Wine Supplies
I am looking for detailed directions on how to make raspberry wine. I would appreciate an experts advice.?
I have some supplies but I do not think they are sufficient.
Ingredients:
Fruit Puree – (2) cans
Pecitic Enzyme 1 tsp.
Yeast Nutrient 2 tsp.
Acid Blend 1 tsp.
Tannin 1/2 tsp.
Campden Tablets
Stablizer
Yeast Lalvin 1122
Clearing Agent.
Water
Recipe
To make a fruit wine comparable to using a 96 oz. can of wine base, use two cans of Oregon Fruit Puree Products per five gallons and enough sugar to bring the gravity to 1.090 or higher. Add natural fruit flavoring enhancers to bring out flavor and give more aroma.
Add sugar gradually both initially and for sweetening. Add 1/2 the initial sugar and take a gravity reading or taste if you are sweetening a finished wine before adding the rest. This will insure that your wine doesn’t come out too strong. Fermentation will stop automatically, but wine must be stabilized with potassium sorbate if sugar is added after fermentation for sweetening. This will prevent renewed fermentation.
Yeast Lalvin 71-1122
Use an open plastic bucket for a fermenter. For one gallon batches it is best to use a two gallon bucket and for five gallon batches, use a seven gallon bucket. Sterilize your fermenter. Add the fruit puree and enough water to equal one gallon total volume. Take a gravity reading. The must should be between 1.090 and 1.100. If it is lower, add enough sugar to bring the gravity up. Approximately 4 oz. of sugar will raise the gravity 10 points in one gallon of water. Add Lalvin 71B-1122 to the must. Cover the Fermentor.
Stir must every day for 5 to 7 days (until the gravity is about 1.030). Rack into a sterilized glass carboy (depending on volume made). Attach an airlock and ferment for 2 to 4 weeks or until fermentation is complete. The gravity reading should be 1.000 or lower. Rack wine off the sediment into another sterilized gallon jug or glass carboy. Add a fining agent according to directions and let set for 4 weeks. The wine can be bottled when it is clear and stable.

Sons of Soul $2.53 Sons of Soul is the third album from Tony! Toni! Tone! and one of 1993’s best efforts from any quarter. The Oakland trio (which contains no one named Toni) drew its inspiration for this project from such childhood heroes as Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, and Sly Stone, but they have transformed those materials with up-to-date hip-hop and Caribbean flavors. Much more important than the influences, o… |

Vh1 Presents the Corrs Live in Dublin $7.98 It’s fitting that video channel VH1 is partnered with the obscenely attractive sibs of the Corrs for this live recording, captured in Dublin, near the band’s hometown in Ireland. Given the stiff competition in the pop arena and the Corrs’ rather limited touring, looks have doubtless played a part in their global ascent, although, judging by Live in Dublin, they’ve earned some props along the way. … |
