1, tools needed for brewing:

It is suggested to use glass tanks, glass tanks, glass bottles, ceramic tanks, stainless steel bottles, etc. in the main fermentor. , regardless of size.

2. Materials:

The main ingredients are ripe, dark grapes, such as Kyoho and rose fragrance under amateur conditions. The auxiliary material is crystal sugar or white sugar. The weight ratio of grape and sugar used for fermentation is 6: 1.

Second, the steps of making French wine are as follows:

1, picking grapes

To make good wine, the raw materials must be very suitable. In summer, it is best to choose fresh grapes that have just been listed, and don't buy grapes that are out of season, otherwise the taste will be poor. Generally speaking, it is most suitable to choose purple ripe grapes.

Step 2 wash grapes

The second step is to clean the grapes, which is also particularly important in wine making. Grapes used in high-grade wine are all natural oranges, so they don't need cleaning. But most of the grapes we buy are oranges planted by farmers themselves, which have been treated with pesticides, so we should soak them in light salt water for half an hour and then rinse them with running water.

Step 3 dry the grapes

Put the grapes in a leaking container and let them dry naturally to prevent the water on the surface of the grapes from being trapped in the wine and affecting the taste of the wine.

4. Select a container

It is suggested that it is best to use ceramic or glass containers for brewing, and never use plastic containers. Plastics are likely to react with the ingredients in alcohol, releasing substances that are not conducive to human health.

5. Put it in a container

After the grapes are naturally dried, wash your hands, put on gloves, crush the grapes by hand, put them in a pot, then put them all in the proportion of 6 kilograms of grapes and 1 kilogram of sugar, and stir. When bottling, be careful not to fill it too full. It's best to leave a third of the space in the bottle.

Step 6 ferment for a week

In summer, if the temperature is high and the fermentation time is short, it will take about a week. If you want a stronger taste, you can also choose to ferment for ten days. In autumn with low temperature, it takes half a month to ferment.

Step 7 filter and drink

After fermentation, it can be filtered out for drinking. Pay attention to smooth grapes and separate grape skins from fermented grape pulp. Filters are generally used. Attention should be paid to eliminating sputum before use to avoid bringing bacteria into wine. It can be drunk directly after filtering.

8. Bottle and store

Put the wine in a bottle, carefully seal it and put it in a cool place.
