Adding Yeast to Fruit in Wine Making

Video Transcript

"Ok, now that you've got your high quality water, your high quality sugar and your high quality organic fruit in there, it's time for the yeast. This yeast pack is gotten through a wine making supply place. Most large cities, wherever you can find that there's beer making supplies, you can find all the wine making supplies. This yeast pack, you will open up and you'll get, you'll get a hundred and four degree water. You take that hundred degree four water and you will open this pack and you pour the yeast in there. And in doing that, you would stir it, and stir that yeast up in there. And you'd want to sit that for fifteen minutes to let that yeast get activated in that hundred and four degree water. And of course, again, you would want to use the pure spring water or bottled water, but you wouldn't want to use water right from your tap that's been chlorinated. And once you've let it sit for about fifteen minutes, then you're going to go to your digestive bucket, take off the lid and you're going to pour that into your wine mix, and you're going to stir that in. The yeast is going to feed on the sugar and as the yeast is feeding on the sugar, it's converting that sugar into alcohol and that is what we're using to preserve all the good nutrients in the wine."
