| Before we begin our
presentation let us remind you that our product is NOT A
CONCENTRATE. You don't add water. Imagine pressing or squeezing
vinifera grapes and collecting the run off. That is our product. The
juice is not chemically or physically manufactured like
concentrates. Therefore our winemaking method may seem different. It
is easier than making wine from concentrate and you don't
need different packages of dubious nature. It reflects the
traditional winemaking method of professional wineries. |
Most winemakers already have the necessary equipment needed.
-20 L (5 U.S. gallon) glass carboy and gallon jug
-siphoning equipment including a plastic hose, rigid J tubes and a sediment excluder.
-airlocks and rubber bungs
-hydrometer (measures sugar content or specific gravity ~ S.G.)
-57 g or 2 oz. of potassium metabisulphite K2S205 (a sterilant).

Sterilization
"Cleanliness is next to godliness." This phrase also holds true for winemaking. Dissolve 2 oz. of potassium metabisulphite into a one (1) gallon jug of hot water. This makes a reuseable disinfecting solution that will last up to 6 months if kept tightly capped. Sterilize all equipment that will touch the wine or juice by rinsing it with this metabisulphite solution. After sterilizing your equipment, always rinse your equipment twice with cold water.
