Day 4 18/1/13 DIY Fermentation

Wine making

We made two wines with two different recipes. The first recipe is from the hackeria website - Project 16: DIY Fermentation or the Art of making Wine. The process : • Mash 1kg of white grapes, sugar and 6l water • Heat the mash • Mash the mass again and let cool down below 40 degrees Celsius • add 10g yeast mixed in lukewarm water • Pour the mass and yeast in the fermentor, that's been disinfected before • Insert in the fermentor and seal the top • place the end of the tube in a disinfectant to prevent oxygen, bacteria from entering it • Fermentation process 14-19 days • Filter wine
