Strawberry Wine

So with all this turbo cider my girlfriend said about making some strawberry

wine, so today at my local market i thought why the hell not ad brought 3lbs of
strawberries.

So here we go, this made 2 gallons but you can use 3lbs for 1 gallon but
after putting half the wort into a demijohn i thought to plsit this into two.




Wash your strawberry to make sure there clean and have no
pesticides.



Chop of the tops of the strawberries and liquidise them. I
also added 500g of sugar at this point.



Dissolve 1kg of sugar for each demijohn.



Add your strawberry wort to each demi john, Add to EACH
demijohn 1kg of sugar then top up with cold water, Add yeast nutrient and citric
acid. Leave this to cool when you are going to store your DJ's.



Pitch your yeast when cooled and put a air lock in, then wait
till clear and bubbles have stopped going through the air locks then bottle into
wine bottles with 1 table spoon of sugar or honey to sweeten.


The Gravity for these are as follows:-
Left - 1.080
Right 1.070
