Winemaking from berries

Making wine is a great hobby,to which i dedicate more and more time.There are so many different variations to be tried out so it gets never boring.
 
This time I ordered from my favorite supplier (homebrewwest.ie ) a dried fruits kit, which was very reasonable priced, and easy to handle.

It is actually funny, even wood chippings are included in the mix, which should give the wine a real wine barrel taste.



Right now I use the guest bedroom, since its getting to cold in the utility room for a quick fermentation, but I need the wine to be ready in time for a mulled wine reception I am going to organize.

Its pretty clean right now to make the wine, but soon i have to transfer the wine into a different pot, also sieve the fruits out, get rid of the CO2, mix it again with the stabilizer, and than finally bottle it.

It might get a bit more messy, but i should manage without flooding the whole room :-)

I will let you know how this goes on, and i will tell you my secret mulled wine recipe which is in my family since generations.
