5 medium size apples weighs about 1 kg, giving about 500 to 600 mL pulp. 600 g sugar in 500 mL water gives about 800 mL solution. Total wort is not more than about 1.5 Lit. This contains 120 g fructose (from apples) + 600 g sucrose (added) making total fermentable sugar around 720 g in 1.5 Lit. This is a bit Too High sugar for 1.5 Lit wort, equivalent to 30% abv. No yeast can survive at that concentration and the end product is bound to be sugar syrup rather than apple wine! So I think you have forgotten to tell that wort volume must be made up to 3 Lit before adding yeast. That will perfectly give 15% abv.

Hi Anne, hope to make it and upload the video one day...meanwhile, you may try other recipes on my channel and give your feedback as I value it very much.
ofc you can use other that wood. normally in factory, they using stainless steel containers and stainles steel tools bc hey are much easier to steilize. so, wooden or SS tools.
If it is sour, chances are that it has turned into vinegar... something has gone wrong somewhere...not advisable to consume... normally this wine is sweet.
I did it with 1 kg apples and since I have not made it with just 1 apple, I wouldn't be in a position to guide you on the measurements of the ingredients.
yes, you can use plastic containers. but the plastic must be PP type ( PP is suitable for winemaking. there are literally 10-200l plastic container made specially for this purpose). try to avoid PET plastic containers as they are not suitable.
Sorry this baking powder tip was for somebody else. In any type of 🍷 wine yeast is mandatory and sugar is essential for the yeast to work and make it to a wine
I have a question. Is it okay to keep the wine in your room? I read in one website that during the process of fermentation, carbon dioxide releases, which might cause varying symptoms. I am concerned if a one liter of this may be dangerous.
It's correct that during fermentation carbon dioxide is released. I normally keep the wine in a kitchen cabinet where it's dark and will remain undisturbed. 👍
@@IndianMomsKitchen can you tell me what changes happen for the 1st to the 3rd week of fermentation. Like for example in the first week, it changes colors and in the second week, it releases a strong smell and so on and so forth.
You can add a handful of washed and drained whole wheat...if using wheat, sieve the pulp after 7 days... follow the rest of the process as shown in the video.
Hello ma'am! I followed your recipe and I have kept it for fermentation since 2 days. The fermentation is going well there are bubbles but today I removed the cloth for a sec to check and I saw a little fungus on the top. Is it normal ? if not what should I do?
Fungus is not normal. You have to be careful with the wooden spoon and containers used. They should be sterilised well before use. Skim the fungus out and check again in 2 days, if it comes back again then your wine has gone bad
@@IndianMomsKitchen hey I don't think it's fungus but some other white slimy substance on a layer of apple that has risen and separated from the rest which is may be because of the rotting of the apple. Hence I separated that layer. It's been 3 days already I'm thinking of filtering it.
if you making wine from fruits and leaving bigger pieces and not using buble lock, you should mix the jar(or whatever container you using ) at least once a day, bc the fruit must be covered with liquid. that way you pevent mold or fungus creating on top os the mass. you better start over again if you found a mold or fungus on he top of your future wine.
i think it is called kahm yeast which is white layer at the top. harmless and skimmed off. if looking for wine/alcoholic drink, then airlock is a must, and advise to use a wine yeast starter. byproduct of wine/alcoholic conversion in anaerobic condition is co2 that inhibits mould formation. if cloth is used, then you will get in presence of air, part wine and part apple cider.. left enough air, it becomes truly apple cider vinegar. acv is healthy but just acidic and can take 2 spoons with water for weight loss and other benefits.
@@ishikanaik8846 If you add more sugar in solid form now it can ruin the wine because of impurities present in sugar granules and if you make a syrup of it like we did in the beginning of the process and add now still it may not work as the water could cause the wine to form fungus. I normally don't add so much sugar in wines but this time I did it because my apples were not sweet at all. My wine was too sweet for me but had a lovely Apple flavour.
Never seen anything like that happening before. Was your bottles sterilized well and air dried. I would suggest that you don't drink it. Apple wine is the most tasty wine I have made yet and where all wines are concerned after the first straining the wine should be clear as glass.

Ma'am I have kept in the final bottle after sieving after18 days . In the bottle I can still see the apple residue at the bottom. Is it normal or I have to sieve again? Kindly reply
Jayeeta, this happens with certain varieties of apples....do not use a sieve but transfer the clear portion of the wine to another sterilised bottle by just carefully tilting the bottle, without shaking the contents below and leave the residue behind.
Thanks, I was really tensed. One more thing I hv to ask u dt today after 18 days after removing the cloth I found a thin line of bubbles on the top. Is it ok? I have already tasted it. It's awesome.
Hi, I followed your procedure. But my mixture is more liquid than yours as i added a lot of water. It has been a day but i cannot see bubbles. I guess the fermentation is not happening. Can you help?

