Recipe for homemade wine from sea-buckthorn
Ingredients:
- granulated sugar - 5 kg;
- berries of sea - buckthorn - 15 kg;
- egg - for clarification;
- water.
Preparation
Berries collect whole, not crumpled and kneaded with a mixer. Seabuckthorn for wine can not be washed, since there are bacteria on its surface that contribute to the fermentation process. If they are very dirty, you can wipe them with a dry cloth. Then we crush the crushed berry several times through the gauze, folded in half. The resulting sea-buckthorn juice is poured into 5 liter containers and poured into each glass of sugar. Then we put the pots on gauze and leave them for 3 days. In a few hours, orange foam will begin to form on the surface, which we carefully remove. After 3 days, we pour the juice together with the sediment into one large bottle. Separately dissolve 2.5 kg of sugar in warm water and pour the syrup into the sea-buckthorn juice. After that, we put the prepared wort into fermentation. The remaining 2.5 kg of granulated sugar is poured in equal parts on the 4th, 7th and 10th day of fermentation. Also, a few times a few times we slightly rock the container with wine, so that its walls are completely washed. Active fermentation ends with the formation of a thin layer of sea buckthorn oil on the surface of the drink, which is carefully removed and filled with water. Then on the container we put on an inflatable rubber glove with a hole pierced in the finger. Ready drink 3 times percolate through a dense fabric to get rid of the sediment, and leave the wine to ferment. On the container with again install the glove and transfer it to a room with a temperature of about 12 degrees. There our wine will be about 3-4 months. Once a month and a half we pour the drink, removing the sediment at the bottom. To make it more attractive, you need to lighten the wine. To do this, the egg whites are separated carefully from the yolk, whisk it, periodically pouring water. Then the resulting foam is mixed with 1 liter of wine, and then the resulting liquid is poured into a bottle with a thin trickle. Next, the drink is thoroughly mixed and left alone for 2-3 weeks. After the clarification process, we will get white wine from the sea buckthorn juice with an orange tinge. Now it is necessary to pour it neatly into bottles and leave at room temperature for six months to stand.
