Raspberry Wine



So this past week I have started my raspberry wine taking the advice of Kev I had frozen my berries first so they would break up easier in the fermentation bucket. But to be honest after I had added the water and let it cool and squashed them by had they were pretty much just pulp anyway. So 4 days on and it was time to stain of the pulp for this a used a jelly bag which did the job wonderfully and after it had dripped for a while I was left with some rather dry raspberry pulp and a crap load of juice, Wizard Win!  So after adding the sugar I had 1 ¼ Gallons of wine in went the Young’s super wine yeast. 24hrs later I had a fizzing juice to put into a demi john. Now we wait 6 or so months and see what it tastes like if what has gone into the demi john is anything to go by it will be lovely.
