How to make sunberry wine
To make homemade wine, you can use not only grapes, but also any other berries. By consuming such a drink in moderation, you can replenish the body with the necessary trace elements, vitamins and other nutrients. The average daily amount for an adult should be 50-70 ml.
Home winemaking has been gaining momentum lately. And this is not surprising. Wine made at home, with your own hands, carries the rich taste of natural berries and will give you a great mood.
If special wine yeast is not used in the production of wine, then it is better not to wash the berries, so as not to lose the natural microflora that nests on the skin of the fruit. You can also add a handful of raisins. This will ensure the fermentation process and give the drink a noble flavor in the taste.
If all the measures taken did not give the desired effect, you can add a little bread yeast. Otherwise, the drink may turn sour.It is not recommended to use brewer's yeast here; it will not withstand a high concentration of alcohol and will quickly stop fermenting.
To make Sunberry wine you will need a 10-15 liter bottle, which should be 2/3 full. The neck should be closed with a stopper so that it allows air to pass through. In the process of wine fermentation, carbon dioxide is actively released, and high pressure is created. Therefore, the gas must be removed, but so carefully that oxygen does not enter the bottle of wine from the Sunberry, which activates the vital activity of bacteria that convert alcohol into acetic acid.
Can be used:
- cotton wool;
- rubber glove (prick holes with a needle);
- water seal.
Leave the bottle of Sunberry wine out of direct sunlight, but not completely dark.
