Apple Plum Wine From Scratch

This wine is going to be a lovely evening sipping wine, the aroma is so lovely, I can't describe how it smells, but I can't get enough. I'm so very happy it turned out well, despite a number of things that could have been done WAY better. The plus side of putting a complete video on RUclips, I get to learn by seeing the overview, I know I can make it better in the future, but this didn't disappoint.

Good job improvising

Thanks, we actually just opened a bottle of this wine on the weekend, it's getting better with some age.

A note about your day 3 problem. After adding Camden tabs to sanitize your fruit, cover with a dish towel overnight to allow the sulphur to escape. If you cover with a lid and airlock, the sulphur remains and the yeast is not allowed to thrive and multiply. By allowing the sulphur to escape, it's no longer present by the time you add your yeast and fermentation will begin much more smoothly. Give it a try. Even use two layers of dish towel rubber banded over the bucket.

Great to know, thanks for the tip, I have wondered about the tablets effecting the startup, that makes a lot of sense.

Beautiful wine and pretty sure it tastes as good as it looks!

[@QualityHomeWinemaking]

It is good, I can't wait until it has some age on it to see how it develops.

[@dockofthebaycountrywines69]

@@QualityHomeWinemaking Can’t wait for the tasting! Keep it up 👍🏾

Great video

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Add pectin early. Aerate more the first day just before pitching the dry yeast, add nutrients after 24 hours not the first day. If you wait and don't rack so much and give the wine time you don't need to add cleaning agents. Let the wine sit longer in primary, 2-3 weeks, and swirl the closed bucket.

Lots of great tips right there, a few of the points you've made are also conclusions I've come to be doing more reading. Thanks a bunch for sharing your expertise.

Hey, random question, but how do you know the amount of ingredients to use per new batch? Are some things like the yeast constant to where it doesnt really change between recipes or does it all vary?

[@QualityHomeWinemaking]

ruclips.net/video/t54b2gwnM7o/видео.html you got a video reply, great question!

[@magacop5180]

Try honey instead of sugar.

[@QualityHomeWinemaking]

I've never made mead. Why do you like it vs sugar?
