Homemade wine from fresh cranberries: recipe

Cowberry - a berry with a rich taste and itIdeal for wine making and filling. If the wine is harvested correctly, it will have a bright red hue and a sweet-sour, tart taste. Cranberry wine is very different from crimson or grape with original notes. Serve this alcoholic beverage best to dessert or slicing of meat, cheese.

IMPORTANT: In any case, a semi-sweet or sweet wine should be made from cowberry. The fact is that if you do not add sugar - the must does not ferment. An important stage in the preparation of berries is their selection.

Only ripe and large berries suitable for wine, small and unripe, as well as mint should be discarded immediately. The presence of rotten berries can not only spoil the taste, but also contribute to the formation of mold on the surface of the container with a fermenting liquid. Another important thing - thoroughly washed dishes( a bottle or jars), pre-processed with boiling water and necessarily dry wiped.

You will need for 2 liters of water :

• Cranberries ( fresh berries) - 2 kg.(selected0
• Sugar - 800-900 g.( sugar is divided into three portions, which are added to different stages, one part of sugar can be replaced with honey in the same amount.)

• Blend cranberry berries in puree with a blender and pour into a fermentation tank
• Add sugar to the cowberry and fill with 2 liters of water, mix thoroughly with a long wooden spoon( iron is not advisable, soAs the metal can oxidize and spoil the process of wine making.)

It is important to mix the contents of the container twice or thrice a day. So you can knock off the foam on the surface - foam is a good sign, it means that the wine is good.
• After a few days, the mass should be filtered, threw back the pulp, add a third of the sugar( from the recipe).If the wine has become much less after percolation, you can pour a little water( only purified).
• Now you need to install a gas outlet( which one you are more familiar with: a glove or a tube, dipping into a glass with water).So the capacity is still 4 to 5 days.
• After a few days, add sugar again( or honey).Do this right: drain some of the wine and in it dissolve the sugar, then pour it back. Install the gas outlet.
• Fermentation should last on average - 3 weeks( from 2 to 4, depending on the amount of sugar and liquid).Determine the readiness of the wine can be by the gas outlet: the glove is blown off, and if there is a tube - the bubbles cease to appear).

IMPORTANT: Ready-made wine can safely be stored in a cool place for up to 2 years. Strengthen its sweetness, you can, dissolving in it an extra portion of sugar or honey, and make stronger - a small amount of alcohol or vodka.
