Making Blueberry Wine Complete

Re-release of video showing the initial steps in making 1 gallon of blueberry wine including the 9-month tasting.
Note: I am not a professional winemaker. I hold no responsibility if the results of your winemaking causes injury or ill health. This is as natural (where possible) winemaking channel. The wines made on this channel do not use sulfites. You may use them and\or yeast nutrients and or energizers if that is how you prefer to make your wine/mead. This channel uses pasteurization.
ngredients:
3 Pounds (1.36 kilograms) of blueberries
4 1/2 cups of sugar
1 gallon (4 liters) water
1/4 teaspoon (1.23 grams) Wine yeast
1/4 cup (0.0591 liters) of strong tea
1/4 lemon (updated 8/23)
Straining bags (optional)
Campden Tablets (optional)
Pectic Enzyme (optional)
French Oak chips (optional)
During the first 3 days give your musk a good stir, and to break up the fruit cap that will form if you are not using straining bags. Rack into secondary after 5 - 7 days, and continue to rack every 4-6 weeks until clear. Degas, back sweeten, bottle let age for at least 12 months total.

Enjoyed your show, Sir. Youve inspired me to give it a try. Thank You.

[@andreawhyte7220]

Just about to rack my first blueberry wine fermenting for two weeks. Got good informative info from you. Thanks

[@spudhut2246]

Thank you. Refreshing to watch

[@andersonsprairieviewfarm2552]

Awesome, thanks Charles, as always great content.

[@DIYFermentation]

Much appreciated!

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

You look so happy with this one!

[@DIYFermentation]

I think I still have a bottle left.

[@matthewt.3582]

youtube recommended this channel to me, i really like the videos!

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you for watching. Two years ago when this video was made as a relatively new channel, KZbin wasn't recommending diddly. Now that they they can collect ad revenue...

[@alexcan669]

Great job on the video charles. I always keep Blueberry wine on rotation I leave mine dry (.994 or .996) and let it age. It always ends up tasting like a red wine reminiscent of a Syrah

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank you for sharing.

[@dockofthebaycountrywines69]

Another one bites the dust!❤️

[@DIYFermentation]

Yep!

[@mdspider]

I use my swing-top bottles for my sparkling wines because they are made to handle pressure. Thanks for the video.

[@DIYFermentation]

I did not properly degas this batch, The effect was unintentional, but thankfully low-level.

[@mdspider]

@@DIYFermentation Totally understand. Just giving a suggestion for when you make one.

[@tucatnev123]

The bottom list is a really cool idea and it would be interesting to make them better. Or even is it good up for a challenge for fellow fermenters?

[@DIYFermentation]

Thank y ou for watching.

[@bobbyvogelgesang9467]

Best 2gln batch i ever made!!! I love blueberries

[@DIYFermentation]

I can't wait to open the two year old bottle from that batch.

[@devinmccray8207]

When you macerate the berries, do you leave them on the counter during that time? Love your channel!

[@DIYFermentation]

Refrigerator.

[@washingtonstreet7084]

I'm a fan. Are you worried about continued fermentation and corks flying or glass failure? Or, do you think the yeast has passed to the great beyond?

[@DIYFermentation]

No, back when this batch was made, I was using a non-fermentable sugar to back sweeten the wine. Since then I now pasteurize my wines.

[@louisianaprepper13]

Charles, did you use the campden tablets before back sweetening?

[@DIYFermentation]

Since this early video, I no longer use sulfites in my wines. Even then I did not use wine stabilizers, but non-fermentable sugar, but I did not properly degas this batch.

The Bob Ross of wine

[@IrieFabs]

That's an actual insult to Bob Ross

[@javim2501]

@@IrieFabsrelax little guy

[@papasmurf9146]

My blueberry wine showed great promise, but then dropped all of the blueberry flavor. Back sweetening brought the blueberry flavor back.

[@DIYFermentation]

I have a 2-year old bottle from this batch that I am ready to open. I won't do another video, but it should be fun.

[@JrLv38944]

@@DIYFermentation how was that 2 yr bottle ?
