Preparation materials: grapes, rock sugar (the ratio of grapes to rock sugar is 3: 1), glass jar (washed and dried for later use).
1, picking grapes
If you want to make delicious wine, you must choose the right raw materials. Friends had better choose fresh grapes that have just come into the market in summer, and don't buy grapes that are out of season, otherwise the taste will be very poor. Generally speaking, it is most suitable to choose purple ripe grapes. Common Kyoho grapes, raisins and mare's milk can be used.
Step 2 wash grapes
The second step is to clean the grapes, which is also particularly important in the wine making method. Because the grape skin will remain harmful substances such as pesticides, it should be soaked in light salt water for about 10 minutes, and then rinsed with running water.
Step 3 dry the grapes
Put the grapes into a leaky container and let them dry naturally, so as to prevent the water from the grape skin from being brought into the wine and affecting the taste of the wine.
4. Select a container
Generally, a transparent wide-mouth glass jar can be used to observe its fermentation well. Never use plastic containers, because plastic containers are likely to react with the ingredients in alcohol and release substances that are not conducive to human health.
5. Put it in a container
After the grapes are naturally dried, wash your hands and put on gloves, then crush the grapes one by one in a clean container (be careful not to use iron, especially rusty), then put the grapes in a glass jar layer by layer, etc., and then seal and ferment. You can put a black plastic bag outside the glass jar, and the color of the wine will look better in the future.
6. Fermentation for half a month
The temperature is high in summer, so the fermentation time is short, about a week. If you want a stronger taste, you can also choose to ferment for about ten days. In autumn when the temperature is low, it takes about half a month to ferment.
Step 7 filter and drink
After fermentation, it can be filtered out for drinking. Pay attention to separate grape seeds, grape skins and fermented grape pulp, generally use filters, and pay attention to disinfection before use to avoid bringing bacteria into wine.
You can drink it directly after filtering! (After the first filtration, there may still be a small amount of residue that has not been filtered out, so you can let it settle for a few days before filtering).
8. Bottle and store
Grapes brewed at one time are certainly inexhaustible, so the extra wine should be bottled and preserved, sealed in bottles, and then placed in a cool and dry place, which can be taken at any time when drinking.
