Ingredients:

  • 4 pounds mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries – get creative!)
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 packet wine yeast (specifically designed for fruit wine)
  • 1 gallon spring water
  • 1 Campden tablet (optional, for sterilization)

Equipment:

  • Large food-grade bucket (at least 5-gallon capacity)
  • Airlock
  • Bottling bucket
  • Siphon tubing
  • Bottles for bottling
  • Wine bottles with corks or caps

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparing the Fruit: Gently wash and hull your berries. No need to be overly precise; a bit of rustic charm adds to the character!

2. Initial Fermentation (Primary Fermentation): In your large food-grade bucket, combine the berries, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Add the spring water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. If using a Campden tablet, crush it and add it to the mixture to sterilize it, allowing it to sit for 24 hours before proceeding.

3. Yeast Activation: Prepare the yeast according to the package instructions. Once ready, add it to the fruit mixture. Stir gently to incorporate.

4. Fermentation: Cover the bucket with a lid or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band. Fit the airlock onto the lid to allow carbon dioxide to escape while preventing unwanted bacteria from entering. This primary fermentation usually takes 2-3 weeks. Store the bucket in a cool, dark place (around 65-70°F).

5. Racking: After the primary fermentation, carefully siphon the wine off the sediment (lees) into your bottling bucket. This removes unwanted solids and improves clarity.

6. Secondary Fermentation (Bottling): Bottle the wine using a siphon and seal tightly. Allow the wine to sit for another 4-6 weeks to age. During this time, the secondary fermentation completes, further developing flavor.

7. Enjoy!: Once the secondary fermentation is complete, carefully open a bottle. Taste and enjoy your Dragon's Dogma 2 Fruit Wine!

Cooking Tips & Variations:

  • Fruit Selection: Experiment with different fruit combinations! Cherries, plums, or even apples would work wonderfully.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. A sweeter wine might require more sugar, while a drier wine will need less.
  • Spice it up: Add a cinnamon stick or a few cloves during the primary fermentation for a spiced fruit wine twist.
  • Aging: Allowing the wine to age longer will result in a smoother, more complex flavor profile.
