How To Make Wine With 2 Ingredients

[@kb2vca]

Apologies for coming late to this party. Fascinating video. I make wines from fruits and vegetables as a home wine maker. Here are a couple of thoughts: 1. If you dissolve 1 lb of table sugar in water to make 1 US gallon of liquid, the specific gravity of that sugar water will be about 1.045 and at that density that solution will have a potential to ferment to make a “wine” of about 6% alcohol by volume (ABV). 2. Mulberries likely have about 1 lb of sugar dissolved in 1 US gallon of their own juice. So, if your mother’s wine produced 1 US gallon and she had added 1 lb of sugar, the potential ABV would be around 12% (a typical table wine). My guess is that the amount of wine produced was far less and the amount of sugar your mother added was also far less than a pound (Could be very wrong but that is what the video appeared to suggest). I am thinking the wine was more likely 9% ABV. And if it was sweet tasting, then not all the fermentable sugars were fermented (indigenous yeast are not nearly as robust and viable as lab cultured yeast so they are far more likely to quit fermenting (alcohol is toxic to yeast) with lots of sugar left unfermented, so the total alcohol may be closer to 7or 8%. If the wine is very sweet, then the alcohol level would be even less. 3. I regularly make mulberry wine and mine are at 12 % . One delightful variation is to add cocoa or chocolate to the wine. You can do that by adding cocoa nibs or as I did, by adding 4 oz of malted barley (for every gallon of wine) roasted very dark and used in brewing beer to make chocolate flavored beers. You need to boil the grains in water but those grains are so roasted that they have no sugars that can be fermented. They add only flavor.

So interesting, thanks!

[@mistaowickkuh6249]

It always feels amazing to pop open a fermentation project and smell the alcohol in it whether it's a drink or some dough. It means you did it right and succeeded. Fills me with pride each time, it never gets old.

[@yasminnilima2366]

I just planted 2 mullberry trees yeasterday! I hope they will thrive !

[@wendiland]

They should as they are hardy trees! They are deciduous trees so don't be alarmed if leaves fall in autumn.

[@yasminnilima2366]

@@wendiland I did choose 2 different kinds. One hardy, made for Swedish conditions, Calles MULLE and one little less hard but should do fine. I did Dell in love with mullberries when I was working in NYC. The weather there is similar to Sweden but warmer. Lot's of love from Sweden!

[@thistlemoon1]

I had 1 big mulberry tree in my yard when we moved here almost 40 years ago. The birds decided we needed more and now I have 6.

[@radickalify]

How did they do

[@baneverything5580]

I planted four dwarf varieties this year for me and the tweety birds. Gonna make a lot of wine too hopefully.

I really appreciate you taking the time to put in the information about the dangers of alcohol. I am able to have a drink and stop but have family that is devastated by their alcoholism. You never know when a small bit of info could help someone.

[@allon33]

So nice. I have started by drying fruit, I dried a lot of peaches this years, thin slices in the dehydrator is good for long term storage.

[@richvonile]

This is great! I just made some cuttings to plant them.

[@minwellitsanicknamebegrate2531]

I grew up with mulberry trees and would ruin tons of shirts by using them as make shift baskets & stain them with juice, I would skip lunch to stay outside and fill up on mulberries I would always wonder how my parents knew I had been eating them and never realized it was because of my clothes . Thinking back it reminds me of how we would give gallons of mulberries to friends and family and they would make all kinds of things with them cobbler, ice cream, drinks, alcohol( my dad’s best friend would make moon shine with peaches and mulberries)jams & jelly, muffins, cakes you name it. The funny thing is that my parents never made anything with them we always ate fresh and let people come and pick them to take home we did the same with blackberries . We tried to gather enough to make something but didn’t have the will power to resist eating all of them before we made it back to he house.

[@tao6330]

how to pull the wine from the jar into a cup without leaking?

[@doodahgurlie]

I have never seen mulberries that big or plentiful. So jealous! Never look closely at the mulberries because they are infested with worms. Just pop in your mouth and chew. LOL! I've fermented a lot of stuff and always thought it needs air for fermentation to work (but also so it doesn't explode), so that's interesting to see you guys don't do that. I'm also surprised that much sugar was used since the berries have some sweetness to them. But I'm more of a kombucha, kefir, yogurt, etc., type of fermentor. :)

[@bluestarrbeauty]

Great video. I can and ferment but have not dabbled in the making of alcohols yet. I'm curious would the process be the same with grapes? I have 200 ft of concord to play with....

[@wendiland]

yup, she's done it with grapes, plums and others the same way.

[@bbim2612]

Is there and alternative for can sugar .

[@armoughsworld9387]

Can i use granulated light brown sugar instead of raw cane sugar?!

[@AnhNguyen-kp2ls]

What kind of mulberry? Are they sweet? Can I plant them in pots?

[@JohnInph]

Love your videos. My Papa & Mama was from Italy & in USA we grow plums & figs in the backyard when I was young and my Papa would make wine. Your video brings back many memories about 50 years ago. Thanks keep up the great job. John living in the Philippines now. Stay safe.

[@wendiland]

That’s so sweet. Thanks for sharing your story. Stay safe as well!

