Mix well making sure all granular ingredients are dissolved (especially on the bottom). # Dissolve wine yeast into about 1 cup of the above misture, then add to 5 gallon container. Mix container well. # Mix container once a day to keep yeast from settling. # After 3 or 4 days and if there are no bubbles or gas (evidence of fermentation), warm container to about 75F until surface bubbles are present. Continue mixing conatiner once a day. Remove from warm place after fermentation starts. # Fermentation is complete when gassing off has subsided and there is a sediment formed in the bottom of the container. After 20-30 days, as a rule, fermentation at 80F is shorter than at 60F. Specific gravity 1.000 or less. # Allow wine to settle out one to two weeks after fermentation is complete. No further mixing. # Rack - syphon off top clear wine (be careful not todisturb the heavy sediment at the bottom) into another clean 5 gallon container. Discard the heavy sediment. # Add 1 or 1 1/2 campden tablets per gallon of wine. One tablet equals 50 ppm of sulfur dioxide per gallon, or add approx. 1/2 teaspoon metabisulfite per 5 gallons. \\FINING OPTION (CLARIFICATION OF WINE)%%%Use one method below: - Wine will naturally settle out on its own in 3 months (most of the time). If not, further fining is required. - Sparkaloid - heat 1/4 to 1/8 ounce in whater (1/2 cup) for 15 minutes at about 180F. Then add to wine and mix container. - Use 1 tsp. granular gelatin mix into 1/4 cups boiling water mix into 5 gal. wine. Add 3 tsp. of Nalco Colloidal Silica fining agent #1072 into wine and gently stir. |
