Making wine at home is easy. You'll produce a quality product at a very low cost and have fun doing it.
We'll show you just how easy it is to make high quality wines at home, from winemaking kits.
The equipment needed is inexpensive and so are the wine kits themselves. It doesn't take much time either.
Recently we started 3 6 gallon batches of wine, all in one night. Total time expended was less than 90 minutes. In 7 days we'll spend another 90 minutes.
Three weeks or so later we'll take another 2 hours and end with about 90 bottles of high quality wine at a total cost of about $1.80 per bottle.
These are high quality wines. Wines of this quality are selling for anywhere from $15.00 to $50.00 per bottle in most stores.
Primary fermentation is complete. We've taken the primary fermentation buckets out from under the stairs and racked it into carboys. That process is shown in video below.
Back under the stairs. We've transfered the wine from the primary fermentation bucket as shown in the video above this one.
Now they'll stay there for 5 to 7 more days as shown in the video below. The wine racks are from Costco and hold 96 bottles each. We needed them after bottling up the batches we made for Christmas gifts.
Time to stabilize the wine. We bring the carboy back out to the kitchen where we'll add the ingredients to stop any fermentation that is ongoing. These additions will also increase the shelf life of the wine.
We'll also add an ingredient that will aid in clarifying the wine.
More to come. The remaining steps will be shown as we complete the process. It won't be long now
