HOW TO - bottling homemade wine

Basically just showing how to bottle homemade wine after it has completed fermenting in the carboy. It will continue to ferment and produce some carbonation in the bottles It's best to wait a couple weeks before cracking the first bottle open to drink. We will start the next batch of wine in the next couple of days and we will also video/upload that process as well. Keep your eyes peeled! :)

[jumpingforsafety1]

hey i was just wondering how long you wait after bottling the wine to drink it?

[JessC00k]

@jumpingforsafety1 : We usually wait a few weeks once the cloudiness is gone and it clears up. :)

I've heard that with blueberries it can take more than a year to properly ferment the wine due to certain acids that are present in the blueberry juice. Have you run into that in your winemaking with Blueberries?

[marcoze]

you should get a quick connect spigot on a magnet so you can just spigot the wine instead of constantly having to wave to the gophers

Hi Jess,

I have made sparkling wine using the champagne method, including gettig rid of the sediment. I see you are basically priming and corking the bottles. I suppose you decant very carefully (like I do with my bottled beers). I am not worried about sediment (it might even be healthy....).

Cheer! Enjoy the holidays - you doing a special brew?

Beer bottle capper works good. Might be cheaper too.

Do you use any tabletts like cambden or campden or such things to stop fermenting? Or does it do this by itself? I got all the stuff here just new to it.

Everywhere i could read that u have to use these things to stop fermentation.

Thanks in advance i like that idea so much would like to start tonite as i got even a pack of wineyeast. Ever tried normal baking yeast?
