I've messed around with wine making for a couple of years now, mostly ending up with vinegar which was great for cleaning - if a trifle expensive. Then I came across this recipe - I've made it once and am currently drinking it (its 3 weeks from start). Its exactly what he says - a good comparator to a £5 supermarket wine, and it costs much less. I'm certainly making more. Great recipe. Thanks. I'm making another batch this week. Its really very tasty (and I didn't bother with the pectolase, bentonite - the flavour is what matters, and it tastes really nice - I did use the glucose).

I learned how to make wine 50 years ago from my mum. Between us, we tried many things, including used tea bags (tasted like sherry!), rose petals (deliciously delicate), elder flowers, apples, etc. but I think the best was from blackberries (full-bodied and gorgeous colour). Homemade wine is usually not like the store-bought stuff from grapes, but it can be surprisingly good, if a little different. An ooccasional issue we had was getting the finished wine to clear, without using unwelcome chemicals. After a couple of glasses though, it somehow seemed less important...

This is how I make wine, when I transfer it to a secondary fermenter I put in some toasted oak chips and let that sit for 2 to 3 weeks and then decant into wine bottles and let them sit for about a month, tastes like store bought. Take care Chilli Chump, oh by the way, I bought a bottle of your blazing buffalo sauce and Cajun rub, both were excellent!
@roblamb83274 жыл бұрын
The oak chips provide a convenient source of tannins (cheaply and conveniently substituting the process of ageing wines in oak casks), and depending on your level of impatience, reduces the need for including tea-bagged tea. Another good excuse (as if you needed it) to experiment. Incidentally using USED teabags for their tannin content is just as good as using new teabags as the tannins are amongst the last 'flavours' to be released, so it makes sense to brew a lot of tea first to quench your thirst while reusing the teabag as a 'tannin bag' to add the robustness to your 'wine'.

I like making wine out of jam. Wine made from blackcurrant jam is awesome. I have found that it clears surprisingly well. When I first tried it I thought it would end up quite cloudy because of the pectin but it came out clear as glass without the need to add clearing agents or racking repeatedly. I found 2 jars will make a gallon of wine that is about 8-9%abv. 4 jars will make a gallon that is up to 15% and has a much more concentrated flavor.
@alvagoldbook24 жыл бұрын
I've been making fruit wines for years. There's an art to wine making, but don't let that scare you. The darker and richer the fruit, the better it tends to be for wine type recipes, the lighter and less strong tasting the fruit, the better it tends to be for beer type recipes. The higher the acid content of the wine, the longer it takes to mature. A dry wine is a wine that has little to no sugar left over, a wet wine has sugar. People often thing that a wine is either dry or wet, but a little bit of sugar left over in certain kinds of wines is lovely, depending on the fruit. Beer type recipes (ciders) can be ready quickly, and I've used pear, honeydew and apple and others. Wines take longer, but if you get used to making it regularly, you'll soon find out that after a year you'll start to build up a stock pile. One of my favorite wines to make is blueberry and raspberry. Blueberry is low acid and matures within 8-12 months. Raspberry needs longer, and due to it's tartness, it's good to leave a bit of extra sugar in. Blackberry is lovely too, but is very low sugar, and without adding sugar to the recipe, will end up painfully dry. In the USA, you can get concentrated juice (Welch's makes it) and I've used these to make wines. 2-3 of them per gallon seems to work well. Using Welch's white grape peach is lovely for a white wine, and using white grape as a base to add other fruit like apple or pear is lovely too. I would avoid orange or other citrus unless you want to cut it with white grape, it's too acidic, and the wine remains cloudy in my experience. An easy way to make wine is to buy frozen fruit in bags. Allow them to thaw, put them n a blender, strain with pantyhose to get some of the fibers out if need be, and ferment with a wine yeast. Strawberry is a lovely wine, but it will remind you quite a lot of strawberry jam. The same is true for Concord grape, which is used to make most grape jelly n the USA. The flavor is fine, but it does taste like drinking liquid grape jelly. I picked up a few bags of mixed fruit (blackberry, raspberry and blueberry) and threw that in the blender and made a wine, and it turned out pretty nice. My all time favorite is raspberry. I've heard very good things about cherry too, but I've never got around to making it. The cool things about this is that you can make wine out of literally anything. Are you crazy and want to make onion wine? It's possible. Jalapeno wine. Tomato wine. Celery wine. Carrot wine. Got some fruit or veggie that you love more than anyone else? Turn it into a wine. It's possible.

