Who knows how to make wine?

Question

I was given a science project where i have to make wine out using yeast and a few other ingridients. Does anyone know how to make it!

P.S I dont mind how long the explanation is just as long as it makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It is very easy to make wine. Check the internet for recipes and more information. Simply put, you need fruit juice, sugar, and yeast. Also a vessel for it to ferment in, some saran wrap or ziploc bags and rubber bands.You did not mention how much wine you should make for your project. To make 5 gallons I suggest getting one of those 5 gallon water cooler bottles. Fill with your selected unprocessed fruit juice and add a packet of preferably a professional winemakers yeast as recommended in any recipe. ( I used plain old Fleishmann's bakers yeast but that is not a good way to go. It makes a terrible tasting wine.) Follow the directions for how much sugar to add to the juice. (The more sugar, the higher alcohol content of the wine.) Wine will stop fermenting when the alcohol content hits about 18% as the alcohol kills off the yeast and fermenttation process at that alcohol content level. Add also the recommended amount of yeast and place a zip lock bag or a bubble of saran wrap over the top (neck) of the vessel in a balloon shape add a small hole to the bag or saran wrap bubble and seal it around the neck with a strong rubber band. When fermentation starts it gives off carbon dioxide which will fill the covering forcing out oxygen and thereby creating an airlock so bad bacterial can't get into the mix during fermentation. Set aside in a cool dry place and fermentation begins almost immediately. I suggest getting a tester to test for sugar content of the juice to determine the amount of sugar present. Also get a tester to measure alcohol content as it ferments and you can buy a professional air lock too instead of the zip lock bag method. The intenet and the library has a wealth of info more than I can provde here. I just gave the basics. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

The basic steps to making a drinkable alcoholic beverage:
The easy way:

Buy a 5 gallon / 23 liter bucket of grape juice. ($25.- to $50.-)
Do not open.
Leave it in a spot between 70°F / 20°C and 80°F / 30°C for a month or two.
The warmer the faster she goes.

Open it without shaking it.

Siphon off the contents, into gallon jugs with screw-lids or 2 liter coke bottles, leaving most of the sediment on the bottom of the bucket.

Drink the stuff.

Optionally you can siphon the bucket into another almost airtight container and let it sit for another month or three before "bottling". This is especially a good idea if the juice is still murky.

This process is best suited for soonest enjoyment.
If you really gotta get fancy and just have to "bottle" with real corks, make sure you store the bottles in a place cooler than 60°F / 15°C or you may find the corks everywhere except in the bottles when next you thirst for a cool glass.

Applicable hints: Those plastic buckets can be harder to open than Fort Knox unless you have a special tool. If you cut a hole in the lid with a knife, it's hard to see what you're doing when you're siphoning, but it works, without shaking up all the sediment. Of course you ruin the lid but maybe you know a supermarket or a restaurant where you can get an endless supply of those buckets. Duct tape or packing tape may also make the lid of some use again.

Tie the siphoning tube to a long wooden stick, with two or three rubber-bands, an inch or two off the end of the stick. That way you can shove the stick to the bottom, leaving the siphon tube high enough not to suck up a lot of sediment.

Take those books on wine-making and wine-appreciation, that you bought a few years back, and use them to block up one side of the bucket a couple of inches and stick the siphoning hose in the deep part of the bucket.
