80kg white grape
Crush well grapes (without washing them) with the foot, using a 45 liters pan. When the content acquiring consistency
"Jelly", carry it to a barrel of 100 liters. In barrel after the first 24 hours fermentation starts.
On the 3rd, 4th day, we observe a strong odor (alcohol). Between the 4th, 5th day, the volume increases, the crushed up and observe the separation
bagasse liquid. Finally on the 5th, 6th day fermentation begins to fall gradually. At this stage, the bagasse
detaches itself from the sides of the barrel, forming a shell. It is time to bottle the liquid. Realize then
racking for bottles (30 liters each). For this, make a hole in the center of the shell with the aid of a stick. By the
hole, insert a hose (can squirt) attached to a stick or piece of bamboo (okay clean).
The end of the hose should be 2 to 3 cm away from the bottom of the barrel, preventing the entry of sludge. Then suck it
other end (external) hose making liquid itself cause pressure, and fill out the bottles. While the
bottles are filled, bagasse starts downloading. The fluid removed is cloudy and sediment are apparent. Then let
wine up to a limit of an inch from the mouth of the bottle. Once filled, hermetically close the bottles with a
bung. Do it in the following way: use a cork or Styrofoam (shaped stopper) and make a hole in the center, sufficient
to the input of a hose (diameter 0.5 cm, approximately). The junction of the tube with stopper and the neck should
be sealed with paraffin, thereby preventing the entry of air and possible oxidation of the wine. The other end of the hose,
that was outside of the bottle, will remain in a container with water, also to prevent wine
oxide. Once inside the bottle the wine ferments, foaming enough (fermentation). Let the wine bottles resting in
for two months. At the end of this period the foam has completely stopped and will have the sludge formed at the bottom of the containers.
The wine is ready. Trasfegue it for bottles (sterilized and dried) with the aid of the funnel hose. The drink
travel through the hose and quickly funnel, and facilitate racking, prevents waste of beverage. Before sealing
the bottle, the cork moisten with a little wine to ease their entry into the neck. Store the drink in one place
cool, without much clarity.
