Mom's homemade wine

1 Gallon

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 12oz cans Frozen Grape Juice
4 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Dry yeast
Water
1 Balloon
1 Glass gallon jug

Directions

Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Mix all other ingredients together in the gallon jug. Pour yeast/water mixture into jug. Fill jug halfway full with warm water. Shake well to mix ingredients and disolve sugar. Fill the jug to the lower neck with water. Put a toy balloon on the neck of the jug. Poke a small hole in the balloon with a needle. Place in an area that will not be disturbed for three weeks. The balloon will inflate from the gas while fermenting. When the balloon starts to deflate the wine is finished. Do not move the jug while fermenting.

: This recipe came from my great grand mother in Germany. It was passed on by my grandmother, to mother, then me. I hope that you enjoy it. It is a little potent for wine!
