I tried making wine once but than I realized I'm not a rich 80 year old Italian man and that wine is fucking boring.
Don't add sugar, and be easy on water.
The deeper the cellar the better.
Use wooden barrels.

Ive been thinking about wood barrels for aging. Is hemlock a good choice?

Lol hemlock.. a poison. Why do people do this shit.. it's a thing

Well OK then, smarty pants. Using wood was your idea. How about petrified wood? That's not poison as far on I know. It would make a badass wine jug too.

I blew up an antique cobalt blue clasp top bottle when I was twelve. My parents bough me grapes and helped me press them through a sieve, I added some yeast and bottled that shit up and waited. Two weeks later I opened the closet and it reeked of alcohol, there was a huge purple stain and glass everywhere. Good times.

Reminds me of doing that for a prank. Hide a bottle with top screwed on. Best case scenario it scares the shit out of them, at the least they will have a mess.
