Sea-buckthorn Berry WineOrigin: British Period: Traditional |
Ingredients:
1.5kg Sea-buckthorn berries 
Method:PreparationWash and pick over the berries, selecting only good ones. Pour into a fermenting bucket and crush then add boiling water. Stir well and allow to cool to blood temperature before adding the pectic enzyme. Leave for about 36 hours then add the yeast nutrient and the yeast. Cover with cheesecloth and place in a warm spot to ferment for five days. At this point strain and measure the specific density with a hydrometer. You are looking for a specific gravity of 1.0982 so add enough sugar to bring the mix to this value. Pour the liquid into a fermenting jar and fill to the shoulder. Add a sterilized cork and fermentation lock (reserve any remaining liquid in the fridge) then after about a week top-up the fermentation jar with the remaining liquid. Allow to ferment for a further week then rack into your second fermentation jar. Add a stopper and a fermentation lock then leave in this jar until the wine clears. You are now ready to rack your wine into bottles. Once corked, leave the sea-buckthorn berry wine in a cool dry place for at least three months before tasting or six months for best results. I have given only basic instructions on making this wine here. For more detailed results please see my page on basic white wine brewing. |
