1 pail of alive grape juice. Nothing other than time.
The pail the juice comes in has a one way valve, the juice has the wild yeast from the skins, let warm up, when the reading is below 1.020 , rack. Rack every month after that. Bottle and enjoy.

but the yeast in the skins is not fast enough, nor the sugar in the grapes sufficient.

I remember as a kid, my folks made wine from grapes.

Always involved baking yeast.

Always involved a couple of 10 lb bags of sugar (I mean volume, 50 gallons, no holds barred)

they never did use s.g. in the process of making wine, grandma would sample the wine and stir and let us know when it was done working.

to this day, in WI, you can make 200 gallons / person / year.

but I like your thinking blackie.

I knew a guy who made the best Dandellion Wine I ever had.

I'll have to start creating my own adult beverages too. Since all the rest of my cash will now be going towards fuel costs.

If I remember correctly the Tesla can travel 200 miles on a single charge which equates to about 200mpg. The only problem, the car costs $100K.

So you're paying for all the gas you're going to save, up front?
