Brew Simple Wild Berry Wine
People have been practicing fermentation for thousands of years, without a lot of technology. You can do it, too.
Steps
- Gather about a cup of wild berries. Do not wash them.
- Blend/crush them to a pulp.
- Put in a quart jar.
- Fill the jar with water.
- Stir often, at least 3 times a day.
- Keep a cloth or something loosely over the mouth of the container, to keep out flies.
- Wait a few days, and it should start to bubble sometime within that time frame.
- After about 2 weeks the bubbling will slow down.
- Enjoy your cheap, young wine.
Tips
- Do not use just any wild berries; make sure to do research and make sure they're edible!
- If you want vinegar, let it sit for another couple weeks.
- If you want to age the wine, put it under something that will keep out oxygen, such as a brewer's airlock or a balloon or a condom (non-lubricated). Just be sure to let out the pressure daily!
Warnings
- Take care to ensure and maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout this process.
