I need a recipe for homemade Muscadine Wine. Anyone have a good one to share?

Answer 1

Jack Keller's site has all you need to know

http://winemaking.jackkeller.net


** I think its a real shame that Pooh bear (above) has just copied and pasted two of Jack Keller's own recipies for Muscadine wine (from http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/nativew1.asp ) without even having the decency to acknowledge him. There is a box posters can use below this thats says 'Know you source? List it here?'

Jack is a great guy, he has put a lot of hard work into his site, is very helpful to home winemakers and his site is well worth a read. It doesn't deserve being ripped off.

and while we are at it

** auntiem115 recipe is copied from Diana Rattray's copyrighted page at http://southernfood.about.com/od/beveragesanddrin/r/bl80919f.htm It is called 'Kirks Muscadine Wine' and the heading Kirk's notes:has been removed from final paragraph. Wonder why?

Answer 5

GRAPE, SCUPPERNONG OR MUSCADINE WINE

8 qts. fruit
8 lbs. sugar
4 qts. warm water
1 pkg. dry yeast

Dissolve yeast in sugar water. Pour mix over mashed fruit. Stir. Slice one potato and put on top then add a good handful of meal on top of that. Let stand 28 days. Stir every few days. Strain and bottle, but do not seal. This recipe is a sure fire, no fail one.

Answer 6

INGREDIENTS:
1 quart mashed fruit
3 quarts water
6 cups sugar
yeast
PREPARATION:
Dissolve sugar in water put mashed fruit in with water and sprinkle yeast on top. Do not stir till the next day then stir every day for a week. Strain off liquid and place in a container with an air lock of some type for 6 weeks to allow fermentation to complete itself.
Strain off again and bottle; cap lightly for 3 days to allow for any more fermentation to cease. Cap and store in a cool place. This recipe works with muscadines, blackberries, even apples.....makes a good tasting old fashion type wine with less alcohol than the vodka mixture.
The recipe for the one gallon jug will actually make three quarts unless after initial fermentation...when racked off to the air lock...you add the additional liquid to make the full gallon. What we used to do was use a 3 1/2 gallon pickle jug for initial fermentation and put a little extra liquid in it and rack to three one gallon jugs with air locks for final fermentation.
Makes 1 gallon of muscadine wine.

Answer 8

MUSCADINE GRAPE WINE #1
6 lbs ripe Muscadine Grapes
2-1/4 lbs granulated sugar
3 qts water
1 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 crushed Campden tablet
1 packet Montrachet wine yeast
Boil the water and dissolve the sugar in it. While sugar-water is cooling, wash, de-stem and crush the grapes, being sure to wear rubber gloves. Pour crushed grapes into nylon straining bag, tie securely, and put in primary. Pour water over grapes, add crushed Campden tablet and yeast nutrient, and cover primary securely. After 12 hours add pectic enzyme. Wait additional 12 hours and measure both specific gravity and acid. S.G. should be 1.100 to 1.103; acidity no higher than 7 p.p.t. tartaric. Correct S.G. if required by adding additional sugar, acid by using one of three methods described below following recipes, if required. Add yeast, re-cover primary, and squeeze nylon bag lightly and stir must twice daily for about 6-7 days or until S.G. drops to 1.030. Press pulp well to extract liquid. Pour into secondary fermentation vessel, fit airlock, and let stand 3 weeks. Rack and top up, then rack again in 2 months and again after additional 2 months. If wine has cleared, bottle. If not, wait until wine clears, rack again and bottle. This wine may be sweetened before bottling by stabilizing, waiting 10-12 hours, then adding 2/3 to 1-1/3 cup sugar-water per gallon (2 parts sugar dissolved in 1 part water. May taste after one year, but improves remarkably with age (2-4 years).

3 qts water
1 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 crushed Campden tablet

Wash and destem the grapes, being sure to wear rubber gloves. Run grapes through a grape crusher or crush in crock primary using a sterilized 4X4 or other suitable device in an up-and-down action. Meanwhile, bring water to boil. Add sugar to grapes and pour boiling water over grapes and sugar. Stir well to dissolve sugar. Add crushed Campden tablet and yeast nutrient and cover crock. Wait 12 hours and add pectic enzyme. Wait 12 additional hours and measure both specific gravity and acid. S.G. should be 1.100 tp 1.103; acidity no higher than 7 p.p.t. tartaric. Correct S.G. and acid by using one of three methods described below following recipes, if required. Add yeast, re-cover primary, and stir must 2-4 times daily, knocking down "cap" of skins and seeds each time. Check S.G. daily until it drops to 1.040. Strain pulp well to extract liquid and discard pulp. Recover primary and continue fermenting as before until S.G. reaches 1.030. Siphon into secondary fermentation vessel, fit airlock, and ferment 30 days. Rack and top up, then rack again every 30 days until wine has cleared. Wait additional 30 days, stabilize, and rack again. Sweeten to taste and bottle. Allow to age at least 18 months before drinking. Improves with additional aging.
