermentation, this lets the wine spend much more time (months) in contact with the oak which I feel contributes to a much better flavor. For years I followed the directions and added the Oak at the start and then wondered why the oak flavor was so muted, I eventually realized that the oak was getting thrown out with the old yeast at the first racking when I transferred the wine to the secondary fermenter.

  4. Thank you for the great video. One quick question: I live in South Florida and I keep my house at 76 degrees. Is that an acceptable temperature. My porch and garage consistenly reach 100 degrees, so indoors in the A/C is the only place I would be able to do this.

  5. This is really nice but this video was long ago. Lol what would people recommend now in 2023??? I'm trying to get this going want to learn and save $$$

  6. Good video. I've been making wine for about 8 or 9 years now. Your tips will help many people. Sub'd and liked!! AND your video is good 11 years later too.

  7. I have big question, I started the wine kit in the 10th day is finished the fermentation because I have it too on my table closed to the head, my gravity shows 1.000. Can I put the kieselsol. Potassium sorbate. And potassium metabisulfite now? Or I need to wait couple weeks???
    Thanks for your videos I enjoy them greetings from Canada

  8. its easy. Anyone can do it. I was in jail and made wine with fruits, juice they gave us, sugar and bread I put in a glove that I poked a bunch of holes in for the yeast. .. it worked. and was strong. its easy to make wine if you got the fruit.

  9. WHAT IS THE FINING AGENT? not one channel so far, about a dozen ive checked, actually details how to make wine. Is the yeast the right kind? How much per batch? its the small steps we care about. Once people have the formula down, they want specifics on when to do what. You have a great general idea of this is how i put stuff together… neat, we learned nothing.
