Joan-Anola, Manitoba, Canada I made this wine, It turned out well. The only things I did differently were to use carboy with a fermentation lock instead of a balloon and a week before I bottled it I strained it through coffee filter and put it back in the carboy and added a clarifier. When I bottled a week later =I strained it again

Ive made this wine countless times and it turns out differnt every time. Always extremely good though. To the one that popped their balloon, umm duh. Just buy an airlock. Simple and fun to make your own wine. Give it a shot!

My husband and I tried this recipe. It calls for way too much yeast, which we found out the hard way. The very first night it exploded (popped) the ballon. made for a really big mess. next time we try this resipe we would NOT use the 2-1/2 oz of yeast it calls for. I would say no more than 1/4 to 1/2 oz would due.
