It's the only way to ensure that you have a reliably strong and successful fermentation.Īdd an entire Brewsy bag in, and pop on your airlock on top (making sure it's full of water). In this recipe, we use the brewsy bag, which is a combination of an industry-exclusive wine yeast, nutrients for healthy yeast, energizer for a quick and hearty fermentation, potassium bicarbonate (to reduce strong, acidic flavors), malolactic culture (to make your wine smoother) and bentonite (a clarifier for sparkling clear wine).
Next, in order to start the fermentation process, you’ll need a wine yeast. If there isn't, pour out a bit of the juice to avoid overflowing during fermentation. Make sure there's at least 4 inches of space for headroom in your fermentation vessel. If you're fermenting your cherry wine in a glass gallon jug, strain the mash and skins out with a cheesecloth, then add the mixture to your gallon jug. Add the sugar and hot water, and stir well. Once thawed and pitted, place the berries in a large pot or bowl and crush them with a spoon or potato masher. If you are using frozen cherries, you'll want to thaw them before use. This can be done by using a cherry pitter, or by carefully cutting the cherry in half and removing the pit with a knife. The first ingredient you will need is, of course, cherries! If you are using fresh cherries, you will need to pit them before proceeding. An extra gallon jug or bottles: to store your finished product.Cheesecloth: This will be used to strain your cherry juice before fermentation begins.An airlock: allows carbonation to escape while your wine is fermenting, but prevents anything else from getting in.A glass gallon jug or bucket: this is where you'll be fermenting your cherry wine.A cherry pitter: This will make the process of removing the cherry pits much easier and faster.Trader Joe's has excellent tart cherry juice that we love to use. In this recipe, we use fresh cherries, but hint: it'll be just as good with 100% cherry juice, too. If a deep, red wine with the characteristic floral, fruity, and tart flavor of a cherry sounds good to you - you're in luck.Ĭherry wine is hard to find at the store, but making it at home is surprisingly easy and delicious. Cherries make the perfect summer snack, but they also make a fantastic summery fruit wine.
