Рет қаралды 28,834
Күн бұрынStep-by-step procedure to start the process of making 1 gallon of plum wine.
Approximately 12.65 ABV.
Note: I am not a professional winemaker. I hold no responsibility if the results of your winemaking causes injury or ill health. This is as natural (where possible) winemaking channel. The wines made on this channel do not use sulfites. You may use them and\or yeast nutrients and or energizers if that is how you prefer to make your wine\mead.. This channel uses pasteurization.
Ingredients:
3 - 5 pounds (1.36 - 2.27 kg) of plums
4 cups (0.8 kg) of sugar
1 gallon (4 liters) water
1/4 lemon (reduced from 1 lemon)
1 tea bag
1/4 teaspoon (0.79 g) wine yeast
3/4 teaspoon (2.36 g) pectin enzyme
During the first 3 days give your musk a good stir, and to break up the fruit cap that will form if you are not using straining bags. After 5-7 days Rack into secondary, and continue to rack every 4-6 weeks until clear. Degas, back sweeten, bottle let age for at least 12 months total.

With regard to posting more videos, what I wouldn't mind seeing is some videos about sampling the results of the wine you made in earlier videos, when the time comes that they're ready to drink. It would be nice to see what we're shooting for when we make these wines.

I had planned to let the wines age for at least 1 year, but times being what they are these days (Covid-19), I might start doing short testing videos at the 6 month mark. Even that is at least 2 months away. I can say that all the ones that I have bottled and have tasted have a slightly harsh finish.

This is just what I needed. I got a wine-making kit for my birthday recently and I've been dying to make some plum wine. However, the instructions weren't as simple as I'd hoped, so this video filled in the gaps. I may need to get another straining bag, 1g jug and perhaps an acid testing kit before I start, but I already knew this would be a process. Thanks Charles. I look forward to revisiting this video before I get to work.

I found your technique very interesting. I started my fermentation journey making beers, ales, and lagers and so I was intrigued by your mesh bags of fruit style. My plums get picked up from the yard, so they are not even close to being that green. I can literally squeeze the pit out. After I perform a triage to remove any questionable bits from the plums, I run them through a juicer . I get separate juice and pulp and it looks a lot nicer. I can blend the pulp and juice for a more uniform mix or use them separately for different projects. Anyway, I like that you would be able to use so much of the fruit with your technique and the pit would be strained out naturally. Thanks for the great video.

Note that "organic" is a marketing term that does not actually mean "no chemicals". In fact, organic fruit and vegetables can use easily as much or more pesticides than conventional farming. They just use different chemicals, is all. On another note, those are pretty firm plums. That probably makes them a bit easier to de-seed than more ripe ones.

just an FWI for anyone unfamiliar with fermentation. A closed container with yeast and sugar can be dangerous without an air lock. the co2 will need to escape the container or else you could have a big mess on your hands.

Hi Charles, enjoy watching your videos. Tried a few of your wine making and all turned out to be a success, however i tried makin a plum wine using papaya peel instead of pectic enzyme. I am into the 3rd day of fermentation, just tryed to taste it and it had a very bitter taste. What could be the problem ?

I've read that about the papaya peel having a bitter taste. Perhaps using less peel and you should be able to deal with bitterness when you back sweeten your wine.

Not with the wax coating on the fruit, but rather with any pesticides and/or wild yeast and bacteria. that is why the fruit is either boiled or covered with boiling water, or treated with campden tablets.

You create more work for yourself than what you need to do to make good wine. I'm all for the fruit and water you describe. The use of the straining bags is nice. Always boil the ingredients, it will kill the wild yeast if there is any. You don't need any tea or what ever the white powder you added. People have been making wine for 1000 years or so without those ingredients. I would leave the plums, lemon, sugar and water in a stainless steel or ceramic container, covered, for at least 2 days. Then pull the plums, and lemons. Use a siphon to fill your fermentation jug and add some wine yeast to it by following the instructions for the yeast. Put an air lock on the jug. When the bubbles stop, your wine is done. You can siphon off the wine. Take care not to put the siphon close to the bottom of the fermentation jug so you don't get any yeast sediment in the bottle. Bottle your wine and enjoy.
