I have tried this technique in Ukraine, in the Carpathian mountains. A red grape that was growing when I bought the cottage . I found the wine to become sour , and I heard the air reacts with it causing this taste. I have had to crush then quickly put in a air free vat to get anything drinkable

Hey Evo, great video. My Italian grandfather came to the USA about 1910. He worked the coal mines of West Virginia. He would buy new boots every year, use them to stomp grapes then wear them to work. The last thing I did with my father before he died was start a batch of wine. He died a week later. I finished the wine and labeled it in honor of him and shared it with the family. Your video brings back nice memories. Solute’

Evo. God be with you and your family! Thank you for this wine making video. Just fantastic! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I grew up in Welland Ontario. Our St. Mary's parish was like a little Europe. Neighbors were Italian, Hungarian and Croatian. The smells of everyone's foods whet our appetites when we played in the streets in the 60s. My father was from Croatia. Dad, uncles and grandparents made wine every fall. They got their concord grapes from Vineland just outside of St. Catharines, Ont. They brought their wine press and everything from Europe in 1939 on the boat all taken apart. They made their own sausage as well but when I was young I didn't pay much attention (I should have!), so I am so, so grateful for all your valuable instruction. Bon Appetiti! Love, from Elmwood, Wisconsin.

Ivo, this was a great show! My grandfather, who died before I was born made his own wine. My dad, who used to help him, never continued the tradition. I remember In the sixties there were still plenty of families on our block in the Bronx who would have the discarded, thin wood sided grape crates, out in front of their houses for garbage pick up every fall. That, and the empty crates of tomatoes at the end of summer used for making canned homemade tomato sauce.

@@CookingwiththeCoias Indeed I too, must commend you Ivo, as this is the best video I have seen on KZread for making wine at home. Many thanks for you taking the time to go into great detail in this video .truly well done! In closing, I have a few questions regarding cleaning the wine press. My dad's old wine press very similar to the one you have (just one notch smaller in size) .. Has been stored in the garage for the last many years. It kind of needs a major cleaning etc ...looks dusty etc and needs a cleaning overhaul. (Note - All parts working & functioning etc) So that is precisely my question...in your opinion Ivo, 1) From a cleanliness perspective, how does one know if it is still good to use again? - how to best clean the wood parts? - and if some areas on the cast iron show slight surface rust, is there a remedy for that? Or is that a deal breaker? Any tips on cleaning/ restoring the wine press ? 2) Also, for regular yearly cleaning after making wine, if you are aware of a good video link that shows how you clean your wine press ..that would help lots. Thank you so much for all your videos !!!

@@SS-pi2yi use a brush with some soapy water to scrub your wine press, those hose it down thoroughly - you can also sterilize with a weak metabisulphite solution and it will be good to go - same process for cleaning when You're done. As for the rust, wash/scrub away all the rust, then treat that area using food grade grease...put the grease on with a light coat then wipe off - the remaining residual will protect 👍👍

Hi Ivo I would like to humbly ask you 2 questions if you are okay. I found a white layer of kahm yeast formed on the surface of my wine 2 days after I strained / filter to separate the juice from its skin then I moved the liquid into a bottle in which I filled the bottle up to 75% of its volume. My 2 questions are that is it common / normal to see a layer of kahm yeast formed on the surface of the wine during 6 - 8 weeks storing period before its 1st racking? The 2nd question is that if it happens to the wine during this period, is it harmful and how do you think we should do to treat it?

@CookingwiththeCoias

2 ай бұрын

@@yudaaritonang9741 I personally have not had any kahm yeast occur so I would say it's not regular thing, but can definitely occur. Also, hopefully it's not mold (if you had moldy grapes, that could have been the issue) Kahm yeast will start to turn your wine and impact the flavor - I would suggest removing the Kahm yeast (once most is removed, you can "absorb" any residual by using a paper towel. As for treating it, the only thing I would suggest is to add some metabisulphite....even though I always avoid using sulphates, in this case, it could be needed (about a quarter teaspoon per every 6 gallons) good luck and I hope this works out for you 👍👍
