Birch sap Wine

[bolthole]

The trick with making good home made wine is not to try and make it too strong. 13 - 14% is good.

 

Use a hydrometer. Some wines need a bit of tannin or acid to make them taste right. Berry wines generally need a bit of pectolayse to make them clear - it tastes a bit better too.

 

If you wine ends up smelling of bad eggs do not drink it. You will regret it.

Just bottled up the sweet batch of Birch Sap wine - forgot to test the gravity but it tastes lovely. The Dry was good but this just beats it

 

Got a batch of Elderberry and bramble to bottle that's made from last years berries - last time I racked it it tasted good so hopefully it will have gotten better by now.
