Wine not?


We processed the grapes by hand and got half a bowl of white and a big pot full of red. They were delicious by the way!

We crushed the grapes with the Mouli and got a glass full of green juice from the Solaris, which we drank. We got a jar full of must from the Rondo which Alex topped off with a little water and some yeast dissolved in 3/4 cup of boiled lukewarm water. The must is thick and we couldn't put it in a 5L demijohn, so we used my 2L apple cider vinegar jar, which promptly overflowed overnight. We then split it into two jars with plastic pull-on lids which let the air escape. 

The only good news is that the Brix measurement by refractometer is precisely 20. 


How do farmers do it year after year?
