Taking On the Satisfying Task of Making Homemade Wine With Fruit |
|
Fruits are certainly the most suitable ingredients in making wines. However, it is somewhat hopeless to try making wines from rhubarb as it would be to try to grow potatoes on a pear tree and it is in this respect that many people would go astray; they make wines from the cheapest and most readily available fruits but the fact remains that they do not give the slightest thought to what the result will be or whether they will like it or not.

Fruits are certainly the most suitable ingredients in making wines. However, it is somewhat hopeless to try making wines from rhubarb as it would be to try to grow potatoes on a pear tree and it is in this respect that many people would go astray; they make wines from the cheapest and most readily available fruits but the fact remains that they do not give the slightest thought to what the result will be or whether they will like it or not.
However, it should be taken into account that varied amounts of fruit and sugar with the use of proper method produce distinctly different types of wine.
NOTE: If there is not quite enough space for all of this last lot of syrup, put the remainder in a sterilized screw-top bottle and store for a few days in a cool place. This may be added when fermentation has reduced the level of the liquid in the jar. If you have to do this, don't forget to refit the lock. In addition, in each recipe appears the name of the best yeast to use and this is best added as a nucleus as already described. If you must use bakers' yeast or dried yeast, merely sprinkle it over the surface of the 'must' at the time given in the method you are using.
This principle applies where three or four gallons are being made and it is easy enough to work out. Just to be sure that mistakes do not occur when adding the syrup-sugar and water-stick a label on the jar and note on this the amount added.
BLACKBERRY WINE (Port Style): 4lb. blackberries, 4lb. sugar (or 5lb. invert), 7pts. water, port yeast, nutrient. Use method 1. Ferment the pulp. BLACKBERRY AND ELDERBERRY WINE (Port Style): 2 1/2lb. elderberries, 2 1/2lb. blackberries, 7pts. water, 3 1/2lb. sugar (or 4lb. invert), port yeast, nutrient. Use method 1. Ferment the pulp after crushing and mixing together.
