@etuanno2 жыл бұрын
I'm doing home brewing as well. My standard recepie is pretty much undestilled rum. So I take brown sugar (white doesn't work at all, because there are no minerals in it), add my yeast (I use standard baking yeast so it doesn't get too strong) and then let it ferment. I like to add some lemon juice right before serving so it tastes like an alcoholic lemonade. The price is also a reason why I do it. About 75 cents per gallon isn't much.

@ladyofthemasque2 жыл бұрын
I can see why there's a difference of 3 days versus 4 or 5. With the sugar added right away, the yeast will be more active right away. Without any extra sugar, the yeast will have to rely upon the natural sugars from the berry juices alone, and will be slower-starting, requiring more time to achieve the same level of fermentation. For both, I'd definitely give them a week, loosely capped, for further fermentation, before corking tightly.

This spring I played around with the Raspberry Wine recipe from The Housekeepers Instructor (Schnebbelie 1805) but I wanted to use strawberries. I did what you wanted to do and fermented the strawberries with the sugar (since strawberries are a bit more difficult to juice I think than raspberries and I got more out of macerating them). I let that wine sit for over a month and it is fantastic. It basically tastes a bit like a slightly alcoholic strawberry jam. It really did capture the essence of those early spring berries. But I do want to try it with raspberries as well.

Lynne Dunlap Never seen a recipe . Was preparing for preserves but ran out of time, I split them , sugared them and the next day the sugared juice spoke to me . Just pour off the sugar juice ( keep pulp out so it doesn’t have to be clarified ), add a hand full of raisins ( for tannin ) , and yeast ( unless you want the natural yeast) and let it work. I don’t monitor the alcohol content, just work it till the yeast can’t live in it anymore. Around 15% LET IT SIT , at least 3 months. Golden nectar The pulp just needs sugar replaced to finish it into preserves, the water reduction keeps the preserves thicker.

Black raspberries precious as you said, Jon. Their season is short and they are very difficult to harvest in the wild. Their flavor is absolutely wonderful and totally different from mullberries, blackberries, and red raspberries. Their shelf life is really short too. They smell like perfume to me and they bring back so many memories of gathering and my sister making cobbler with them (to stretch them.) Their delicacy and difficulty of gathering is why I would bet that 99% of people have no idea of what they're missing by not ever having eaten them.

the 1670s method of using alcohol and berries infused is literally how you make a number of liqueurs at home using high grain alcohol and then the fruit and or spices/herbs you wish. Typically you freeze the berries (this replaces the hand bruising) and opens the berries, you then add them to a jar it can be as little as half a pound of berries and you only need to cover them with the high grain alcohol. You then leave it as this for a week shaking the contents in the jar (one with a clip top) so it's sealed. After the week you strain the liquid from the berries and then you just cut the liquid by adding water and sugar (best to use syrup which is boiled water and sugar) you do this by mixing them to get the abv you want. Instead of water and sugar you can also use fruit juice the abv wont be exact because of this but you can get it pretty close.

I've got a great old passed down many times recipe for homemade wine but it is one of those that take 4-8 weeks. However It only takes a gallon of fruit for 2.5 gallons finished yield. But the best thing to do when working with Raspberries or something of the sort, is to mix them half and half with Rhubarb. It's alot easier to get a bucket of rhubarb than a bucket of raspberries. Balances all the flavors out really well and if you have a decent rhubarb patch of your own then you know that you have too much rhubarb than you know what to do with. Chokecherries would probably be the one fruit you don't want to mix with anything. But you could mix almost anything with Rhubarb. Apple, Pear, Peach, Plum, Strawberry, almost anything you can think of. If you give this comment a Like I will share it with everyone haha.

There's a huge difference in fermenting. In order to produce alcohol, it has to be done below 52f, above 52 f it can ferment into vinegar. My dad, the plumber heating cooling guy, did and experiment with me, on fermenting. He stuck a fresh gallon of apple cider at the bottom of our fridge, and one on the pantry shelf. A month later we had apple cider wine and apple cider vinegar on the pantry shelf. Beer makers could not produce beer in the warm months because they needed a cooled place to make it. The first refrigerator cooling system was produced, all because Coors's Beer owned the first patent on refrigeration system. That patent lost out to a gas other then ammonia sulfide, I believe it was. Beer created refrigerators. Beer created the world as we know it, it even created algebra, farming, transportation $ trade, geometry, etc... all because someone collecting grains left a storage pot out in the rain, found a couple days latter, after the grain sprouted and it was carbonated, and they tasted it, and POOF, the first barley soda was founded. It just took off from there over the millennia. True Story, Nettflix: How Beer Saved the world!

You can absolutely ferment above 52F and not get vinegar. The acetobacter that make ethanol into acetic acid need oxygen to do that, so vinegar is impossible if you cut the fermenting liquid off from the air. I live in South Carolina and before I gave up drinking I would homebrew routinely during the summer when my thermostat was set for 80F. Never got vinegar unless I wanted it.
