Quick & Easy Plum Wine - And Here We Are I back sweetened with a cup of sugar per gallon. You have to let it age at least a year. I don't add the raisins. I pretty much use this basic recipe for all the wines I make. I also don't use a hydrometer, I kinda just "use the force" 🤣

What else was I gonna do with those sand plums? Make jelly or jam? Making wine is more fun 🥰

Wild plum wine, 2017

I let my wild plum wine clear on its own. I post pic of bottles wine from 2017 in a minute.

Wine is about 1 1/2 yrs old. I put the gallon glass jug in the fridge and it settled out. Tastes great, sweet. See pics.

All bottled, I'll let it sit until September and give it a try. Tastes good at bottling. 24 bottles.

This sounds fun, I'll help. Count me in too, please.

Here's the color with today's racking. Last racking in December (I missed January) I added sugar to the carboy. Flavor really good. I'll bottle next month.

i've never used a hydrmeter, i kind of just "use the force" lol. i've had good luck so far with the last batch of sand plum wine 2 years ago and the persimmon from last year. the blackberries are going to add an interesting flavor i think. i'll keep this thread updated.

5 gallons. it was like 20 lbs fruit, 16 lbs of sugar, 5 gallons of water split between the 2 buckets. each got a pkt of the yeast. i needed to be able to pick them up and slosh them around twice a day, which is why i split it between the 2 buckets. i rack next monday, 2 weeks after going in the...

The sand plum tree only gave me 9 lbs of fruit, so i used the 4.5 lbs of blackberries from the freezer we picked in summer and bought 7.5 lbs of red plums at the store. Going good so far, awesome color and the smell from the airlock is yummy! See pics.

thank you so much for this info! i'll look it over this weekend when i have time. the wild sand plum tree has already bloomed and i'm worried. i live near tulsa, outside sapulpa. i didn't know that european trees tend to bloom later, this would be good for around here.

thank you all for the help! none of these came up in a google search :( i was beginning to think i was going to have to ask my friend laurent who lives in lyon, france to eat some plums and send me the pits so i could get a tree that way. hard work, but also fun. i'm planning a spot for the...

thanks so much beano for finding this! that's a bit pricey for me at the moment, so i'm going to wait for next season to start with a smaller tree. it's only $19.95 for shipping to oklahoma, which is surprising as i was expecting a lot more.

i recently stumbled upon this type of plum in a book, and was wondering if anyone had made wine with them. i'm in oklahoma, and so far i can't find where i could purchase a tree. does anyone have any ideas or maybe a place i could look. stark bros used to carry them, but they don't anymore...

Color and opaqueness still different, so for this months racking i blended them. We'll see how it goes. Smell is good, and it's still bubbling :)

https://andhereweare.net/quick-easy-plum-wine/ Note: i don't use the lemon juice and the yeast i use is the one with a "K" in it. It's for fruit wine.

2 weeks since move from fermentation buckets. Re racked. Color or opaqueness still different, not sure why as i used the same process on both buckets. I'll re rack once a month until clear. It will probably be April or May before this happens, i like to go as natural as possible with wine. As...

2 gallons to carboy today. Already better than last year, using the mesh bags made it so much easier! It's really bubbling :)

Pic of wine. Don't judge the bottle, it was all i had at the time i needed to get it out of the 1 gallon carboy. I have 3 of these bottles.
