How to Make Simple Brandy
- Combine 1 gallon of grape juice, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 packet of wine yeast in a clean 1-gallon glass jar.
- Stir gently to dissolve the sugar and activate the yeast.
- Cover the jar loosely with a lid or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band (to allow for fermentation).
- Place the jar in a cool, dark place (ideally between 68-75°F) for 3 months.
- Each day, gently swirl or flip the jar to keep the yeast suspended and promote even fermentation.
- After 3 months, carefully siphon the liquid into another clean jar, leaving behind the sediment.
- Securely seal the jar and let it age for an additional 2-3 months for a smoother flavor.
- After aging, carefully filter the brandy through a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove any remaining sediment.
- Bottle your homemade brandy and enjoy responsibly!
