Ingredients:  
Grapes should be overripe (collected after 1st frost)

Crush grapes and measure

Then make a syrup of 4 cups of sugar (brown sugar works best) and 4 cups of water. Boil and let cool.

Place 1 cup of grapes and 1 cup of sugar water in the crock.

Add 1 to 2 cakes of yeast.

Keep at 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. To activate.

Leave for 5 days. Each night, take the cover off and stir well.
Then let all of it drip into a jelly bag.

Directions:
Then put it in jugs and put a plastic hose through the cork, and let it work. The hose should extend into the water and keep it below the water so the wine can work. When bubbles stop, the wine should be ready for sealing. One could wait a few more days to be sure that the wine should not be used for at least 105 days.

After straining the mash, taste it to see how sweet it is. It should have another syrup added to it, the same way as adding cup-for-cup.

Instead of 4 cups of sugar and 4 cups of water, I used 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of water.
