how do you make wine from fresh vine grapes?

Question

i want an easy recipe.

Answer 1

Get the juice out of them. (crush them, even use a potato masher). If your grapes are red and you want red wine, leave the peels in there. If you want blush, strain them out. If your grapes are green, then it doesn't really matter, but for a clearer wine, strain the peels out. Then, add yeast. How much and what kind? well, if you're handy to a beer and wine kit store, ask the salesmand for wine yeast. If not, you can try with regular baker's yeast, but it takes much more (at least 100 grams for a 5 gallon bucket). Then you want to cover your bucket (assuming you ARE using a 5 gallon bucket) and leave it alone for a couple of months in a room where the temperature will constantly be around 20 degrees celcius. After, you will need to siphen the liquid out in order to leave the sediment on the bottom of the bucket, preferably into a big glass container (called a "carboy"). Leave it in there for as long as it takes (until there are no bubbles rising to the surface). Once there are no more bubbles (probably another couple of months), siphen it again (called "racking") to get it away from more sediments in the bottom. Now, you should stir vigorously for a few minutes about three times a day to take out the "fizz". Once this is done, you can bottle it or leave it a while longer, whatever floats your boat, though the longer the better, yet you don't want to loose too much alcohol through evaporation. At this point, you can drink it, but it will taste "raw", so it's best to leave it alone for a year or more. Remember the part about making sure there are no more bubbles rising? If you skipped this step and bottled your wine prematurely, you will be having bottles popping their corks in a few months as carbonation is still happening. Your wine kit store can provide you with a chemical you can add to kill the fermentation prior to bottling in order to prevent popping bottles, but myself I like to make it all natural.

That's the basics. I know you wanted a simple, short answer, but there are none if you want to make it correctly. You might want to check out www.homedistillers.org for nifty recipies.

Answer 2

there is not any speedy ordinary thanks to make reliable wine. First, make certain even if you've wine grapes or eating grapes. If the former, a competent e book is From Vines to Wines. you may stay away from multiple the extra complicated steps, which contain by using utilising a 2x4 and bath, really than a crusher, yet making fairly reliable wine calls for artwork. it really is properly worth it.

Answer 3

Watch "I Love Lucy" for a tutorial. Just know that it involves stepping on the grapes with your feet. Make sure you wash well before hand or you'll end up with "stinky" wine.

Answer 4

You need a fruit press to extract the juice, and fermentation vessels.... and yeast, and sulfaites...

Answer 5
