I need free recipes

Yup, take some grape juice, stick it in a jug with some wine yeast and forget about it for a few months.

Actually it can be a little more complicated than that, but as long as your equipment and sanitation is in order, recipes are very flexible. I've taken apple juice and brown sugar and made a nice wine, welches concentrates, even juice straight from the jugs on the supermarket shelf. If you want a very straightforward approach with directions though, you should buy a wine kit from the homebrew store or order it online. One of my favorites is my pomegranate/blueberry wine:

Pom/Blue Wine

Yield: 1 gal OG: 1.09 FG: .999 ~ABV: 12%

1 gal (2 bottles) Natures Promise (stop and shop brand) Pom/Blueberry juice 2 lbs Brown Sugar 1 tsp yeast nutrient 1 packet Lalvin k-1v or Red Star Champagne yeast

Dissolve the sugar in the juice, shake to aerate and pitch yeast (rehydrated). Shake to mix. Affix airlock and store in relatively cool place (consistant room temp is fine). When fermentation is done (no more bubbles in jar, not nessasarily in airlock) rack to secondary. Bulk age as long as possible for extra sediment to fall out of suspension. Cold stabilize (stick it in the fridge) for a few days before bottling, careful not to disturb the sediment when racking. Age for six months to a year and enjoy.

If you drink this young, it will taste extreamly bitter and have a bad alcohol burn. Wait. Wait. Wait. Learn to brew beer in the meantime, trust me, it'll help. I drank this at six months and it could have gone longer, but in that time it turned into a completely different animal, a wine instead of alcoholic juice.

I would also suggest -

Lest we forget; thankyou for keep> Try

I'll echo what Mike said. Especially the part about your equipment being sanatized.

If yoiu start with a kit, (Price ranges from $60 to $300) it is a way for you to become familiar with the process, in a contolled and instructional way. Then venture into your own recipes. There are thousands of sources for wines.

Now, I think I might try Mike's recipe for my next batch!! :)

Happy wine making!!
