GRAPE WINE AND BANANA WINE

i figured what the fuck, i'll make a regular grape wine this time. fairly simple recipe:

• 9 cans welch's frozen concentrated grape juice
• 2kg sugar
• 16g fleischmann's dry active bread yeast
• topped off with hot tap water
• shake, airlock, wait

welch's is good because it doesn't have any preservatives or anything, the only ingredients are grape juice and vitamin c. in the picture the carboy doesn't have all the juice in it yet (i added 4 more cans of juice after the initial 5 cans).



the banana wine is a bit more complicated and here is the recipe:

• 15L bottle of water
• 4.5 Lbs bananas
• 2kg sugar
• 16g fleischmann's dry active bread yeast

1. thoroughly wash bananas off with hot water
   
2. slice up all the bananas, leaving the skin on
3. simmer half the bananas in water for about 30 minutes
4. pour some of the water out of the 15L bottle to make room for everything else
5. add simmered and raw bananas to water
6. add sugar
7. add yeast
8. shake, airlock, stir daily for a week
   
9. after a week, strain off liquid into a new carboy
10. airlock, wait

it hasn't been a week yet, i started the batch on january 18th. uhm...the recipes i've seen tell you to simmer ALL the bananas, and to do it with sugar. i did it differently because i was curious to see the results. hopefully it'll clear to a nice piss-colour by the time it's done, like i've seen in pictures. that's all for now.
