  • Home made not turning Sour

    From john west@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 23 10:08:54 2021
    As a complete novice I have been making a simple brew: one third of a
    litre of fresh pressed supermarket red grape juice and granulated sugar
    and baking yeast made up to a final volume of one litre at about 9% ABV.

    When i buy a bottle of supermarket red wine after a couple of days of
    being opened it soons turns sour. But my home made concoction does not
    seem to do this and just remains the same and is drinkable.

    Anyone with an explanation why this home made behaves differently ?

    Your posts sounded a lot like a troll. No body uses supermarket grapes, granulated sugar, and bread yeast to make wine.
    You couldn't scroll through my post because you wouldn't find any recent
    ones.
    Back when this group was active Kids often would look for help making booze.
    I suspect you are not genuine. If I am wrong, I apologize.
