White
18 liters pure grape juice
6 liters water
1 1/2 kilos sugar
1/2 cup real lemon
wine yeast (from brewers supply houses)
1. Place sugar into a 25 liter container
2. Bring the 6 liters of water to a boiled and add to the container
3. Add grape just
4. add lemon
5. add yeast
6. Seal container with airlock
7. Let sit three weeks or until fermentation stops
8. Transfer to another container (rack off) leaving thew sludge behind (BTW
I save the part of the slug as a yeast starter for the next batch)
9. Let sit for 2 weeks in second container
10. Bottle
Make sure everything the juice comes in contact with is sterilized, I think
cleanliness is the MOST important step. I use baby bottle sterilizer or just
plain bleach.
Good Luck

My recommendation to Tmarkwiese is to do some further reasearch before
attempting to make wine.
See: http://www.pobox.com/~malak/rcw.faq and

Most winemakers start by using kits which have simple and usualy easy
instructions for the novice winemaker to follow . Kits are available
from winemaking supply stores or supermarkets.
Fresh grape juice (in season) is avaliable from winemaking supply stores
and some supermakets -- look in the yellow pages or go to:
<http://www.spagnols.com/cgi-bin/db-f/db_manager.cgi>
Making wine from fresh grape juice, or grapes, is simpler than making
it from kits since the juice will normaly have acceptable sugar/acid
balances and the fewer additions such as pectic enzyme, DAP yeast
neutrient and the proper yeast are needed. No water is added. See:
http://www.spagnols.com/handouts/freshjuice.htm
for further details.
I agree with Derik's remarks about sanitation.
