I like to brew wine; It's only a hobby but I'm obsessed!
This is the place to be if you want to see what another brewer is up to or want some encouragement to start or diversify. I've posted heaps of recipes (clicky) and 2 wine-making vids (here for wine made from cartons of juice blog / youtube, and here for Blackberry wine on the pulp blog / youtube).
If you're new here then do explore, take this link for tips about where to find what you're interested in.

Blackberry Wine Vid

Here it is, the promised vid posted when time allowed. This is for making blackberry wine on the pulp. Hope you enjoy the vid and the music, the Lucky Wonders. Find out more about them here on youtube or here on facebook or here on myspace

I used a better camera this time than for the quickie wine , little handheld Panasonic CCCD camcorder. It's an improvement on the olympus compact camera, tho i do think the olympus is cool.

    I just watched your video on making blackberry wine. We have the best wild blackberries in years by my house, so I'd like to try making some wine (complete novice here). do you have the recipe written out I can follow? I don't suppose you have a version in US measurements :)

    Hi Carolyn, how cool that you want to give this a go, and as a novice. If you are a stickler for working clean, and have patience then you'll love the resulting wine. Waiting 6 months - 1 year before trying it may seem hard tho, so after you get this wine started then have a look at the various quickie wines i have posted recipes for. These will be ready to drink in about 8-10 weeks! and that means you'll give the blackberry wine the time it needs to age properly.

    Onto your question then ... Blackberry wine is delicious, you can find recipes by going to this page

    http://homebrewedwines.blogspot.com/p/brew-list.html

    and rather than copying and pasting the ~URL you can go straight there by clicking "My Brew List (with recipe links)" which you can find on the right hand side under "pages"

    then scroll through the page and click on a blackberry wine recipe and you'll go straight to a written recipe and method, for example in 2010 "Foraged Blackberry (GV1 yeast)- 2**" or
    "Foraged Blackberry (Sauternes yeast) - 3**"

    2 stars (**) is my designation for a wine recipe i won't change cos i like it.

    i'm afraid i don't have US measurements (well done for spotting that!) but there's a heap of websites that do conversions, for example

    happy brewing!
