Johnson’s Red
Matt Johnson has many grapes growing over his house and decided to put them to good use and asked me to make some red wine for him
.
He picked one carrier bag full of black grapes about 2.6kg. They had been sitting around for a few days in his fridge so some of them had started to turn bad. I decided to wash them in a solution of water with one crushed campden tablet to kill off any bacteria.
Lolly then crushed the grapes within the fermentation bucket, which only made 1/3 gallon. So to try and bulk it up a bit I chopped 200g of black raisins and boiled them in water. Which topped it up to 1 gallon.
I then measured the Specific gravity and added about ¾ kg of sugar to make up the SG to 1.090
I added bog standard brewing yeast and popped it in a warm room for 3 days.
