Precautions when brewing bayberry wine

1. There is no fixed ratio for bayberry, liquor and rock sugar (beginners can make it in a ratio of 4:5:1), but the liquor must be 1-2 cm above the bayberry, so that the bayberry will not deteriorate. If you like a sweeter taste, you can add more rock sugar to the wine.

2. The ones that are large in size, dark red in color, and dry to the touch are ripe and good sweet bayberries. If you like bayberry wine with a sour and fragrant taste, you should choose bright red bayberries, because bright red bayberries are actually not fully ripe and still taste a bit sour.

3. It is best to choose a pure grain liquor with a light fragrance of about 45°. You can also choose a liquor with a lower degree, but it is best to be higher than 35°.

4. The container should be a wide-mouthed glass container that can be sealed, so that it is convenient to take and put the bayberry. Moreover, the material of the glass will not affect the taste of the wine, and you can also see the brighter and more beautiful color of the wine through the glass; before using the container, pour some high-proof liquor into it to rinse it for disinfection.

5. The finished bayberry wine should be placed in a cool and ventilated place. If it is a small container, shake the bottle every three days to make the taste more uniform.

6. Bayberry wine: Some people like to eat bayberries in wine, while others like to drink them. If you like to eat bayberries, you only need to brew them for 7 days before you can eat them; if you like to drink bayberry wine, you need to brew them for 15-25 days (try not to exceed one month, otherwise the bitter taste of the bayberry kernels will be soaked out).
