The Purpose Of Every Stage In Winemaking
I struggled with timing initially when making wine, when to remove fruit, when to go from primary to secondary, and finally when to bottle my wine. I go through and try my best to simplify it.

    Our new house has exactly this combination. Apples and plums. While the apple tree didn't fare too well this year due to the high moisture in my region, the plum tree yielded an ungodly amount. I'm going to give this recipe a try! Very brand new to wine making (skipping your recommendation of starting with kits as something gotta be done with all these plums asap) so few silly beginner questions - why was agitating day 3 bad exactly? It delayed yeast growth? - most importantly, any follow up at this time? Anything you would have changed from the recipe if you'd do it again?

      Only start to stir when the bubbles start to happen. Seems like that effects the start. I really like using the yeast starter. The wine seems to get a another mouth feel. The rest I won't change anything. This wine is really delicious. Just be sure to let it age 10 months or more. That's when it really turns a corner.

    David, great video! I'm about to start getting into the wine-making hobby and would really appreciate it if you could share a spreadsheet or timeline outlining all the steps involved. I have a couple of questions. First, I'm a bit confused about racking. Is it primarily done to help clear the wine? Wouldn't it be easier to just add bentonite during the second fermentation and only do one racking? Also, you mentioned letting the wine mature for about three months. Is it possible to bottle the wine (adding sugar, potassium sorbate, and Campden tablet) and let it mature in the bottles instead?

    • @QualityHomeWinemaking
      @QualityHomeWinemaking 3 місяці тому

      Unfortunately wine doesn't work on a timeline and recipes change how things happen which is kind of why I kept this video general. Follow a good recipe, there's a video on the channel about where to get good ones, or do a kit for the first batch and follow the instructions. As you see it all happen it makes sense quickly how it works. As far as letting the wine mature, where you want to leave it is up to you, the carboy or bottles works as long as there isn't much empty space in the container.

      Very few people notice, or only a few say something. You know what's funny about it, about once a year the green one will turn blue for a day, I have no idea what does it, but when you happen to travel on that day and the customs guy notices it.... it's very inconvenient.

    Hey bro thank you for this. I too rushed the racking now I have tons of sediments to the bottom. I'll take your advice and leave it for the 3 months.

    The bentonite you need to leave 6-8 hours after you mix. It will be jelly and do the work.

    Thanks for the video. As always it was very informative. Do you find the wine making kits to be better and cost effective for the home enthusiast than using store bought juice or fruit from the supermarket? I have always used the later in 2 gallon batches. Im drinking a pineapple wine that was made from Dole juice. It turned out really good after a 90 day age period. Since Im making such small batches it doesnt last long enough to try and bottle it. Im thinking of moving up to a 6 gallon fermenter. Wish you the best in whats coming.

      I'm glad your pineapple wine turned out that sounds great. The kit in the video makes about 30 bottles of 750ml wine. Around here with the price at grocery stores I think fresh fruit is the cheapest if you grow it yourself. Most kits here are 75 bucks and have everything you need, I doubt I can buy the supplies for that.

It says more than we think :) Thank you for that http link. I will surely try it on myself and plants in my big garden - I have already bought 25kg of so called "bentonit flour".

    Dont know if its been said before, But if your bentonite clay is not clearing the brew, then you can try a fining agent with the opposite charge. Bentonite is Negatively charged, and will only attract/clear positive charged particles. Try Sparkaloid or similarly Positive charged fining agent, it can clear out the negatively charged particles.

      I am a woman, never use the chemicals this man is recommending. I use the juice from grapes add sugar to bring it to the alcohol required add I pack of yeast to a 18 litter carboy let it ferment, after that I rack it and after 6 months my wine is completely clarified. Rack again and leave until 9 months. Bottle and drink. Lovely wine,
