Blackberries are with us good people, get out and pick this lovely nutritious free food and make wine jams and pies.

Finally, after 6 months of talking about making this and several videos previously weren't as thorough, concise and helpful as this one. Defrosting berries atm

I put a plant pot saucer under the demijohn to catch any frothy stuff because blackberry wine really kicks off. They sell them in Poundstretcher and Wilko and are under a £1.This has saved me many a ear bashing.

Hi, great video and am just about to pop out and start the process. May I ask, do you need a pressure cooker to boil, or will an open pan (but longer boil) work just as well? Also do you mash the berries before straining? Sorry am new to wine making and just learning. Many thanks.

So I happened upon this and was curious as to the overall amount of wine this yields with the amount of ingredients you added? Also what size is your carboy deal there?

Hi, I'm currently trying to make a batch of wine using this method. It bubbled quite furiously for a number of weeks, then sat totally still for quite a while. Just today, I measured the alcohol percentage at only 2% using a hydrometer. I stirred up the sediment and racked it off into a fresh demijohn. Since sealing it up again, it has started bubbling slightly (I guess because the yeast is all suspended in solution again?). Do I need to do anything to re-start fermentation to get 10-12% alcohol? Should I add more sugar? More yeast nutrient? Any advice is appreciated!
@URBANPERMACULTURE7 ай бұрын
It is difficult to get a higher alcohol content from Blackberries, sometimes finishing at around 8.10 percent, other times lower, On occasion I have added a little more sugar, yeast and nutrient to bring the level up.
@akihitolucilius28817 ай бұрын
@@URBANPERMACULTUREThanks for your response! I added 250g of sugar dissolved in 200g of water, and 1/8tsp of nutrient. There is still not very much activity though - only a few bubbles when I agitate the container once a day. Are these added quantities about right, or should I add more? I'm wondering if the yeast needs more oxygen, do you know if should try aerating or oxygenating the wine? I measured the PH of my wine to be roughly 3.5ish, is that about the correct range?
@URBANPERMACULTURE7 ай бұрын
Its always a tricky wine to make to a high alcohol content, It might be worth trying Alchotec yeast

@@URBANPERMACULTUREGood news update! I was speaking with a brewer that I met, and he pointed out that since I didn't record my starting SG, the ~2% ABV reading from my hydrometer was not accurate. It seems that the fermentation was not stalled as I thought, it had fully run to completion! I estimate my wine is between 8-12% ABV. It is delicious and probably one of the best alcoholic drinks I've ever tasted. Thank you for uploading this guide and helping me brew my first (of hopefully many) successful batches of fruit wine!!!

How much long do you normally ferment your wine? I am in India the temperature here fluctuates between 45C to 35C. How long would you advise me to ferment it?
@URBANPERMACULTURE4 жыл бұрын
In the UK would usually take betwenn 6-9 weeks, maybe a shorter period in India due to the heat

May I ask why we need to remove the mulberry from the wine? Can't we just kept it inside? The other question is that can we put it longer in the container with the mulberry ?
@URBANPERMACULTURE4 жыл бұрын
Yes, some people make the wine with the fruit in, this was a different way of making it that I was trying out. Blackberries usually ferment out fairly quickly, you could try keeping it longer.

If it has stopped bubbling it is probably ready, try a little taste to see how strong it is if it has stopped fermenting.
