I am trying to make wine at home for the first time,I have over 20 lbs of white grapes.Can I make red wine out of it ..how?
Can anyone give me soem tips please

gem, I am sorry to report that if you don't know you cannot make red wine from white grapes, you'd best not make any wine until you get some books and some training.

These are grapes with seeds, are they even fit for wine making, what possible use can be made of these, any ideas, is it possible for a novice like me to even try making white wine with it

Yes, it's possible to make wine from grapes with seeds; in fact, all wine grapes have seeds. But to your question: "is it possible for a novice like me to even try making white wine with it"
I repeat: not until you learn how. While wine can make itself, to be good it needs some help.
