Cooking method
Due to the fact that watermelon consists of 93 percent water, making wine from it requires significant expenditure of sugar and watermelons themselves.
When cooking, you must clearly follow the recipe.
To make homemade wine from watermelons, the sweetest varieties of this berry should be selected. When using other watermelons, the taste of the drink will be bland.
In most cases, strong sweet wines are made from watermelon. You should not use these berries to make table wine – the products will be hopelessly spoiled.
Watermelon fruits are washed, the skin is cut off, the bones are removed.
You should also get rid of the white watermelon parts.
The peeled watermelon is crushed in a blender or just with your hands, and the resulting juice is placed in a prepared glass bottle for fermentation.
We pour sugar into the container at the rate of 4 kilograms of sugar per 10 liters of watermelon juice. When using this amount of sugar, we will get a dessert wine. You can adjust the amount of sugar depending on the desired sweetness and strength of the final product.
To speed up the fermentation process, add a drop of ammonia.
When the fermentation process comes to an end, the wine is filtered and bottled for storage.
The color of homemade watermelon wine may vary depending on the duration of storage: from pinkish to red.
