A Cut Above Tradition – Organic Winemaking
If you think wine making is hard, then you should know that organic wine making is much more difficult. A lot of major wineries will tell you that the growing of the grapes is an essential part in the wine making process. Since grapes are hard to maintain and grow, you would probably be tempted to use chemicals and other things that will make sure your plantation is free from pests, diseases and other problems. If you want to produce organic wine, however, you should ensure the fruits that you use are grown organically. This means that the plant was grown naturally and without using fungicides, hormones, artificial fertilizers, growth regulators, pesticides, and other synthetic chemicals.

The process of organic wine making is not really much different from the conventional way of producing this alcoholic beverage. The first few steps usually include carefully choosing your ingredients, sterilizing the tools you will need, and washing the grapes carefully. Of course, you need to remove the stems and pits. If you are planning to make white wine, you better remove the skin of the grapes too. The succeeding steps include fermentation, which usually lasts for a week up to one month, and also aging, which can last for a year or two, depending on your preference and the type of wine you are making.
According to supporters of organic winemaking, using organic ingredients in wine making does not really affect the taste. In fact, some of the wines that are considered to be best-tasting in the world nowadays are actually organic wines made from France.
• Primary fermenter – This is where you mix your water, fermentables, and yeast.
• Airlock – This provides a means for letting the CO2 escape and prevents air from getting to your wort.
• Bottling tap – This provides the means for getting your “young beer” from the fermenter into your bottle.
• Bottles – Yes, a lot of the beer making kits out there even provide you with re-sealable P.E.T. bottles. These are handy because you don’t need a bottle caper and you don’t have to save your empty beer bottles to brew a batch of beer.
• A can of hopped malt extract with brewer’s yeast to make your first batch of home brew.
• Instructions on how to use their system. Some even have video available showing how their kit works.
• Some of the better kits even include some things like a hydrometer, mixing spoon, carbonation drops, etc.
You can save yourself some headache and stress by using a beer brewing kit to get started making your own beer. Beer brewing is a hobby that many enjoy and a hobby that will continue to grow
