How to Make Wine from Fruit The Only Wine Recipe You Will Ever Need- Part IV - Bottling Wine

This is how you make wine from fruit. This video series concentrates on the making of wine directly from fresh picked fruit or frozen fruit. It is relatively simple once you know the equipment you need and the necessary ingredients and the process of turning fruit into wine. This is Part IV of a 4 part series of making wine. (Finishing and Bottling)
It is a great hobby and if you like wine, you can not beat homemade wine that you have made. You can share with your friends or just keep it all to yourself. Once you get the equipment and ingredients you can make wine from .50 cents per bottle to 3.00 dollars per bottle which is cheap.
But it's really not about the savings, its about the taste. Literally this recipe is the best Fruit Wine I ever have tasted and have been told by others that as well.

I have watched all 4 parts of this series. As an amateur brewer myself, I must say that I am impressed! Nice video quality, good commentary and apparently great product! Well done! I work on much smaller scale (1 gallon-which gives me 4 bottles per batch). Following are my comments/observations (for whatever they worth 😊) 1) Star san is not available in my part of the world however, I have got access to 50% hydrogen peroxide. Being an experienced chemist I use it as a sanitizer at about 1.5% dilution. It is a great sanitizer. Never have lost a batch. 2) on my scale, I have found egg white is an effective clarifying agent. I use 2 teaspoons per batch and it makes the batch clear as yours. 3) rather than using Camden tablets for final disinfection, I prefer to pasteurise my wine. It is simple procedure for my scale. On a 5 gallon batch probably Camden tabs are easier way to go. 4) I adjust the wine sweetness based on the gravity. At about 1.00 to 1.01 you get semi sweet wine and 1.02 definitely gives sweet wine. 4) on your scale the dead air volume in the raking vessel is definitely a significant oxygen source especially when you rake it 3-4 times. Have you considered purging the vessel with CO2?

@HowToDoneRight Жыл бұрын

This is some great tips and thanks so much for commenting and give us ideas to think about. CO2 purging is just not necessary. You would have to expose your wine for many hours to be affected by oxygen. I have never had an oxygen issue when Bottling or racking. But I know some people do it so whatever works for you. Thanks again may try the egg whites and test it.🙂🙂👍👍❤️❤️

@bruce9648 9 ай бұрын

@@HowToDoneRightjust one question why when you start racking do you add more wine to get it to original capacity of the five gallon container I seen where you added some more wine so I watched all the series and I don't get why you do that I know there's a reason but my light just hasn't come on yet LOL, and so when I first do this should I just go ahead and go out and buy a bottle of two or wine ? I would rather not have to go out and buy wine if I'm trying to make it myself so can it be juice ? You made everything real easy to understand I appreciate it🇺🇲🦅🌍⚓ USMC

Great instructional video. I had stopped making wine due to several personal challenges and I don't think I will restart my hobbies but I suggested to one of my children who is interested to follow your channel. I'm not a fan of sweet wines like the two of you but your wine had a great color. The one thing I came away with from an old man we affectionately called "Uncle" was make your wine taste like you like it, don't try to please everyone else. He was so right so if you inspire others they would do well to make it to please themselves and ironically you'd be surprised how many other people will like it too.

Hi... your videos are brilliant. My question is what happens if you added the excess sugar ( used for sweetening the wine) in the starting.

@HowToDoneRight 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much. Alot of people add excess sugar up front. Once your yeast can't consume any more sugar or your alcohol content gets too high, the yeast will die leaving wine sweet. However alot harder to control rather than backsweeten ar the end. ♥️♥️👍👍😁😁

Next time you add the Bentonite, just pour it in the wine ,as it falls to the bottom of the carboy it will have softened , Then simply stir no fuss no muss. The wine kit I use calls to add the bentonite to the fermentation pale liquid after mixing it in warm water ?{what a bloody mess} I then just add it to the pale and let it settle wait then stir ! I have been making the wine kits for 10 years from Costco, and I started adding frozen store Blueberry's ,I put them in a blender then pour in the fermentation pale .The people that have tried my wine said they would pay for wine like that , The more people that have heard of my wine started demanding how i make it , its good to see the time you spend and the patience you have in this art of the pleasing the palate and the mind 🍷🍷🥝🍇🍍🍓🍑🍉🍈

I am very new to wine making. My father and mother have made home made wine for years, mostly dad. He passed away and left some on the 4th racking. He had batch of cherry and 2 batches of strawberry. We sanitized everything and bottled the cherry with my mothers help. Sadly like i said i am very new to it and mom didnt assist dad too much (we bottled it just so it would be sealed) The problem i seemed to have is it was too sweet for me, almost to the point of cough syrup to my taste buds. I like semi sweet at best. We added no suger. Is there a way to make it a little drier (even if we have to uncork it) and rebottle. On another note , some of the best wine he made was strawberry banana.
