Ingredients
- Redcurrant - 5 kg
- Water - 5 L
- Sugar - 2 kg
Step cooking
- Peel 5 kg of red currant from twigs, leaves and spoiled berries.
- Take a 10-liter enameled pan, pour 5 liters of water into it and boil it. Add 1 kg of sugar to the water, mix everything and remove the resulting syrup from the heat.
- Mash currants with a blender or crush until smooth.
- Pour mashed currants into syrup in a deep saucepan.
- Cover the resulting composition with gauze and let it ferment for 3-4 days at a temperature of 18-23 degrees. Stir the composition 1-2 times a day so that caps from the pulp do not form.
- At the end of the period, separate the must from the pulp. Pass the composition through cheesecloth.
- Pour the drained wine into the washed and dried bottle. Close the neck of the bottle with a punctured rubber glove. In this form, the wine should ferment from 25 to 45 days.
- On day 5, add another 500 g of sugar to the bottle to enhance fermentation. To do this, pour 2 liters of wine into a small container and dilute the sugar in it. Then return the composition back to the general container and cover with a glove. The same must be done on day 10.
- At the end of the fermentation stage, remove the wine from the sediment through a tube. You can add sugar to taste in the drained wine. Leaked wine leave for 50-60 days to ripen in the stage of quiet fermentation. It is better to move the beverage container to the cellar with a temperature of 10-16 degrees. Every 20 days, try to check for sediment, and if it is, be sure to remove it.
- Pour the finished wine without residue into bottles and cork it.