ltandk Holbrook different yeast strains will have different alcohol tolerances. Basically, the alcohol eventually kills the yeast once it gets to a certain concentration. The strongest and most robust yeast out there then to die after the wine reaches 15% alcohol. I prefer to ferment with a gentler yeast for most fruit wines, and then add in those beasties to finish things up. You’ll be surprised by how much which yeast you use will effect the flavor. The only way to be sure of the alcohol percentage is to use a hydrometer. It’s a simple tool (a glass tube) that allows you to measure the density of liquids. You measure once before the fermentation, and then after the fermentation, and the difference in densities will tell you how much sugar is converted to alcohol.

My first homemade Wine was a Tea and Raisin. We were watching the Demijohn rather than the Tele but it did not start working until the next day ofcourse. I eventually used a 10 gallon Carboy and a couple of 5 gallon buckets for the main ferment of a mixture of Elderberry (mostly) apples and raisons. Assembled a good cellar never less than 60-70 bottles and that gives the Elderberry time to mature. In the between times I made gallon brews like this but it was in Cans at the time Orrange and pineapple I think, it is a long time ago. It was OK but a bit harsh relative to my normal output. The Elderberry and Apple would have given a Cote de Rhone a run for its money. That was 45 years ago. You have piqued my interest. Thanks.

The sediment at the bottom is not all "dead yeast" there is a process to wash the sediment at the bottom for reuse. I'd go with "cold crashing" instead of bentonite, which is basically mud. Cold crashing is easy enough, just put it in a refrigerator or as close to freezing as possible for 2-3 days after fermentation is complete, and the yeast will drop out of suspension.

I have a few different recipes for homemade wine. One of my favorites is 2/3 grape juice and 1/3 apple juice. Another thing that is nice is make a mead instead. For a nice 1 gallon elderberry mead recipe I use 46 ounces of honey, 4 ounces of dried elderberries, and enough water to bring the volume up to the same volume that you had this one at.

My goto recipe: 4 pounds of frozen blueberries 3 pounds of sugar 1 gallon of water. D-47 Wyeast yeast nutrient. Be advised you need at least a 2 gallon jug to ferment in. The blueberries add volume. Should end up with about 1.25 gallons when racked.

If you don't have a proper fermentation lock, you can use a plain latex balloon with a pin prick hole in the end, strecth it over the end of your jug and you are good to go.

This method works Amazingly, I have tried it and it's 👍👍👍, although I have found it takes me 4weeks to have a good wine both in terms of taste and appearance. But it's amazing the wine am making is way better than the shelf wines I have been buying.

I've just made five gallons using Muscadines (Wild Alabama type Musk grapes, as are used in the production of Muscado, etc.) Though our local variety are quite large and juicy, and I supplemented them with large concord grapes, so, we'll see, in a month or so, when it some time to second ferment.

I also add a banana to my frozen fruit wines. Collect small plums along the hedgerows when I can, but we only get one good crop about every 4 years. Sloes also make a nice wine, as they are member of the plum family. I am currently experimenting with a strawberry jam wine. from a 36p jar of Savers jam and a banana. @trixiek942

Here there was frost again this morning with a couple of freezes yet to pass thru Sun / Mon nights. Stay Spicy! Happy Gardening! -Bob...

My late Nana in law taught me how to make wine it's very similar to this but the process takes about a month minimum and longer the better. The difference between is we put all ingredients in a bucket give it a good mix cover it with a towel and leave it for eight to ten days giving it a very gentle stir each day then transfer it to a demijon for at least a month and racking it off from the sediment at the bottom as and when needed.
