hi folks. as some of you might be aware, i started a batch of mulberry wine back in june. with great patience i finally bottled it this past weekend. I had trouble choosing how to back sweeten my batch and with a stroke of luck, i found a neighbor who had some mulberry juice that was frozen. after some hard negotiations, i got the juice and added some suger to it to make a syrup with it. all i can say is WOW.
What i found to be the hardest thing making this wine was the clearing. i made it with just the juice, no water was added at all to it so it was pretty dark and alot of sediment. i filtered it once a month until i got almost all the sediment out. i ended up with 8 bottles of which i had to give 3 to the neighbor who had the juice.
This wine was a test of patience and will to this newbie wine maker and i feel i have learned alot during this process. Holy cow, june isnt that far away and my mulberry tree will be full of those beautiful berries again. think in the meantime, i will start a batch of cherry wine in a few weeks so i can once again see that beautiful bubbling thru the airlock once again.
Cheers my new friends and thank you all for the advice you gave in this effort.
oh and yes, i keep detailed notes on this batch.::
