Let's Make Fruit Wine Part 2

Welcome Back!! If you are just joining us you may want to head back to Part 1 of our series on making fruit wine!

Now, onto Part 2 of Let's Make Fruit Wine!

After about a week, remove the mesh bag with your pineapple mix and let it drain into your bucket.  I don't squeeze my bag because I don't want the extra sediment in my juice.  Check your PA to make sure it is below 3 to 4 percent, if not then let it continue for another week. 

When it is ready, rack your juice into a 1 gallon glass container, add your bung and airlock.  Remember to clean and sterilize all your equipment before you use it.  You should rack your wine about 3 times in six months.  Let it go until it ferments out and is clear. 

I'll let you know when I taste test it, if I am going to sweeten it or not before bottling.  Once bottled you should let it set for 6 to 12 months.  I plan on opening my first bottle in early spring!  What a great way to welcome in the new season!

Have fun!
