How long does it take for wine to ferment?

Wine is usually purchased ready-made from outside, but it is relatively expensive. In the summer, if you buy a large amount of grapes and cannot finish them, you also like to make wine at home. However, when making wine at home, in order to prevent failure, you must pay attention to the method used when making wine, which is generally the fermentation time of the wine, as well as the wine making process.

Homemade wine recipe and production method

1. Remove the branches of the ripe grapes, wash them and drain them. Remove branches, wash and drain.

2. Crush the dried grapes with a crusher.

3. Add 2% white sugar to the grape juice from the crushed grapes, stir, cover, and place in a warm place at 35-50℃ to ferment.

4. After two days, the grape skin has turned brown and floats on the surface. At this time, open the lid and smell it. If there is a strong aroma of wine, you can filter out the dregs with gauze, and then add 10% white wine and 10% white sugar, stir and ferment. At this time, the wine pot should be placed in a cool place.

5. After one month, the wine matures and turns orange or rose in color. The wine is rich and mellow with a slightly sour taste. At this time, filter it once (using multiple layers of gauze) before putting it into the bottle for later use.

Notice:

1) Use glass bottles for the first fermentation period (2-3 days)

2) During the second fermentation period, use a small plastic bottle (do not open the bottle cap at any time)

Wine method:

A large glass bottle

Can hold 10 kilograms of water.

5 jin of grapes, {wash, dry in the shade, then crush and put into a glass bottle,}

5 pounds of grapes to 1 pound of rock sugar (5:1), preferably white rock sugar, then cover with a glass lid and seal it tightly.

(Buy glass bottles with frosted caps, which are more durable and have better sealing).

It can be drunk after opening for 2 weeks or 15 days. It has a strong fruity aroma, low alcohol content, is clean, hygienic and healthy, and is no worse than the red grape juice imported from Spain.

It should be noted here that it is best to choose larger grapes with more water, so that the alcohol content of fermentation will be lower; if the wine is not finished after 1 month, filter it once and pour out the dregs, otherwise the alcohol content will get higher and higher; and the wine is best consumed within 3 months, as it will easily go bad in hot weather, but it is fine to keep it for 5 or 6 months in cold weather, but the opening time should be relatively extended (about 1 month), because the fermentation time is related to temperature.
