I found this video on youtube on how to easily make homemade wine a few weeks ago. 1 week ago I stopped by the Grocery store and bought a few bottles of juice to give it a try.

1 bottle of apple juice.
1 bottle of grape juice.
1 bottle of CranRaspberry Juice.
I did exactly what the guy in the video did with his with those 3.
Also picked up a can of apricots in heavy syrup and a gallon of water to attempt to make some apricot wine. I drank enough of the water out of the gallon jug to make room for he can of apricots, the heavy syrup plus 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and the yeast.
I also picked up a really cool glass jug of apple juice and sliced up 1 apple and stuffed it in the jug along with 1 cup of sugar and a packet of yeast.
I checked on it yesterday and it is fermenting nicely. I closed the lids tight and shook them up and they built up some pretty good pressure that I had to bleed off slowly so as not to make a mess in my wifes kitchen. Once they were shaken good to get the sugar and yeast moving around and I bled off the pressure I loosened the lids and placed them back in the closet till next week. Next week I will do the same thing and see if its still fermenting. If its done I will filter it through coffee filters and then put it in quart mason jars to sit for about a month or so before getting completely plowed. LOL
I will update next week.
