Basics of Wine Making Recipe

So before we delve into wine making recipe, let me give you the list of equipment you will use first.

1. Polyvinyl Tube
2. ½ Gallon Winchester Bottles
3. Boiler (make sure it’s made of aluminum or enamel).
4. Wine Bottles with Corks
5. Glass Tubing
6. One Gallon Glass Jars with Corks
7. Hydrometer
8. Small Press
9. Plastic Dustbin or any large plastic vessel.

Other Materials you will need:

1. Bottle-Cleaning Brush
2. Colander
3. Casks
4. Cork Borer
5. Jelly Bags for straining
6. Corking device
7. Large Polythene Funnel
8. Scales
9. Measuring Jugs
10. Small Funnels
11. Thermometer
12. Stone Jars
13. Wooden Spoon
14. Tie-on labels for jars and stick-on labels for bottles

In case you don’t have some of these materials with you, you can then buy new ones at your local wine store or grocery shop.

Having a complete list of equipment, you can now proceed to checking if you also have the complete list of ingredients for your wine making recipe. Please note that below are just the basic ingredients. As you go along with your wine making adventure, you will eventually find out other stuff that you can add to your wine making recipe and from there, make wines that are more special and exquisite.

Wine Yeast

This is one of the most crucial elements in your wine making recipe from which fermentation will take place. Without the yeast, no fermentation can take place therefore no wine can be produced. There are many brands of wine yeasts. It’s up to you which kind you would want to buy. It is best to ask your local wine shop or supermarket and from there compare their suggestions.

The moment you have this ingredient with you, you must do as the wine making recipe tells you. There is always an ideal condition which you must follow when it comes to fermentation. Not to worry about it because these things are just very easy to accomplish as long as you stick to the wine instructions to the letter.

Sugar

Sugar is the partner in crime of the yeast because this is the food of the yeast. When the yeast feeds on the sugar, it produces two things: carbon dioxide and ethanol. This is where the wine actually comes from.  Without the sugar, the feast won’t have anything to feed on and consequently, alcohol won’t be produced.

Please note that like yeast, a favorable fermentation condition with the sugar must also be reached by following the correct amount of sugar levels for your mixture. As a wine maker, albeit your first time, it is crucial that you follow these amounts in your wine making recipe. This will assist you in reaching the kind of fermentation that you need for your wine.

Acid

Just like with your yeast and sugar, proper acid levels must also be followed for your wine mixture. Correct acidity will help produce great tasting wine while wrong ones might just produce very bitter tasting wines or ultra sweet tasting wines.

Tannin

The tannic levels in your wine come from the tannins. It is that ingredient which contributes to the dry taste of your wine. If there are too much tannins, your wine can be very uncharacteristic in its flavor. But with the right amount, the quality of your wine can be at part with those sold in the markets.

Once you have all these things for your wine making recipe, then you are set to make your own homemade wine.
