I made dandelion wine for the first time this year. I see i did somethings wrong. Next your I'll do better. Any more tips for dandelion wine?

Never tried Dandelion. You need to make sure you boil it at least for a moment before fermenting because there will be natural bacterial on it that will need to be killed. 99% of the time, the bad tastes that get into your wine are from outside bacteria. Try honey wine.

I made it into tea first. It was pritty simple. I was surprised it worked as good as it did. I'll post a blog on it this weekend.

Zach, Does a great job with this. You can also try and make hard cider, its a lot like making wine, but the process is completed a little faster!

Thanks. I haven't made hard cider yet....but I will at some point. Especially when our apple trees start really producing.

Def wanna see a video of the hard cider. I love it more than wine!

...nice...thanks mate....

My wife is going to love this post! LOL

Fun Fact: Women get drunk faster from wine because of their water to fat ratio

LOL. Never heard that before. My wife loves our wine. :)

Well this is intriguing!! I think I might give this a bash. I have made it before but not quite like that!

You can do it man. 4 years ago I was a total newbie and today you cant tell my wine from the expensive stuff.

That's all the impetus I need!!

It sounds like these ingredients would make for some tasty wine... except maybe skip the skittles. Who wants to drink Yellow 6 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Yellow 5, Red 40, Yellow 6, Blue 1 Lake and Blue 1 in their wine?

Someone that wants a Skittle taste obviously

My family use to make lots of different kinds of wine when I was younger and I must say most of it was so bad you couldn't drink it but we was poor so we made do! Great post DR

Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

no worries mate .
i like you guys much better than the fake Amish guy. heard him disrespect you and steemit on his livestream today. Totally uncalled for.
Keep up the great work mate. up voted you
cheers
Graham

Thanks for the great tips! This will be my first year attempting to make some blackberry wine and possibly some other fruit wines harvested from our new property in Virginia. I am definitely going to try the White Oak and vodka tips. Look forward to more awesome videos from An American Homestead. You guys always put out such great content!
