Make Wine At Home It's easy and economical to make wine at home. The true vinifera varietals can be made from kits or if you desire, wine can be made from any fruit on hand.
 | Kit Wines
Wine making at home requires only a small investment of your time. A wine kit can be assembled in as little as 30 minutes. A modern wine kit will contain all the necessary ingredients, such as varietal wine juice, wine yeast, antioxidants, stabilizers, finings and complete instructions. By the instructions a batch of wine will take about 28 days to complete fermentation and finishing. After bottling with a winery grade cork the wine will be ready to drink in a very short time. White wines can be consumed after 1 month and reds in 2 months. The wine will continue to age and improve over 2 to 3 years. |
 | Fruit Wines
Fruit Wines, or as they are known, Country Wines can be made from any fruit found growing around your home. By simply purchasing the necessary yeast, yeast nutrients, acid blend, finings and stabilizers, a stable and delicious wine can be made. These necessary ingredients are added to your own crushed fruit and the yeast is allowed to make the wine. The necessary ingredients can be purchased from The Beerslayer for under $15 per 5 gallon batch. The only drawback with using your own fruit is the time involed for the fermentation to complete. A Country Wine usually takes up to 3 months. There is aslo extra work in crushing the fruit and pressing the juice from the fruit after the initial fermenataion has taken place. But it can be very rewarding to make Country Wines at home. |
