Planning the next batch - Making Red Wine
August 12, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
So the first batch of wine is firmly on the way - at last a photo below to prove it! Basically, it does look a little cloudy and a little like cider rather than wine, but I have been assured that in the next step ( due to take place on Friday! ), the clearing process will begin!!
So, as any confident wine maker would do, I’m already planning my next batch of wine! Oh yes indeedy!!! This time, i have made a white wine, and its with the mix that came with the wine making starter kit, so i’m a little unsure as to what the quality will be like, but I do fell confident I’ve built enough knowledge to be a bit bolder with my next batch.
So, I have decided to make a red wine - just to compare if nothing else - and I think i’ll go for a cabernet sauvignon rather than anything overly complicated or complex in taste, like a Rioja for example.
I’ll look on the internet this afternoon, select and post tomorrow!!
Also coming up in next weeks blog postings - my step by step guide to wine making, plus the brewing plans for the remainder of 2008!!
