HOW TO HOMEMADE WINE RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour the wine into a clean, wide-mouthed half-gallon glass jar. Put the lid on and shake it well to aerate the wine. Remove lid, and add drinking water until the jar is about three-quarters full, along with the live raw vinegar or mother. Cover the jar with cheesecloth and keep the cloth in place with a rubber band.
• Leave the jar undisturbed in a dark place at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks, checking regularly to see that a vinegar mother (a translucent, gelatinous disk) is growing on the surface, and no mold is forming. (If you see green, black or white mold, scrape it off; if it grows back, throw out the mixture and start over.) You should begin to smell vinegar after a few weeks, and can taste it every week or so to monitor the fermentation.
• After about 2 months, when the alcohol has acidified, or when a taste of the vinegar makes your mouth pucker, it's ready to strain and bottle. (You can save the mother to begin a new batch.) The vinegar can be used as is, or aged in the bottle for up to a year to mellow its flavor.

Steps:

• Wash and rinse rice and black raisins and keep it aside.
• Take a clean big ceramic jar or a glass jar. Add in all ingredients, rice, raisins, sugar followed by water. Stir it well with a wooden ladle.
• Next add in yeast and lemon juice and mix well.
• Cover the jar with its lid.
• Everyday stir it well for 2 minutes in morning and evening.
• Do it for the next eighteen days.
• On the 19th day open the jar and filter it (you can use a muslin cloth, I didn’t use) to a clean big bowl.
• Wash the jar and allow it for pat drying.
• Transfer the filtered content to the jar back and close the lid. Keep it for another week.
• You can see the colour changing from the next day onwards.
• After the said period, transfer it to clean bottles and you can start using it.
• The rice wine is ready to serve.
