Balloon Wine
- 1 (2 1/2 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) can frozen juice concentrate, without sweeteners
- 3 1/2 quarts cold water
- You will also need: 1 gallon glass jug (I guess you can use plastic, but I never did); 1 extra large latex balloon and a sturdy rubber band; 1-2 empty wine bottles or bottles of choice.
- Combine the yeast, sugar and juice in a gallon jug.
- Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water.
- Rinse out the balloon, and fit it over the opening of the jug.
- Secure the balloon with a rubber band.
- Place jug in a cool dark place.
- Within a day you will notice the balloon starting to expand.
- As the sugar turns to alcohol, the released gas will fill up the balloon.
- When the balloon is deflated, the wine is ready to drink.
- It takes about 6-weeks total.
- Carefully pour wine into empty bottles without disturbing the sediment.
- Discard the sediment.
- Cork and tape the bottles closed.
- The wine can be drunk now or aged, bottles on their side, for a year if you like.
- But the younger it is, the yeastier it'll taste.
