Can wine be made at home? Attached wine-making methods and matters needing attention

Wine is a kind of fruit wine made from grapes, which can not only help sleep, but also beauty and beauty. It is one of the favorites of many friends. So can you make wine at home? What tools do you need to prepare to make wine? What are the methods of making wine? Just let me answer for you!

One: the tools needed to make wine:

1. The main starter. It is recommended to use glass cans, glass altars, glass bottles, ceramic altars, stainless steel bottles or plastic bottles and plastic cans that can withstand alcohol and are harmless to people, regardless of size.

2. The container of secondary fermentation and the container of wine. You can use empty wine bottles, beverage bottles, mineral water bottles and so on.

3. a thin plastic pipe. It is used to pour the wine out of the fermentation container by siphon after fermentation.

4. Sticks or chopsticks. Used to stir grape skins and grape juice during fermentation.

5. Silk stockings or fine gauze. Used to filter wine juice.

2. Materials for making wine:

Very simple, the main ingredients are ripe, dark grapes, amateur conditions such as Jufeng, rose fragrance and so on. The excipients are rock sugar or white sugar. The weight ratio of grapes to sugar used for fermentation is 10:1.

Third, the steps required for making wine:

1. Broken. After rinsing the ripe red grapes with clean water, remove the fruit stalks, green grains, mildew grains, broken grains, etc., put them into disinfection containers (small vats), crush or mash them with hands, but before operation, wash the hands, sticks and containers with potassium permanganate, rinse again with clean water, and then operate again to prevent contamination by miscellaneous bacteria. At the same time, be careful not to use iron, copper and other metal tools and containers (or disinfect the grapes with a clean aluminum spoon in the cup).

2. Fermentation. Fermentation is to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide from the sugar in grape peel juice through the action of yeast. the pre-fermentation process of red wine is mixed with peel juice, and yeast has been incorporated into the juice when the grape is broken, because there is yeast in the white frost on the grape skin. so self-made wine can not be fermented without adding yeast.

The best fermentation temperature is 15: 25 ℃, which should not exceed 35 ℃, but it is easy to dissipate heat when fermented in a small container, which can reach no more than 32 ℃.

When the leather juice is put into a container, it usually begins to ferment after a day. At the beginning of the liquid level is calm, when a weak carbon dioxide bubble has been produced, indicating that the yeast has begun to multiply. After 2 or 3 days, a large amount of carbon dioxide is released, the dregs float into a cap, taste fruit juice, the sweetness decreases gradually, and the wine taste increases gradually.

During fermentation, the floating grape skin should be pressed into the juice twice a day with disinfection chopsticks, on the one hand, to prevent the grape skin from becoming moldy and sour, at the same time, the pigment on the skin can be dipped into the juice, and CO2 can be discharged to make the yeast get oxygen and ferment more vigorously.

After the best part, the fermentation momentum begins to weaken, at this time, sugar can be added, which is dissolved with grape wine, rather than hydrated sugar, and then added. After the white sugar is completely dissolved, it continues to ferment in the container. Finally, carbon dioxide is released to a weak and near calm, the alcohol flavor is very strong, the sugar content is reduced to less than 1%, and the juice begins to clear, that is, the end of fermentation, pressing, and separating the skin juice.

3. Squeeze. The method of pressing is to squeeze or twist with a clean cloth bag or gauze, and the red wine liquid flows out, which is called Yuanjiu.

4. Add egg white to clarify. About 30ml grape wine with egg white. The method is to beat the egg white into a foam, stir and mix fully with a small amount of wine, then add to the wine, then stir and rest until the wine is clear and transparent, and discard the sediment.

5. Add sugar to the wine. Most people's habit is that wine should be sweet, therefore, the grapes need to be mixed with sugar, the amount of sugar is about 1214%, and the sugar should be dissolved by mixing with the original wine.

IV. Points for attention:

1, all kinds of containers must be washed clean, grapes in the brewing process can not touch oil, iron, copper, tin, etc., but can contact clean unembroidered steel products.

2. During fermentation, the lid of the starter must not be covered to prevent explosion.

3. Don't put too much sugar, which will affect the fermentation process and produce ingredients we don't want. If you want to drink sweet wine, you can add sugar when you drink it after fermentation.

4. Although the wine is delicious, pay attention to temperance.
