Part 1 Ingredients:
5-6 pounds fresh or frozen strawberries
3 pounds sugar + 3 cups water (for simple syrup)
Spring water to bring it up to the right level (recommended over tap)
1/2 teaspoon pectic enzyme
1/4 tsp wine tannin
1/8 tsp acid blend as needed because strawberries are very acidic already
1 teaspoon yeast nutrient
71B yeast (1/2 pack)
Part 2: Ingredients for Bottling
As you get ready to bottle your wine, make sure you have these essentials:
1 Campden tablet per gallon of wine
½ tsp potassium sorbate
Simple syrup (for sweetening, if needed)
General Wine-Making Supply Check List (most kits will have majority of these items)
1.5 – 2-gallon fermenter (with lid, of course!)
1-gallon glass carboy – where the magic happens
Bung – no leaks allowed
Airlocks – gotta let the gas out
Wine bottles – to hold all that tasty goodness
Wine corks – seal the deal
Plastic spoon or stirrer – mix it up
StarSan sanitizer – cleanliness is key
Spray bottle – easy sanitation on the go
Mesh bag – keeps your fruit in check
Hydrometer – science meets wine
Glass cylinder – for hydrometer readings
Scale – for precise measurements
If your wine is struggling to clear, try using bentonite clay. Mix it with warm water according to package instructions, then add it to your wine. Let it sit for a few weeks and watch as the wine clears up beautifully.
