Strawberry Wine Recipe

[Missycop]

Hello, aspiring winemakers! Want to make your own strawberry wine at home? This simple recipe will guide you through creating a delicious and refreshing wine that's perfect for any occasion. Let’s turn those strawberries into a delightful drink!

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds fresh strawberries
• 2 pounds granulated sugar
• 1 gallon water
• 1 teaspoon acid blend
• 1 teaspoon pectic enzyme
• 1 Campden tablet (crushed)
• 1/4 teaspoon wine tannin
• 1 teaspoon yeast nutrient
• 1 packet wine yeast (such as Montrachet)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Strawberries:
   • Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into smaller pieces.
   • Place the strawberries in a large bowl and mash them lightly.
2. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a large pot, bring the water to a boil and then remove from heat.
   • Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Let the sugar water cool to room temperature.
3. Combine in Primary Fermenter:
   • Pour the mashed strawberries into a primary fermenter (a large, sanitized bucket).
   • Add the sugar water to the fermenter.
   • Stir in the acid blend, pectic enzyme, crushed Campden tablet, and wine tannin.
4. Initial Fermentation:
   • Cover the fermenter with a clean cloth and let it sit for 24 hours.
5. Add Yeast:
   • After 24 hours, sprinkle the yeast nutrient and wine yeast on top of the mixture.
   • Stir gently to combine.
6. Ferment:
   • Cover the fermenter again and let it sit in a warm, dark place for about 7 days.
   • Stir the mixture daily.
7. Strain and Transfer:
   • After 7 days, strain the liquid into a sanitized glass carboy or demijohn, leaving the strawberry pulp behind.
   • Attach an airlock to the carboy.
8. Secondary Fermentation:
   • Let the wine ferment for about 4-6 weeks, or until fermentation has stopped (no bubbles in the airlock).
9. Rack and Age:
   • Carefully siphon the wine into another sanitized carboy, leaving any sediment behind.
   • Let the wine age for at least 3 months in a cool, dark place. The longer, the better!
10. Bottle:
    • Once aged, siphon the wine into sanitized bottles and seal with corks.

And there you have it! Your very own homemade strawberry wine. Pour yourself a glass and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Cheers to delicious homemade wine!
