The following guidelines will help novices in the winemaking department. Follow these steps for you to know how to make white wine at home. For the equipment, you can buy, rent or just use the ones you already have at home. Just make sure that you sanitize and clean everything including your work station. You wouldn’t want bacteria or vinegar flier to contaminate your mixture, do you?

Before we go ahead and teach you the basics on how to make white wine at home, please do take note of the following things that you will need:

Things You'll Need:

•   fermentation locks
•   plastic bucket
•   sulphite crystals
•   wine yeast
•   wine grapes
•   glass wine fermentors
•   acid-testing kits for wine
•   Glass Wine Fermentors
•   Sulphite Crystals
•   Wine Grapes
•   Wine Yeast
•   Acid-testing Kits For Wine
•   Plastic Bucket
•   Plastic Bucket

So how to make white wine? Let’s get on with it.

Before Fermentation

1.Grapes must be crushed without the stems.
2. Discard the pulp and skins as you press into the bucket. The juice left should be clear.
3. Get your sulfite crystals and add them to the juice. Be sure that your measurement for sulfite powder is 0.1 gram per liter or 1 campden tablet per 10 liters. Mix it into 1 cup of warm water and then with a wooden spoon, stir into juice. You may also use plastic spoon if the other is not available.
4. At this point, the brix of juice must be about 22 to 24 degrees which will depend on the varietal used. For those who don’t know, Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a kind of measurement of the dissolved sugar-water mass ratio of a liquid.
5. You may add sugar to the juice if the Brix is lower than 21 degrees.
6. You may use an acid testing kit to both check and adjust your juice’s acid level The acid-testing kit can be bought at winemaking shops. Make sure that the acid content of your mixture should be about 6.5 to 7.5 g/liter.
7. Be sure that your juice’s temperature is always checked. You may adjust when you think it’s necessary. The ideal temperature must be between 55 and 65 degrees F. It is very crucial to maintain the temperature below 60 degrees F all throughout the process, as well as during fermentation.
8. Siphon the juice to glass fermentors but only 2/3 full. Seal it with an airlock or a fermentation lock.
9. Leave it for 24 hours.
10. Afterwards, for every 3.8 liters of juice add 1 gram yeast pellets dissolved in 1 cup warm water. Then leave it for 10 minutes before adding to fermentor. Seal it again with a fermentation lock.

Fermentation

11. Make sure you check Brix two times a day.
12. You must also chevk the temperature two times a day. It is crucial that the temperature remains at or below 60 degrees F.
13. Brix will eventually reach 0 and when it does, this means that the fermentation is complete. Let the fermentation lock remain attached.
14. At this time, you can now siphon the wine while straining off the sediment. As the sediment settles, rack or strain it off from the wine. Siphon the clear wine into glass containers that have already been sanitized or cleaned. At this point, you may now completely fill the containers.
15. You can add the sulfite. Then seal with an airlock or fermentation lock. Maintain the temperature at or below 60 degrees F.
16. Each time the sediment settles out, rack it. This usually happens every 3-6 weeks.
17. Rack and add sulfite after the sediment settles.
18. Leave it and let it age for an appropriate amount of time.
19. Time to bottle your wine.
20. Let wine bottle for appropriate amount of time.

The procedure on how to make white wine may seem a lot but it just really is simple. Just follow each one carefully and remember to enjoy yourselves too.
