5Steps on Winemaking
6Step One - Choose your recipe and fruit
- For your first attempt at winemaking, it is
usually best to stick to a simple,
straightforward recipe for grape wine.
7Step Two - Wash your equipment
- Clean equipment before starting the process of
making wine.
8Step Three - Extract flavor
- Depending on the recipe that you are following,
you will need to extract the aroma and flavor of
the fruit by crushing, chopping, soaking,
pressing, or boiling.
9Step Four - Blend Additives
- There is more to wine than just fruit, and these
other ingredients are necessary to the flavor,
quality, and shelf life of your vintage.
Pay close attention to the order in which you
blend in additives.
10- Once the additives have been blended into the
primary fermentation container, the wine will
begin fermenting.
This process usually lasts from 3 to 10 days
during which time the container should be covered
loosely with a piece of cloth and a rubber band
around the opening.
11Step Five - Transfer into the secondary
fermentation container
- The wine will need to ferment in this container
for several weeks.
12Step Six - Rack Wine
- Racking is the process of siphoning the wine off
the sediments into a clean secondary fermentation
container.
13Step Seven - Bottling
- When the wine is sufficiently clear and the
fermentation process has ended, it will be time
to bottle your vintage.
It is important not to overfill the bottles and
to secure corks tightly.
