Hi all! Today we are preparing homemade blackcurrant wine. The recipe is proven and the easiest. Such wine can be made from any berry, but the proportions of water and sugar for each type of berry are different. The wine is natural and tasty.
Black currant 1 kg
Water 1.8 l
Sugar 850 g (added fractionally in 4 stages: 580 g - 90 g - 90 g - 90 g)
• We collect berries from a bush, it is permissible to get twigs, but without leaves. You can't wash the berries! Rinse the natural yeast from the skin and the wine won't ferment.
• In case the berries are soiled in the ground, they will have to be washed or the wine does not want to ferment, prepare the starter in advance:
Unwashed raisins 1 handful
Warm water 2 cups
Sugar 40-50 g
• We leave the leaven in a warm place for 1 week.
The first day.
• Berries (in the video 10 kg) grind with a blender / meat grinder. Pour into a barrel.
• In water (18 l) we dilute sugar (5.8 kg). • Add sweet water to crushed berries. We cover the barrel with gauze and leave to ferment. The contents of the barrel must be stirred 2 times a day to avoid mold.
•Temperature for fermentation 23-25°. We just leave the barrel outside (July), everything fermented beautifully. You can wrap up at night if it's cool.
Day four.
• Foam should appear in the barrel, a clear sign of fermentation.
• Separate the juice from the cake.
• Cake is thrown away.
• Add 900 g of sugar to the juice, stir.
•Pour the juice into a bottle.
•Close with a glove.

• We put on a glove.
Day ten.
• Pour some of the juice out of the bottle, add 900 g of sugar, stir, pour into a bottle.
• We put on a glove. The glove must be pierced with a needle.
• All this time the wine should boil, and the glove should inflate.
Day thirty.
• Remove the wine from the sediment.
• You will see sediment in the bottle. Using a tube, drain the pure wine, discard the sediment. My bottle.
•Now try the wine! If it's too sour for you, add sugar to taste. There is active fermentation, the glove is inflated.
• When the glove falls, it will be too late to add sugar, sugar will not be processed and compote will turn out.
• Pour the clean wine back into the bottle.
• We put a glove.
• In this form, we remove the wine in the cellar for 2 months.
• Every 20 days we remove the wine from the sediment with a tube.
• When active fermentation is over and the glove has completely fallen off, the wine can be bottled and corked.
• Store the bottles in the cellar in a lying position so that the cork is washed with wine and does not dry out.
