Instroduction
Wines are produced from fruit juice or pulp by fermenting sugars into alcohol using “wine yeasts”. Almost any fruit can be used, but the most popular are pineapple, papaya, grape, passionfruit, banana, melon and strawberry.
The main equipment is narrow-necked fermentation vessels, made from food grade plastic or glass and plugged with cotton wool or fitted with an air lock. After fermenting, wine is filtered through a muslin or nylon cloth and siphoned into clean containers and allowed to clear before it is bottled. A clearing agent such as bentonite is needed to produce a crystal-clear product with some types of fruit.
This blog website is about “Making Wine In Your Home”, an instructional on how to make wine. Made simple, with easy-to-understand instructions, on how to get the job done.
It requires very little money, and very little effort. It does require a bit of time, but this is due to the fermenting process. When you get right down to it, everything that’s worth doing requires time.
The supplies required for making wine, will be the biggest obstacle. I have discovered that most kitchens have enough utensils to more than “get the job done”.
I should say that making wine is one of the most satisfying things that you will ever achieve. Simply because its really simple, and because time does all the grunt work for you!
