In summer we eat green beans,
peaches, cherries and melons.
In every sense nice and long
the days form a sound.
……
——Robert Walser
Summer, the fruit is very lively, so throw into the stomach, a little single, and once also can not eat too much, then sealed in the wine, wait for the care of time.

The plums are ripe, so it's time to drink
This year is the first time to make green plum wine, why do it?Because the plum is ripe.First prepare plum, rock sugar, wine, I use the brandy, the origin of personal preference for Yunnan plum, feel the aroma will be more intense, rock sugar choose soil rock sugar.
The method is very simple, the plum clean, remove pedic, dry, a layer of plum a layer of rock sugar, or put the sugar on the top of the plum can also, finally pour into the wine, plum: wine: rock sugar =1:1:0.5, placed in a cool light place can be saved.
I didn't puncture the plum, so I felt ugly and wait slowly, the longer the bubble time, the stronger the plum, the taste and soft, and the color is good.Generally brew more than a year to better drink, and the alcohol level will decrease.Usually add ice or bubble water when drinking it.Wait for my wine to soak, with hot pot, barbecue, crayfish, barbecue...

The green plum wine is a bit like removing a blind box
Green plum wine is a bit like unpacking a blind box, sealing the summer scenery and opening it in the coming year, whether the taste and success is unknown.
At the beginning will go to see every day, see it a little change, green plum from full, wrinkled, again full, wine color from clear to amber.
It is suggested that green plum wine had better drink again every other year, I made it last summer, opened it almost 3 months later, the taste is sour, not very good to drink, then also slightly disappointed.
Recently, after a year later, I thought of my plum wine, opened and scooped a spoonful, wow, really completely different, quickly found a nice glass, add ice, and then mixed with some soda, amber liquid ice cold, sour and sweet, is my own private brew flavor, ha ha ha.

Start your self-sufficiency shopping career
Say, I have enjoyed the beauty of green plum wine for three years.
In 2019, my sister finished Kore-eda in front of the city, making Japanese plum wine.
In the spring of 2020, she gave me a bottle of fresh green plum wine and asked me to try it.
After October aging, green plum wine is sticky, golden color, such as flowing amber, emitting a long charming aroma, sip, a variety of flavors like silk slip through the chamber.The world is worth it.
In this way, I was lured into this vigorous, self-sufficient drunken career.
I make green plum wine every year, and I haven't tried it at anything else yet.There is too much discussion and experience about the variety of plums, the proportion of fructose wine, the selection of storage containers, the process sequence, and on the Internet.
The only thing to say is the base wine option.First throw an assertion: bulk liquor, sorghum wine, corn wine bubble can not produce good plum wine.
In addition to the degree, unfragrant distilled wine is the key to maximize the flavor of plums, because it is tasteless and colorless, mellow and sweet, will not affect the flavor of plums, but also urge aromatic substances.If using white wine, there may be the fragrance of green plum, but the taste of alcohol flavor enough, choking spicy mouth.
Lilith is preparing to brew it with distilled soju this year
I have tasted and bought several self-brewed plum wine, generally with white wine, without exception are difficult to enter, the smell is cloudy, feel drinking fine mixed with green plum juice, very obvious sense of separation.
Say plum wine ritual feeling, generally first sniff, and then add anything pure drink one or two, let the taste buds immersed in the time forging, then into the chilled soda, let carbon dioxide stimulate the fragrance of green plums, like drinking soda into a big mouth, feel carrying small bubble alcohol, straight to the skull, then hit a cold hiccup, heat will drift away.
A year after aging, the water and aromatic substances in the green plums are forced out by alcohol, and the flesh smelling of silk wine is soft as meat, or crispy and sweet. When pouring the wine, two or three green plums are picked, just like Ma ni with green olives.There's no summer anymore.
Unfortunately, people who are too greedy can not wait for them to drink up all the inventory before summer comes.

Fruit wines full of time attention
I am not bubble wine, is wine, unique secret is not, have to say is to be in a happy mood, when the weather is good, the probability of fermentation success will be much higher.
Pomegranate, grapes, lemon, plum, bayberry, apricot... each variety of fruit can be brewed in several ways. I will briefly introduce several classic wine making and some wine bars that can be drunk quickly.
Honey plum wine
1. Wash the plums, remove, dry and disinfect the container
2. Plum and honey weight 3:1 into the cylinder and shake well
3. Shake the jar every day in the previous week to ferment the honey and plums
4. One week after fermentation, open the tank to smell the smell. If there is no odor, add 1 / 4 weight of sugar for one week every day, and add 1 / 4 weight of sugar if the tank has no odor
5. Wait for fermentation, you can drink after 3 months, it is recommended to stay until a year to drink, taste better
Lemon gold wine
1. Disinfection the container, add lemon peel (only yellow skin, do not touch white flesh) and sugar twice the weight of lemon peel
2. Add the gin to drown out the lemon peel
3. Wait for 7 days to drink, you can also pass the color reference, become yellow and bright can drink (it is recommended to drink with soup water)
Cucumber rosemary
1. Disinfection of the container, cucumber slices and rosemary into the jar
2. Add vodka flooded materials
3. Wait for seven days to drink (recommended to drink sparkling water)
In these wines, honey plum wine is my favorite, especially simple, honest, full of time care, soaked plum can be eaten directly, can also be made into decoration.
For me, the cucumber rosemary wine mixed with menthol and sparkling water represents summer.The reason is very simple, can't eat when hot, menthol can cool down the summer characteristics can really save me.
Good wine, sometimes directly drink to play, sometimes mix wine, add ice, sparkling water, fresh fruit is the basic version, sometimes want to be a little coquettish, will match some interesting materials, such as mix patchouli, osmanthus, mint, Perilla, ginger.

Making wine is like playing a game
This year is my third year of bubble fruit wine, more and more love, from 3 cans to 6 cans, the number of more and more cans, this year bubble 15 cans, ha ha ha ha.
Wild raspberry, green plum, red bayberry, loquat, apricot, cherry, lychee, these fruits have been included in my wine.
Soak wine steps are as follows: prepare wine (high rice wine, sorghum wine, double steam wine), sugar (brown sugar, rock sugar, honey, can), fruit (everything can bubble), spare (good sealing of glass bottles), cleaning fruit, drain water, bubble (a layer of fruit, a layer of sugar, a layer of fruit, a layer of sugar... until the full bottle), pour into the wine (not too full), cover.
For me, making wine is like playing a game, there is no unique secret book, completely by feeling, is to feel fun, more is injected into their own love, play casually.
Usually, the soaked wine can be drunk for about 6 months, but I can not open the cover, until a year later, so that the wine flavor is more mellow, stronger fruit flavor.Summer is coming, the appropriate amount to add ice directly drink is a very good taste.
Compared with the high sweetness of lychee wine, raspberry wine is light and heavy, and red bayberry wine is thin, and I still love the mellow and rich green plum wine.After the entrance, the taste from fresh sour to sweet sweet, from the tip of the tongue into the throat and then into the stomach, are refreshing.
Drink by the stream
Pour a glass of wine and sit in the yard, with sunshine, shade, flowers, breeze, birds, insects... sip more than anything.
As Jia Wei said, the fruits of nature are rich and unique and delicious taste. It to make wine is not only fun and delicious, which is a multiple happy experience.After reading their bottles and jars, do you also want to create your own exclusive craft wine for this year?Leave a message to share your bubble wine little story, beautiful summer, worth it!
