I used cheesecloth and then a coffee filter. This stuff is so hyper-concentrated grape SWEET and with so little if any alcohol content, I feel like a fool. If it seems too good to be true.....................This is not my first failure, I've had similar horrible results with several other batches. I'm a photography teacher and know well about mixing chemicals and close tolerances. No offense intended but is this as good as this stuff gets and are all you people used to drinking MD-2020 or am I doing something wrong ?
First, tell us a little more about the fermentation process. Did the bottle get hard? Did the caps vent? Did it get foamy? Did you see if fermentation had ended before you put it in the fridge by seeing if no more bubbles were rising to the surface?
Also, by two welches grape juice cans, do you mean grape juice concentrate?
