Shrdlu Dew
- 1 small cake yeast
- 4 c. sugar
- 1 large can frozen grape juice concentrate
- 1 large balloon
- 1 gal. jug
- If you're like the guy who couldn't afford to drown his troubles over the high cost of living, hark to Shrdlu's recipe for do-it-yourself wine at $.89 a gallon.
- You'll need a 1 gallon jug, sterilized, 1 cake of yeast, crumbled ($.09), 4 cups of sugar ($.25), 1 large can frozen grape juice ($.45) and 1 large balloon ($.10).
- Put yeast, sugar and grape juice into jug and fill with water.
- Slip the balloon over mouth of jug, sealing the contents from the atmosphere.
- During fermentation, the balloon will inflate.
- When it deflates, the wine is ready.
- The process takes 6 weeks and produces a clear rosy beverage that tastes like pink Catawba.
- Shrdlu points out that if you re-use the balloon, the next gallon will cost only $.79.
