first learned about this recipe last year when I made my instant pot grape juice wine if you haven't seen that video I'll put the link it down below but by then the corn season was over and so I was like don't forget to make this next summer so lovely Jennifer said make corn cob wine which reminded me that I needed to make this so we're going to be making wine using corn cobs and an insta pot actually before I do that help me pick a pair of glasses what do you think about these they're quite like these and how about these these are super fun yes now what I love about this pair is that they include clip-ons and they suddenly become these now if you wear prescription glasses like I do and are virtually blind without them having a pair of sunglasses is kind of a pain because you need your prescription sunglasses but then if I have my clip-ons I just clip them on and dena these ones oh my gosh and then another pair of prescription glasses Danny I love being able to see so glasses

your own home absolutely love that so click link down below and receive a special offer from glasses usa.com big things the glasses usa.com for sponsoring this video now let me show you how to make corn cob wine by the way the recipe that I'm using today comes from Kat kinsman over at extra-crispy and I would put a link down below to her video in the description so the first thing you're going to need is a bunch of fresh corn I have six ears of farm fresh corn you're going to husk it and remove as much of the silk as possible then you're going to cut all the kernels off I've been dying to use this hack I've seen it all over the place where you take a bundt pan and you take the cob and you put the corn cob in the middle of the bundt pan and it's supposed to catch all the kernels so I grabbed my bundt pan and I put the corn right in the middle of the bundt pan and I began cutting the kernels off now it did work but there is a bit of an exception if you have a particularly large ear of corn and you're cutting from the very top of the corn some of it still want to splash out of the bundt pan so what I found to make this hack work it's better if you cut the kernels off about Midway or two-thirds of the way up the ear so that way when the kernels came off they fell right into the pan rather than falling out of it after you do that then you flip the corncob around and then you do the other half not sure if it saved all that much time actually because if you were to do it on a plate you'd still be catching it another thing that I found kind of a nuisance was that now you have all your corn in a bundt pan great but then you have to get it all out and it would be much easier to extricate all those little kernels just off a plate you can kind of just slide them off in a bundt pan you're using your fingers and trying to get them all out of the nooks and crannies which actually was a little bit more painful than it needed to be a big baking pan would even work better because you would have more surface area to actually catch your kernels so once you have all our corn kernels off the cob I took those and I put them in a plastic bag and now I have frozen corn for the winter so then I took all the corn cobs and I placed them inside the instant pot and I added a half gallon or two quarts of water I'm going to cook this on high pressure for 10 minutes and then allow the insta pot to naturally release and what that means is the instant pot is a pressure cooker and it heats up and pressure is built up inside and that is why it cooks so much faster because you're cooking under pressure now before we can open the instant pot we have to make sure the pressure has been released and there are a couple ways of doing that you can do a quick release where you turn this little valve on the top here and it releases some of that pressure so you can open it safely another option which we're using today is called a natural release in which we just allow the instant pot to cool down the contents to cool down as well and thereby releasing the pressure now we're going to open the instant pot the contents will still be very hot we're gonna remove all the corn cobs we don't need these anymore so to our corn water we're going to add four and a half cups of sugar stir this well we want this to dissolve we're doing two things here we're adding sugar here which we need for the recipe we are giving these something to eat and convert into alcohol also the hata corn liquid will facilitate the dissolving of the sugar into the solution thirdly we're also reducing the temperature of the liquid so while our corn juice and sugar mixture is cooling down this is a good time to sanitize your equipment you can do this a couple ways you can just use bleach water but you have to make sure you rinse your really really well you don't want any bleach residue on your equipment otherwise it'll kill the yeast it'll also leave a bad taste to your wine you could also use the boiling method where you boil all your equipment and lots of boiling water or you can do what I did and use a product called be bright which is a powder that's used specifically for sanitizing equipment for home brewing it's super convenient and I really like that so you just take one tablespoon to one gallon of water dissolve that and then dip all of your equipment and then thoroughly rinse it with water and you're ready to go now we're gonna let this sugar corn mixture cool down and once it's about a hundred degrees is safe to add our yeast now the yeast that I'm going to be using is just regular old active dry yeast that you would use for baking because that's what the recipe called for and that's one of the reasons why I chose this recipe because it didn't use anything special no special variety of wine ease just plain old baking yeast after five minutes of just letting it rest I stirred everything in and the yeast incorporated perfectly next we're going to take a strainer which we've sanitized and strain any little bits of corn silk out of our mixture and then I poured it into two sterilized quart jars next I took a little bit of cheesecloth put that on top and then place the canning ring on top and then you're gonna put this in a cool dark place for nine to ten days and this has been 10 days and you will get this Quan when I initially put this in my cupboard it smelled of corn it was very interesting but now it just definitely smells like wine a little bit sour too I'm wondering if it's at all like vinegar I guess we'll find out won't we so I'm gonna taste this two ways with a wine glass and just a glass glass to see if there's any difference in taste based on the shape of the glass let's try the little glass first okay hmm I can see some bubbling going on here let me show you what that looks like see the bubbles it tells me that the fermentation process isn't quite complete but it has been 10 days is a little cloudy alright let's give this a taste Cheers Oh ha well then it's still very sweet yeah yeah it tastes to me less like wine and more like beer there's kind of a multi flavor to it a little bit of acidity definitely some corn flavor in there which is odd and very sweet I think this needs more time the recipe said 9 to 10 days and it has been 10 days but the presence of bubbles and the flavor of this leads me to believe that they should probably sit a bit longer ah not you sure ramen too the flavor of this yeah yeah the flavor of that doesn't really spark joy hey let's try it in wine glass and see if it tastes any better so it's pretty milky so if you swirl a wine glass and let it's kind of relaxed and drip down if the liquid separates into what they call legs its indication that there's alcohol in there this is happening but not too leggy so that again indicates we probably should let this remit longer now I do have to say having it in a wine glass it definitely has you smell the wine a lot more because your nose kind of just get stuck in the bowl of the glass and you smell more of this kind of funky musky smell of the wine this to me is more like beer there is a slight effervescence to it a little bit of a tang definitely some sweetness a lot of the corn flavor has dissipated and it ends up tasting kind of more multi viscosities odd - it's a little bit syrupy so incidentally this would be the base or what would be distilled to make moonshine or hillbilly hooch of course they all have their own unique flavor profiles based on their process and how they are aged but that is generally how they make spirits alrighty so there you have it how to make corn cob wine using an insta pot big thanks to glasses usa.com for sponsoring this video be sure to click the link down below to receive a
