If you want to learn how to make homemade wine, there is no reason for not doing it. You don’t need a license, a cellar, and the utensils you need are probably in your home to begin with. It doesn’t take a lot of work either to learn How to Make Homemade Wine.
The first issue you need to learn is the do’s and don’ts of winemaking.
Do
- Rack at least once, and twice if possible.
- Use new corks and boil the old ones.
- Keep your first ferment covered.
- Keep the secondary fermentation air-free.
- Keep your equipment clean.
- Keep all bottles filled.
- Add sugar by stages and keep records with high level of detail.
- Keep red wines in dark bottles so they don’t lose their color.
- Use trustworthy yeast nutrient frequently.
- Make wines too dry rather than too sweet: add sugar later.
- Use fermentation traps.
- Taste the wine at intervals to make sure the process is going well.
Don’t

- Let vinegar flies come in contact with your wine.
- Use metal containers.
- Use tools or containers made out of resinous wood.
- Forget to stir a must twice a day.
- Use too much sugar.
- Try to speed up fermentation by increasing the temperature.
- Be impatient.
- Let dead yeast or sediment anywhere close to your wine.
- Filter for no reasonor too soon.
- Store your wine in unsterilized jars or bottles.
- Bottle your wine before it’s done fermenting.
- Employ screw-stopper bottles.
Now that you have a good sense of what you should do and what you shouldn’t, I will share with you one of my favorite wine recipes and in no time you can learn How to Make Homemade Wine.
Either black, green or amber grapes can be used for this recipe and the resulting wine will suit almost every taste.
2 bags (4 lb.) of grapes – 2 bags (3½ lb.) of sugar – 1 oz. yeast
1 gallon water.
Separate the grapes from the stalks and then crush them by hand. Pour the boiling water over them and leave to soak for forty-eight hours. Strain and put the juice through a jelly-bag. Allow to drain and then pour into the fermenting vessel and add the sugar.
Mix until the sugar is dissolved -this will take a lot of time with cold grape-juice. When all the sugar is mixed well sprinkle the yeast on top and stir in. Seal, and ferment for fourteen days; after which proceed with bottling. It’s so much bliss to learn How to Make Homemade Wine.
