We don't use balloons anymore. we purchased plastic vents and use those, but balloons work just the same. If the balloon breaks, just replace it. It takes around 6 weeks. Really cool experiment for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yes, we had the nice smell of wine for quite some time. Our balloon broke as well but we just put another balloon on and let it go again. It didn't get nearly as big the second time around. We also used regular bread yeast. It gives it a little different flavor, but we loved the taste anyway. Our favorite was pomegranite blueberry. - pixieladie Thursday, October 09, 2008 12:11 PM Re: Re: OT: Making Wine we made Muscadine wine.. the balloon broke, and it made some awesome vinegar... blegh...
