This is the base recipe I use. https://andhereweare.net/quick-easy-plum-wine/

I'm small batch, the most I make at once is 5 gallons. I use the artificial corks.

Mulberry purple passion flower fruit wine in the carboys today ❤️ perking right along. I tried a new yeast, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

The sand plum is a southern tree I think. I've got a tree, but I haven't gotten any fruit off it the last couple of years because of a late freeze. I got these from a place near Edmond Oklahoma.

This is the first racking out of the buckets. I started with 5lbs of sand plums and then a half and half mix of blackberries and mulberries (5 lbs total). Taste out of the buckets is awesome, I can't wait for the finished wine.

I've got a peach blackberry wine going at the moment. About 20 lbs peaches and 5 lbs of blackberries for the 5 gallons. It's pretty much done with the fermentation, when I do the next rack on the 27th, I'll be back sweetening. I kinda use the force, I've never used a hydrometer thingy. We'll see...

Hamburger helper cheesy enchilada, usually I use Italian sausage (Jimmy Dean), but tonight it was cubed pork loin because that's what I had. I always add 1/2 a diced onion and a can of Rotel drained.

Is 1/2 gallon of pressed juice enough to make 1 gallon of wine? I've got a friend that has some in the freezer from last year.

I'm starting 5 gallons of peach blackberry wine next week. I picked the 4 lbs of blackberries at a local blackberry farm on Tuesday and got them frozen and bagged. The peaches arrive next Wednesday, I bought the 25 lb box, but after pitting, it will be less than that. For primary, I split the...

Interesting topic! I love history of stuff and ancient how they made everything. I would think that until they figured out bottling, it would be hard to keep it from going bad or turning into vinegar.

Worldle is fun too! If I'm on the right continent I'm happy 🤣 my co worker and I do wordle and worldle every day.

I've read up, it's not enough to hurt you. With bigger plums, I pitted them, but the sand plums are so small, it would be a pain in the butt.

I totally agree, Scooter68! Freezing brings out more flavor.

I just zippy bag them and store them in the freezer until I have enough. When I'm ready, I thaw them in the fridge for about 4 days. I've done this with persimmon and sand plum, never had any problems. I do the primary with the pits, they get strained out when going into secondary. Adds an...

I've only got 1 sand plum tree in my front yard. Hoping it gives me enough fruit this year for another 5 gallon batch. Year before last, I had to add red plums from the store and blackberries we picked to get enough fruit for the batch. It aged 1 yr last month. It's pretty good!

I want to try the apricot, how much concentrate would I need for a 5 gallon batch? How much sugar? I've only ever used fresh or frozen fruit from my trees.

Wow! I've never seen this site! Has anyone used the apricot to make wine? How much would I need to make 5 gallons? I've only used fresh or frozen fruit from my trees to make wine, I've never used a kit or concentrate.

Cool!

I'm in Sapulpa too! I live up behind Camden Ridge estates off highway 33 on 10 acres. One of our neighbors keeps bees I think. Dad used to, but they died one winter years ago. I think he still has hives out back.

@beano ask any friends who hunt, they know where they are. I'm lucky to have a patch of trees on the land near me and the owner doesn't want them.
