Balloon Wine
Ingredients
- 2--12 ounce cans frozen grape juice concentrate
- 4 cups sugar
- 1/4th teaspoon rapid rise yeast
Mix and pour into a glass gallon jug--then add cold tap water and fill to just at base of neck of the jug. This space is necessary for expansion. Place a large (12inch) balloon over the top of the jug to cover instead of the "jug lid" As the Wine matures the balloon will expand and when the wine is ready for tasting the balloon will fall over. The wine is then ready. enjoy!
Note.... be sure the balloon is not leaking any air --- I found the helium balloon quality to be best to use.

Note from Honeycreek: This is a very easy recipe, no checks, no advanced equipment needed. Not all wine has to be a lot of science, some turns out well, some does not but if you just want some fermented juice this might be a choice for you. The concentrate can be anything you want. You can use the bread yeast as it states but if you use wine yeast it would be much better, taste would be much improved.
