After two or three weeks, the balloon should be limp again and there will be no bubble rising.
After a day, the balloon should be "standing up" and small bubbles will be rising to the top of the wine.
Put the wine in a room temperature (or above) place and wait 2-3 weeks. These can be used over and over and are overall do a better job, but are not necessary.ħ.
Another option is to go online or to a wine shop and buy an airlock for $1 or $2 and a plug for about $1.
The balloon will allow the gas to escape while keeping unwanted organisms floating in the air out.
As the wine ferments, it will release CO2.
Take off the cap, then poke a few holes in a balloon with a needle, then stretch it over the the mouth of the bottle. Put the top on and shake it until the sugar is dissolved.Ħ. If you are making a spiced cider, try using brown sugar.ģ.
If you want the wine to be sweeter, you could add two or more cups of sugar.
In this recipe I add sugar and wait for the fermentation to complete so I have a higher percentage ABV (alcohol by volume).
Or, add only the yeast then drink the wine after a few days, while the yeast is still working, for a wine with a lower alcohol content and carbonation (yeast emits carbon dioxide also).
Apple juice is naturally sweet, so you could simply add only the yeast if you want a drier (less sweet) wine.
The yeast will feed on the sugar in the wine until it runs out or the concentration of alcohol in the wine becomes too high and they die.
Yeast feeds on sugar and emits alcohol in a process called fermentation.
I suppose the higher quality ingredients you put in the higher quality product you yield, but this is not going to be fine wine, so i would stick with the cheap stuff.)Ģ.
You can use any type of apple juice you want.
This will make space for the sugar and any foam made during fermentation.
Open the apple juice and pour out about two cups.
To start, make sure to your funnel is very clean.
Optional ingredients include: raisins, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and brown sugar.ġ.
To start a basic batch, you will need the following:
