RECIPE: HOME MADE CONCORD GRAPE WINE

CONCORD GRAPE WINE
Alberta Thomas-Brandon’s
Concord Grape Wine
From “A Cookbook of Treasures”, May 1995
Compiled by Alberta Thomas Brandon and Anne Thomas



1 (12 oz.)can frozen   Welch’s Concord Grape Juice

1 package dry Yeast                                 
2 cups Water                                   
2 lb. Sugar

          Mix yeast in water. Add sugar and grape juice. Finish filling jug with warm water; shake to mix.
          Put a large balloon (make sure this is a large balloon and that it is not used for helium) on the mouth of the jug; tie a piece of twine around the balloon at the mouth of the jug. Be sure to tie this very tightly. The balloon will expand as the wine works so be sure to have a good clearance for your balloon. The balloon will go down when the wine is finished, approximately 25 days. Strain and put the wine into decanters.