[@carolewarner101]

Does she have specific ratios of sugar to berries by weight or volume or does she just wing it? Does she never use any kind of air lock? Would love to have you post the recipe!

[@reneee_abella]

You can even make a porridge with rice and mulberry leaves its delicious

[@wendiland]

Sometimes we harvest tender new leaves adding to salads. Shall try with porridge next time. :)

[@wendiland]

@Cosmos Poppies Raw leaves don't taste like much to me, very mild. Drying the leaves for tea makes a difference. Flavor really comes out in tea using dried leaves.

[@reneee_abella]

@Cosmos Poppies I never tried a raw leave ..try the porridge u will surely like it .. you can add alittle bit of ginger garlic paste to remove the smell of the leave.

I made this recipe with our very abundant crop of mulberries. We waited over 12 months before trying. I was SO good. We also bottled it into pretty bottles and gave it away as gifts!❤

Yay! It is so yummy! Making something and wait for a year to try because you saw a video on it.. lol Thank you.

Sorting mulberries for jam right now. Thinking of trying wine too

[@jackeduprecruit]

My neighbors have a yard full of blackberries they don't maintain so the vines have been growing over to our side of the fence. My sis made blackberry wine last year but this year I took the unripe red and green berries in hopes of making a tart wine because I like sour things 😅

[@jyc210]

Hi Wendi, I just bottling my mulberry wine too(made last year too, and it smell so amazing). I'm just curious about the contents about "methyl alcohol". Did you check it or not? If so, how? My mom made a 10 year old mulberry wine and stunning me, so I started making my own one. The elder can told you the recipe and how to do it(exactly like your method, and the product looks quite same to me), but they have no idea about the food safety problem, and it worry me.

[@joneslo5572]

Can we use powdered sugar instead of rock sugar?

[@jadenthomas1169]

No yeast necessary?

[@childfairytale1212]

hello, sister. for sugar, can we use other or normal sugar?

[@wendiland]

Probably ok to use regular sugar although we never tried.

[@echandoaperder]

Really good video, thanks! What can I substitute for, if I don't have raw cane sugar? Regular sugar would be fine or not?

[@wendiland]

I think regular sugar should be fine even though we’ve never tested it. You just need some kind of sugar to feed the yeast. Probably can use honey as well, although I haven’t tested that either. lol

[@elmclovin1]

Why not just use granulated Cain sugar..??

[@donb.puryearjr.8699]

I just came across this vlog. I really like the editing, the music, and of course the wine making........😊

Awesome video and very easy method just gotta be patient and wait. I found about 5 trees of Mulberries and there's just so much that Idk what to do with them I'm making jam and juice as I'm typing this but still got a lot left so was looking up for options and saw your video so I'll be making wine with the rest 😁 thank you for sharing.

[@amanda69]

I have about 6 gallon of mulberry in my refrigerator that I'm trying to figure out what to make with them. I was thinking about making some wine. I'm not a drinker either, but I still think it would be interesting to make my own. What is the ratio of sugar to berries? Thanks

[@wendiland]

It would be so cool! Get going on them soon since mulberries will go bad fast. Mulberry natural have yeast so it will ferment or turn to alcohol eventually even without the sugar. Although sugar does feed the yeast, we mostly add the amount that is more for taste preference. There’s no measurement so to guess I’d say about 60-70% fruit, 30-40% sugar. You can also add more sugar later. Have fun!

[@uniqutilities2831]

I thought there was a super involved process to make wine, with guys stomping on grapes and whatnot... This has influenced me to try with another fruit, just to see how it turns out. Your mom is amazing!

[@wongahbee4074]

Hi, I like your simple & easy method . But what's the amount of sugar is needed ? So no water or yeast is needed too? I intend to try my daily plucked frozen mulberries from my flower pot. So do I've to sun dry it before I follow your method. Pls advise. Thanks.

[@wendiland]

There’s no exact measurement for sugar. Casually layer them between the berries. Add more sugar if you like the wine sweeter. My mom doesn’t have experience working with frozen, but if they were fresh raw it might still work. You would be able to pack more in if the berries thawed first. Good luck! 👍

[@wongahbee4074]

Thanks Wendi for sharing your knowledge.

[@richardmang2558]

The more sugar you add the higher the alcohol content will become if you let it completely finish fermentation. If you want it to be sweet you will have to halt the fermentation process by either placing it in refrigeration to put the yeast to sleep or use sulfites to kill the yeast when the flavor is where you want it. Otherwise the yeast will consume all of the sugar and turn it into alcohol.

[@namrata465]

Can we use glass bottle instead of jar?

[@wendiland]

I recommend using bottles or jars with larger mouth. Fermentation process may cause it to bubble over. When wine is ready to drink, can strain it to transfer to any bottles you like.

[@radickalify]

Can you replace the sugar with honey.?

[@wendiland]

Haven’t tried, but don’t see why not. My theory: June tea is fermented with honey and fruits. I assume it’s ok with wine too?

[@teresaholland4790]

I always look forward to your videos there’s never enough thank you for your mother sharing this with us appreciate it. Cheers, Florida.
