Steps:
- Combine the yeast, sugar and juice concentrate in a gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Rinse out a large 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 gasses released will fill up the balloon. When the balloon is deflated back to size the wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total.

GRAPE WINE
August Lueders and Sons owned and operated a vineyard and winery in Frohna, established in 1868. Although Martha, Concord, Seedling, and Niagara grapes were grown, their famous product was "Martha Wine" and they had a customer list not only in Missouri but in many other states as well. The grapes were processed and the wine aged in 360 gallon wooden barrels called "hogsheads" in the basement under the large general store owned by Mr. Lueders. When sold, the wine was bottled in 5 gallon , jugs or in smaller sized long, narrow, dark glass bottles. When the Volstead Act was passed in 1918 the government permitted Mr. Lueders to sell his remaining supply for Communion purposes only. Here is the original recipe for this famous wine. Recipe from August Laueders from the cookbook "Heritage of Cooking" A Collection of Recipes from East Perry County, Missouri.

Tips:
- Select ripe and fresh grapes: The quality of your grapes will greatly impact the taste of your wine. Choose grapes that are fully ripe and free from blemishes or signs of rot.
- Sanitize your equipment: Before you begin making your wine, make sure to thoroughly clean and sanitize all of your equipment. This will help to prevent contamination and ensure that your wine turns out well.
- Use a hydrometer: A hydrometer is a useful tool for measuring the specific gravity of your wine. This can help you to determine the alcohol content and sweetness level of your wine, and to monitor its progress as it ferments.
- Be patient: Making wine takes time. It can take several weeks or even months for your wine to fully ferment and mature. Be patient and allow the process to take its course.
Conclusion:
Making your own grape wine at home can be a fun and rewarding experience. With a little care and attention, you can create a delicious and unique wine that you can enjoy with friends and family. Just remember to follow the steps in this recipe carefully, and be patient as your wine ferments and matures. Cheers!
