Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 105 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make wine from apple juice at home? Take sugar and apples to make wine.

2. STEP 2

   

   Choose apples of any variety and any color.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash all apples thoroughly with cold water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the apples into pieces large enough to fit into the opening of your juicer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Squeeze the juice from the apples. From 20 kg, on average, 15 liters of juice are obtained, depending on the variety and juiciness of the apples.

6. STEP 6

   

   Strain the apple juice through several layers of gauze.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the juice into large bottles, filling them three-quarters full.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add sugar to the juice at the rate of 200 grams per 1 liter. Stir the juice thoroughly until the sugar dissolves.

9. STEP 9

   

   Install water seals on the bottles. Add water as it evaporates. The fermentation process will last 1-1.5 months. Place the bottles in a dark place at room temperature.

10. STEP 10

    

    The wine has become almost transparent, but not yet light, there are no visible bubbles, which means the fermentation process has almost come to an end. Drain the liquid into jars using a tube, leaving sediment at the bottom, strain through several layers of gauze. The sediment itself can also be filtered through a thick layer of gauze.

11. STEP 11

    

    Close the jars tightly with lids. You can understand that the fermentation process has completely stopped by the fact that the wine has become completely transparent, amber in color, and bubbles are no longer released. Strain the wine again through layers of cheesecloth, leaving the sediment at the bottom.

12. STEP 12

    

    Young apple wine can already be drunk, but it is better to let it ripen for another 1-1.5 months, closing it with a lid. Store apple wine in a cool place, always dark, so that it does not lose its beautiful color. This wine can be stored for quite a long time, but not more than 2 years. Cook with pleasure!

I made wine from apple juice at home using this recipe. A very simple and easy way to prepare. The only thing is that you have to wait a long time) There were a large number of apples and something had to be done. I picked the apples, squeezed out the apple juice and set them to ferment with sugar in large containers. I installed a water seal and added water. After fermentation, I strained, the sediment remained at the bottom. I still left the young apple wine in the jars for the time specified in the recipe, tightly closing the lids. I got 20 liters of apple wine from 30-35 kg of apples. 3 months have passed and here it is - the moment of truth! We tried it) Awesome homemade apple wine with minimal effort. The color is very beautiful, amber. The taste is very rich. The aroma is amazing, apple. The wine was not very strong and not very sweet. Great recipe! Many thanks to the author!!!
