The following article has described how to make a cranberry wine.
Preparing wine from concentrates can give you an easy and the most consistent way to make remarkable cranberry wines with enhanced flavor.
In a very simple way you can prepare the wine from the concentrates. The most important thing one sould keep in mind while making wine at home is the usuage of correct equipments.
The major ingredients needed to prepare the cranberry wine are as under:
1 gallon glass jug, 12 ounce cans of frozen cranberry juice concentrate, 1 1/2cups sugar, 1/4tsp wine yeast, 3/4cup warm water along with container of water.
There are few equipments you will require such as:
A rubber stopper or air lock device for the gallon jug, 12-18 inches of plastic tubing which will fit over the glass tube along with 1 funnel.
Make sure to clean the jugs along with other utensils to get rid of bacteria before you start the procedure of wine making. Otherwise the wine will be spoiled very soon as there would be chances of having bacteria in the wine.
Now let’s start the wine making process. Dissolve 1tbsp of sugar along with yeast in 3/4 cup of lukewarm water. Stir the water till the sugar is dissolved. You can cover the container and keep aside for few hours for fermentation.
Pour juice with sugar dissolved in it into a jug. You can use the funnel for pouring the juice. Add warm water and yeast mixture. Place the stopper on the top of the jug. Attach the plastic tubing over end of glass tube. Place the jug on a warm shelf in basement. Put the container of water next to jug and keep end of plastic tube in water. The level of water should be sufficient to keep end of tube under water. The tube will allow carbon dioxide gas to escape whereas the water will prevent air contaminated with bacteria from entering the jug with wine.
After some days, say around one month, you can notice that the air bubbles are not entering the container of water from the wine jug and the juice has become clear. You will also find the sediments at the bottom of the jug. At this time, you can get a two foot lenght of 1/2 to 3/4 inch clear plastic tubing, take out the stopper and siphon juice into another cleaned jug. Do not touch the sediments as they will be poured down the drain while the jug along with wine should be capped with a screw-on cap or cork stopper. You can store the wine in cool and dry place for 12 months or so. When the wine ages, you can serve it chilled.
With this process, you will get a tart kind of wine with a nice flavor of cranberry. In place of cranberry, any other fruits like apples, strawberries or blackberries can be used.
Making wine at home is a perfect pastime which brings its own rewards.
