Freaked Out Hippie Wine Recipe
2 - 12 oz. cans frozen grape
juice
3 1/2 cups of white granulated sugar
1/3 cake of yeast (Fleishmann's is
best)
A large Balloon and some strong
string
One Gallon Jug
First, set the grape juice out to thaw,
until
slushy. Next, mix the sugar thoroughly
in
with the grape juice. Pour the sugar
and juice, into the gallon jug.
Dissolve the yeast in a cup of
lukewarm water and add to the
juice mixture in the gallon jug. Mix
everything thoroughly. Now add just
enough
lukewarm water to fill the gallon
jug
up to about 2 inches
below the neck. When this is done, place
the
balloon over the
top of neck and secure tightly with a
string
or heavy duty rubber
band.
NOTE:
This must be
an air tight fit!
If you have
followed all
directions
carefully, the balloon will soon start
to
expand with the gas,
caused by the fermentation. Store the
mixture
in a cool area, 60 to 75 degrees is
ideal,
for a period of from 3 to 6 weeks.
Check the balloon every other day. If
the
balloon expands too the point of
bursting,
untie and allow the gas to escape and
then
reseal. Be
sure to reseal tightly to make it air
tight
once again. When the
balloon ceases to expand, the wine is
done.
WARNING: Do not bottle this wine
before it is done fermenting. Bottles
may
exploded from excessive pressure.
Strain your wine with a cheese cloth or
a tea
towel and pour
into bottles. Cap or cork bottles and
store
on their sides in a cool, dark place.
All that's left
now is to enjoy yourself, man.
