Fruit Wine
ingredients
Equipment
- 1 Gallon Container
- 1 Airlock
Ingredients
- 1 Brewsy bag
- Approximately 1 gallon of store-bought cranberry juice without artificial sweeteners (must be space for orange juice)
- Granulated sugar (varies based on sweetness level)
- 2 cups of store-bought or freshly squeezed orange juice (around 6-7 oranges can make two cups of juice)
- (optional) 1 orange for garnish
directions
- If you're not using the container your juice comes in, pour one gallon of cranberry juice into your gallon jug.
- Pull up the sweetness calculator, and decide how sweet you'd like your juice.
- Using the values from the sweetness calculator, pour out some juice (you can save it to backsweeten with later) and add your sugar. Then, shake it all up!
- Open your Brewsy bag and pour the contents in. Seal your juice again and shake well.
- Apply the airlock, then leave your container somewhere dark and warm (75-80°F is best) for 3 days.
- After 3 days, move it to the fridge for 48 hours. You can remove the airlock and set the original cap on top of your drink. Be sure not to tighten the cap!
- After 48+ hours in the fridge, your yeast will have fallen to the bottom of your container.
Now, carefully "rack" your wine by pouring it off of the sediment into a different container. You can discard the sediment at the bottom — you won't want it in your final product. - After you rack for a second time, add two cups of orange juice to wine and mix well.
- Serve with slices of oranges or orange peel twists for extra orange sweetness and brightness :)
If there is leftover wine, return to fridge. Do not store leftover orange garnishes in the wine while it is in the fridge - the peels can alter the flavor of your wine.
As it ages, the taste of your wine will keep on getting better. Cheers!
