Mulberry trees grow like crazy here in Michigan, and my family already makes apple wine. We're gonna try mulberry wine this year.

I enjoyed this video so much

Thanks for your very interesting article, here are a few more tips for how to make wine… Use the right equipment. Things like plastic buckets and bins come in different grades of plastic. You must use the food-grade plastic products not the cheaper buckets you might use to clean the floor! If plastic buckets and bins start getting scratched and grazed, replace them. The grazes will start harbouring microbes and eventually you’ll have a spoilt batch of wine. If stirring the must (the initial mix of fruit and water etc.) in a bin, scald the spoon with boiling water first to quickly sterilise it. Fill and top up airlocks with cooled, boiled water - never straight from the sink. Avoid metal spoons and sieves with fermenting wine - i.e. after the yeast has been added. Sometimes they can taint the wine. Avoid wooden spoons, which are hard to sterilise - plastic is far better. Reusing wine bottles is fine, ask friends to save them for you and check with local pubs or restaurants who are often willing to give them to you. Wash out immediately as a clean bottle will be a lot easier to sterilise when you come to use them. Rack your wine to clear it before bottling. That is, using a syphon tube, suck up the wine from one demijohn into another leaving the sediment (called lees) behind. The tubes with a base and valve are cheap enough and a make this quicker. Allow the wine to settle for a week and repeat if necessary before bottling Never judge your wine by the taste as you bottle it. Most often you will think it's a disaster. Some wines can take 2 years to mature. As a general rule, perhaps try a bottle after six months. If it tastes harsh, leave the rest for at least another six months. Allow time. Time is the great wine maker and you should never be in a rush. We’ve made wine that was 9 months in the demijohn before bottling and drunk it three years later. The next year it was even better! (I learned these and the reasons they work from Pavas Grape Plan website )

Cool!

Good Morning, and thank you.

Excellent

5:11 had me laughing pretty hard. Have a thumbs up.

I agree on the dirty water I use water locks. But instead of water I use a cheap vodka that way it kills all germs and wild yeast.

I have these trees growing in my yard so I'm going to do this I have the red type white type and the black type:)

I just discovered a huge Mulberry tree in my yard full of black ripe berries

Did you need to sterilize anything along the way? I don't have one of those funky fermenters, would a bottle and a prickled balloon suffice as an airlock?

Thanks for making the video. Anyone thinking of doing this, please watch videos on how to make beer at home or get the excellent book “the Complete Joy of Homebrewing” or similar. A bunch of steps are missing, which happily weren’t too important for the video poster, but you’ll want to at least be aware of.

Awesome. I have a mulberry tree in my yard that has been nothing but a nuisance. Until now.. :)

Now show us how to make mulberry brandy !!

I really want to try making this but not very easy to get mulberrys in London :/

Never heard of a funnel?

Should have done a proof test for the alcohol content

Okay, you've got me beat here! What's the accent? It sounds like a mixture of Aussie or Kiwi and American are what is coming out. I'm guessing from one side of the Pacific, and lived a while on the other side? Am I close?

how to order mulberry juose

What they like, bumble berries? I’ve been more into mead, oranges, raisins and champagne yeast from a home brew store.

Question?? Whats the alcohol content

May I ask why we need to remove the mulberry from the wine? Can't we just kept it inside? The other question is that can we put it longer in the container with the mulberry ?

How long between bottling/stewing in its own awesomeness and drinking?

Does it really taste like wine or sweet like a cocktail?

Did you store it in a fridge or just room temperature for a month.?

Can we add more sugar in day 3?!

what's the ratio of fruit, water and sugar to use....like how many cups of water to one pound of mulberries and how much sugar for that mix?

Can we use white mulberries instead of black ones?

Have a mulberry tree in the front yard. How much mulberries do you figure you’d need?

Super...care to share the measurements?

I don't have yeast. can I make?

What’s the point in boiling the mulberry to clean it up but use the same dirty water to ferment it?

what happened to you going back to Australia for good? are you still in china?

I'm sure it's been asked before: how did your accent develop?

Ok

I am confused, first he said the berrys where given to him, and the he said he bought them in a "dirty Chinese market."

heh ya boiled off the yeast and added yeast

Dirty Chinese market, goes to throw the word dirty around but the kitchen and use of news papers said something else. Anyway, it was a good watch

Boy!!! You mean to tell me that you don't grow your own Mulberries?

I have spent months studying making good wine and came across a fantastic resource at Pavas grape plan (google it if you're interested)

"Hot enough to kill any dirty marketplace bacteria"... You mean you think it was hot enough. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bb

1 kilo of "sugar" in a plastic bag

Clumsy

My wife is Chinese and she would have already ran me out of the kitchen.

Ok if you want to get a gnat pissed

Amateur hour wine making!!! Why not mash the mulberrys and add vodka? Better still get C.J. Berry's book and learn how to make country wines properly.

R u demonstrating wine making or insulting chinese product

This is silly. You didn’t get any exact measurements for ingredients. Times or anything. not informative at all. Complete waste of my time watching this.

very unprofessional, very bad video

double down vote

greatvid. no %$#!! music, y da sheeples do that ?? when u spilt the wine ( alcohol abuse !!), reminded me of the christmas song , ( dont recall name ) , but some lyrics , ( check the whisky for toxicity, )as it goes on words get slurred......home made ..good . we got the trees , so i'm a gonna make my own , and thanks 4 the no b-s vid !! prost !!
