@lakelandwinery I believe the poster was referring to the potassium sorbate. This is not sulfite. It is added at the end if you have residual sugar to stabilize the wine. It is a yeast suppressant.
Helpful but as a medical professional about to open up my own winery I would not trust any brand name that uses fruit concentrate as well as putting harmful chemicals in the wine making process, even if it means charging more per bottle for all natural wine, you CANNOT sacrifice quality for quantity, or else we are all drinking garbage like Gatorade
Its against the law to make good wine in the united states. If you try to buy imported wine in the united states you will find that it has been opened and additives were put in to make it bad. If you buy wine, only buy it in Europe. e5.00 can buy you a very good bottle of wine overseas. You can drink it all night and wake up feeling great.
I would like to follow in your footsteps here in Washington state, can you help me understand what I need to do to get licensed? Is it different for each state? I didn’t know you could do such a thing on such a small scale, thanks in advance! And thanks for the video!
if you want to make bitter nasty ass wine like you buy at the liquor store then buy this kit. if you want a delicious sweet wine just get some real fruit, some real sugar and make your own. if you do a little research, you’ll find that its fairly easy to make and very cheap. the kit this guy is selling is WAY overpriced and contains a bunch of bullshit chemicals you dont need. whenever i drink alot of store bought wine, i get hangover. when i drink alot of homemade wine, i feel like a viking!

Do you need to stir the yeast into the mixture? I noticed you didn’t stir and left the yeast on top of the mixture before closing the lid! Thanks

This seems like a waste of money. Harvest some grapes and smash them, they already have yeast on their skins.
