Dear wine lovers, today I want to share with you the steps and precautions for making the most correct plum wine. Plum wine is an ancient and delicious wine. Although the production process is not simple, as long as you follow my instructions carefully, you will definitely be able to brew sweet and delicious plum wine.
First, let’s make sure we have enough materials. You’ll need fresh, ripe plums, sugar, white wine and a clean, airtight glass jar. Choosing high-quality plums is crucial to making high-quality plum wine, so be sure to pick plums that are smooth and plump. In addition, choosing highly pure liquor is also one of the key factors in successfully brewing plum wine.
Next, let’s get into the specific steps of making plum wine. First, wash the plums with clean water, then remove the core, then put the plums and an appropriate amount of sugar into a sealed glass jar, and add white wine according to the proportion. Be careful not to add too much sugar to avoid affecting the taste of the wine. Then, seal the glass jar and place it in a cool and ventilated place to allow the plums and white wine to fully mix and ferment.
The use of yeast can help speed up the fermentation process, but excessive use of yeast will affect the taste of plum wine, so be careful when using it. During the fermentation process, remember to shake the glass jar regularly to help the plums and white wine mix and ferment better. Generally speaking, the fermentation time of plum wine takes about a month. During the process, you need to constantly pay attention to the fermentation situation to ensure the quality of the wine.
When the fermentation of the plum wine is completed, the next step is to filter and bottle it. The purpose of filtration is to remove residue and sediment to make the plum wine taste purer. After filtering, put the plum wine into a bottle and seal it for storage. Plum wine needs to be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to ensure the quality and taste of the wine.
Finally, let me share some tips for making delicious plum wine. First of all, it is crucial to choose high-quality plums and white wine, which will directly affect the taste and quality of plum wine. Secondly, check and shake the glass jar regularly during the fermentation process to ensure that the plums and white wine are fully mixed and fermented evenly. Finally, the process of filtering and storing plum wine also requires attention to hygiene and care, which will be directly related to the shelf life and taste of plum wine.
In general, although making plum wine is a bit complicated, as long as you follow my instructions carefully, you will definitely be able to brew delicious plum wine. Remember to be patient and careful during the process of making plum wine, and pay careful attention to every step, making sure that all production steps comply with hygienic and professional standards. Looking forward to seeing the wonderful plum wine you craft and good luck!
Plum wine is an ancient Japanese traditional drink. The preparation process is simple but takes a little time. Not only can you enjoy the pure flavor of homemade plum wine, but you can also adjust the sweetness and alcohol concentration so that every sip is the taste you like. This article explains how to make delicious plum wine at home using fresh plums, sake, sugar, and time.
First, we need to prepare the following materials:
1. Fresh plums: Choose plums with plump fruits and no damage. It is best to choose pesticide-free organic plums, so that there will be no residual pesticides during the soaking process.
2. Sake: Choose better quality sake, which will provide better flavor.
3. Sugar: Add an appropriate amount according to personal taste.
4. Container: Choose a glass or ceramic container, and make sure there is no oil or moisture on the surface of the container.
Next, we started making plum wine.
Step 1: Processing of Plums
First wash the plums and then dry them. In order to remove the hair on the fruit surface, we wash the plums with a little salt and then rinse them with water. Cut the plums in half and remove the pits.
Step 2: Pack the plums
Take a clean container, put the plums in it, and fill it until it is 70% full. During this process, you can also add more sugar to determine the sweetness according to your own taste.
Step 3: Add sake
Pour the sake into the container until the plums are completely soaked. During this process, you need to shake the container to help release more flavor of the plums.
Step 4: Storage
Place the container with sake and plums in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight. In this step, you need to shake the container gently every day to ensure that the sake is fully soaked by the plums.
Step 5: Wait
Depending on the ripeness of the plums and the outside temperature, you need to wait about 3 to 6 months. During this process, the plums release their juices and the sake is absorbed by the flavor of the plums.
During the production process, please pay attention to the following points:
1. Pay attention to hygiene: During the entire production process, it needs to be kept clean to prevent external microorganisms from entering the container. This can ensure that the flavor of plum wine is not affected.
2. Temperature: During the brewing process of plum wine, it needs to be kept at a lower temperature range, so that the flavor of the plum itself can be better preserved.
3. Pay attention to observation: During the waiting process, you need to check the changes of the plum wine from time to time to check whether there are any abnormalities, such as rotten plums.
While waiting, you can choose different waiting times according to your taste. Generally speaking, the longer you wait, the stronger the plum wine will be.
Finally, when the plum wine is brewed, we can start enjoying the delicious food. Plum wine has a long flavor, moderate sweetness and sourness, and is very suitable for tasting as an after-dinner drink. In addition, plum wine can also be used to make various alcoholic cocktails, or added to various fruit juices and sodas to make drinks with different flavors.
In general, although making plum wine requires a certain amount of time and patience, as the waiting process progresses, we will be rewarded with a cup of delicious plum wine. While enjoying the delicious food, you also experienced the fun of making it yourself. I hope everyone can try homemade plum wine, enjoy this simple and interesting production process, and at the same time feel the beauty of flavor and time.
