Instructions
Step 1
Making homemade red currant wine is easy, the recipe is simple. Sort the berries collected from the bush, remove the litter, twigs and mash with a wooden pestle. Pour the red currants into a wide-necked container, which can be a plastic bucket. If you are cooking currant jelly and there is still cake, add it to the berry.
Step 2
Prepare a syrup from three liters of water and two kilograms of sugar, refrigerate and pour over the prepared berries. Tie the bucket with gauze and place in a warm place to ferment. To prevent mold from forming on the wort, stir twice a day. Insist berries for 10-14 days.
Step 3
After two weeks, strain the red wine through a saucepan or cheesecloth folded in two or three layers. Squeeze the cake well and discard. Put another 300-500 g of sugar in the juice, stir. Pour into a 5 liter glass bottle, if not available, use a plastic water bottle. Close the vessel with a water seal. Make a hole in the cork, insert a tube into it (a straw for drinks is suitable), lower the other end into a container of water. Place the juice for fermentation in a dark room with a temperature of 18-20˚C.

Fermentation lasts 1-1.5 months. Check your water container regularly. As soon as “gurgles” stop appearing, fermentation is over. Open the bottle, strain the drink, pour it into the container and place it in a cool place to ripen for two months. After 50-60 days, you can enjoy homemade red currant wine.
