If it gets too much warmer, the fermentation will be fast but end quickly, and the results are not as good. Once you have the mixture producing bubbles gently, try to keep the temperature constant. With this in mind, a spot well out of the way is best from the start. I use the top of the fridge. I can see what's going on but I don't worry about anyone disturbing it while it works. Good luck! Hello Deana,

With this in mind, a spot well out of the way is best from the start. I use the top of the fridge. I can see what’s going on but I don’t worry about anyone disturbing it while it works.

Good luck!

I thank you for having this posted since I've been wishing to see an actual process on how to make a wine. But because of you, I'll have the chance to try making it on my own. You sure, this will work? Wow. I thank you for having this posted since I’ve been wishing to see an actual process on how to make a wine.

It won't have any taste when it finishes working. You would do better finding a different concentrate you like the taste of. Or, get some cranberries and some raspberries and have a go at it the old style :P All the best Jackie Hello Ali,

In the UK I can only seem to find diluted 'juice' made from 14% concentrate. Would this be any good?

I would make sure to give the must a good swirl to make sure it is evenly distributed for the yeast to work on. Good luck with your wine!

As the yeast does it's job, the sugar is turned to alcohol and the wine gets less sweet. The bubbles are the yeast working - It is all good :) It won't explode if your airlock is working.
