(Full Bodied)
2 lb. blueberries
1 lb. raisins
2 lb. granulated sugar
½ tsp. pectic enzyme
1½ tsp. acid blend
½ tsp. yeast energizer
water to 1 gallon
crushed Campden tablet
wine yeast
Bring water to boil, then set aside. Wash and crush blueberries and put in primary fermentation vessel with all ingredients except yeast. Add hot water and stir to dissolve sugar. Cover well and allow to cool to 70-75 degrees F., then add yeast. Stir daily for 5-6 days or until specific gravity is 1.040. Strain out fruit pulp and press. Siphon into secondary fermentation vessel and fit fermentation trap. Rack in three weeks and again in three months. When wine is clear and stable, rack again and bottle. Allow a year to mature. Improves with age.
BLUEBERRY WINE (2)
(Full Bodied, Semi-Sec)
2 lb. blueberries
½ pt. red grape concentrate
1¾ lb. granulated sugar
½ tsp. pectic enzyme
1½ tsp. acid blend
½ tsp. yeast energizer
½ tsp. wine stabilizer
7 pt. water
crushed Campden tablet
wine yeast
Wash and crush blueberries in nylon straining bag and strain juice into primary fermentation vessel. Tie top of nylon bag and place in primary fermentation vessel. Stir in all other ingredients except yeast, stabilizer and red grape concentrate. Stir well to dissolve sugar, cover well, and set aside for 24 hours. Add yeast, cover, and daily stir ingredients and press pulp in nylon bag to extract flavor. When specific gravity is 1.030 (about 5 days), strain juice from bag and siphon liquor off sediments into gla** secondary fermentation vessel. Fit fermentation trap. Rack in three weeks and again in two months. When wine is clear and stable, rack again, add stabilizer and red grape concentrate, and bottle. Allow a year to mature.
BLUEBERRY WINE (3)
(Medium Bodied)
3 pts blueberries
3 lbs granulated sugar
½ tsp. pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
7 pt. water
wine yeast
Put water on to boil and stir in sugar until dissolved. Meanshile, wash blueberries, put in nylon straining bag and tie bag closed. In primary fermentation vessel, crush blueberries. Pour boiling water into primary and stir well, cover, and set aside to cool. Stir in yeast nutrient and pectic enzyme, recover primary and set aside for 12 hours. Add activated yeast and recover. Stir daily and press pulp in nylon bag to extract flavor. Ferment 10 days, strain juice from bag and allow to settle overnight. Siphon liquor off sediments into gla** secondary and fit airlock. Rack, top up and refit airlock every 60 days until wine is clear and all signs of fermentation are at least 30 days past (6-7 months). Stabilize, wait two weeks and rack into bottles. Allow 6-12 to mature.
BLUEBERRY WINE (4)
(Light Bodied, Dry)
2 lb. blueberries
1¾ lb. granulated sugar
½ tsp. pectic enzyme
1½ tsp. acid blend
½ tsp. yeast energizer
1 tsp yeast nutrient
7¼ pt. water
crushed Campden tablet
wine yeast
Put water on to boil and stir in sugar until dissolved. Meanshile, wash blueberries, put in nylon straining bag and tie bag closed. In primary fermentation vessel, crush blueberries. Pour boiling water into primary and stir well, cover, and set aside to cool. When room temperature, stir in crushed Campden tablet, acid blend, yeast energizer, and yeast nutrient. Cover and set aside 12 hours. Stir in pectic enzyme and set aside another 12 hours, covered. Add activated yeast and cover. Stir daily and press pulp in nylon bag to extract flavor. When specific gravity is 1.020 (about 7 days), strain juice from bag and allow to settle overnight. Siphon liquor off sediments into gla** secondary and fit airlock. Rack, top up and refit airlock after 30 days and again every 60 days until wine is clear and all signs of fermentation are at least 30 days past. Stabilize, wait two weeks and rack into bottles. Allow a year to mature.

6-1/2 pts water
1/4 tsp grape tannin
1/4 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Chanpagne wine yeast
Boil water and dissolve sugar in it. Grate the zest from 3 lemons into primary. Juice all lemons and add juice to primary. Add grape juice to primary and add sugar water. Cover primary and set aside to cool to room temperature. Add tannin, yeast nutrient and pectic enzyme. After 12 hours, add yeast. Ferment until specific gravity drops to 1.020 (about 8 days). Rack into secondary, top up if required and fit airlock. In 4-6 weeks, check specific gravity. Rack when S.G. is 1.000. Top up and refit airlock. Age 6 months, checking water in airlock periodically. Rack into bottles and age additional 6 months before tasting.
Lemon Wine (2)
6 medium-sized lemons
2 lbs finely granulated sugar
7-1/2 pts water