Thank a lot for the info.
I made the wine as per the video, i got a wine as you said too sweet, now can i reduce the concentration of sugar?
Can I add 300-400 grams of sugar instead to make the wine taste less sweet?
M S Patel thank you
They have used instant yeast, if using active dry yeast activate it first in a cup of water for 5-10 minutes

Lots of thanks
Welcome.
with cloth covered fermentation, it partly becomes to vinegar left to too much time. Better to have a airlock for wine
I was thinking the same, the carbonation will be lost.
very easy to make wine....thank u very much
Clear explanation...
Thank you.
It's easy hope it tastes nice
Try it just once. You will not regret it. Waiting for your feedback.
Great. How does it taste by the way? Thanks

what kind of yeast sir should we used
Instant/Dry yeast.
It's a good idea but where can we find the yeast
You should definitely get it in any grocery store.
@@IndianMomsKitchen I am from lebanon I can't found it but I want to know if the yeast beer good
Yeast beer not good....try ordering yeast online.
👌🏽
Thank you.
TnQ fr the alcoholic wine
Can you use powered cinnamon
Yes, you can.
When i did this step 2:20 there where this white solid-ish buble thingies on top. Is it bad?
I think something is not right. No solidish thing should be in the mix, even the apples become super mushy by then. Is there any foul smell?
What was the alcohol content after three weeks pls also mention that
Could you also yous pears ?
Never tried with pears
Think I might try mix apples and pears , their is a few trees near by once it's the season :)
Is it okay to use powdered cloves instead of whole?
Yes, you can use powdered cloves.
@@IndianMomsKitchen how many grams or spoon?
Classsss
how much is the capacity of that jar and the bottle?
Jar-2&1/2 and Bottle-1&1/2 litres. Sorry for the delay in replying.
@@IndianMomsKitchen it's okay, thank you :)
Hi, how it will be activeted?
If its bubbles how many or has a smell?
Thanks...
Super madam
How much is alcohol in this drink I hope to send the complete details and I thank you
Are there any alternative for wooden spoon?
You cannot use a metal spoon as it reacts... alternatively you can use a wooden spatula... something in wood but not metal.
ofc you can use other that wood. normally in factory, they using stainless steel containers and stainles steel tools bc hey are much easier to steilize. so, wooden or SS tools.
Im using balloons as airlock the balloon went down when I can drink it
Any other alternatives for Yeast?
No.
Yeast is pretty safe.It is natural.
Are we supposed to wait for it to look like this 2:14 before we sieve it?
No...you have to sieve it after 3 days, irrespective of how it looks.
Please how many percent alcohol is that
Mam i have prepared the mixture in a mud pot is it okay
What kind of mud pot is it? Ceramic or glass jars would be ideal.
Do you not need warm water to prepare the yeast?
No...the water has to be boiled and cooled to room temperature...never warm.
Can this be stored for around 10 to 15 years ?
Hi, I tried this and it is tasting sour. Is it safe to drink? Also can I add sugar to this before consuming?
If it is sour, chances are that it has turned into vinegar... something has gone wrong somewhere...not advisable to consume... normally this wine is sweet.
I don't have an instant yeast but I do have dry yeast. what should I do to activate it?
Hi Marbil, just put it directly...no need to activate it.
Does it taste a little bit sour ?
No...it is sweet.
Can we use the apple pieces after making the wine. Because they are still nice and flavorful. Any tips or ideas don't feel like discard them.
I would advise you not to consume the apple pieces after making the wine.
you can use the apples once again as first time. bud the flavou and color will be less intense
Can we shake it with lid in instead of stiring with a spoon
Yes you can.
Hello Mam, can we boil the apples n cool and add to the jar.
No, you should not boil the apples.
So nicely exo, thanks!
Can we use honey as a substitute for sugar just not for being alcoholic??
Sugar is added not just for the sweetness but also for yeast to act...I am not sure whether yeast will act if honey is added.
Can we use yellow apple instead of red?
If I follow these instructions, how much wine(in ml) would I be able to produce?
Hi just asking, if im only making the wine with just 1 apple how much sugar, water and other ingredients should I put?
I did it with 1 kg apples and since I have not made it with just 1 apple, I wouldn't be in a position to guide you on the measurements of the ingredients.
Thank you
if I add limantose to the apple wine does it break or go to waste?
Wine seems to be cloudy, how to make it more clearer, pls advise. Thx.
Distillation should clear it up. However it can streghten it so do be carefull
Use pectolase, bentionite or irish moss. I would also recomend you to find a better video about brewing wine as this one has a lot of bad information
Can i use plastic bottle instead of glass for fermentation and storing it?
No...you can use either glass or ceramic but not plastic as the wine will get spoilt.
Plastic is not airtight- tiny molecules of spoilage can get thru.
yes, you can use plastic containers. but the plastic must be PP type ( PP is suitable for winemaking. there are literally 10-200l plastic container made specially for this purpose). try to avoid PET plastic containers as they are not suitable.
How long does it last
The more the wine ages, it becomes better and better.
Ma'am could u tell me the exact ratio of apple in kg , sugar and water?
1kg Apples...700gms Sugar...1 litre Water.
Thanks ma'am. I will definitely make it and give feedback.
But you said 600gm sugar and 1/2 liter water. What could be the weight of 5 medium sized apples?
@@Spuvvnian see my comment today
After the fermentation process it smells like band aids nd medicine !! What should I do ?? Is this normal or do I have to restart?!?
Why sugar should add? Is it necessary? For diabetic ppl

Shouldn't rise...unseal and mix.

Normally fermentation should start happening in 4-5 hours itself. Crush 2-3 more apples and add it to the wine mix along with a large pinch of yeast
I made it four days ago and now it's not smell very good, is that okay?
