How can I make pomegranate wine?

Pomegranate





* 6 pomegranates


* 1 pound raisins


* 4 cups granulated sugar


* 2 teaspoon acid blend


* 1 tsp pectic enzyme


* 1 teaspoon yeast nutrient


* 1 campden tablet


* 1 package wine yeast


* water





Split open pomegranates. Remove seeds, being careful to exclude the pith and skin. Crush the fruit. Add 12 cups of water and all other ingredients except the yeast. Stir well to dissolve sugar. Let sit overnight.





Specific gravity should be between 1.090 and 1.095. Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and stir. Stir daily for five or six days, until specific gravity is 1.050.





Strain the must and squeeze the juice out lightly so not too much tannin escapes from the seeds. Siphon into secondary fermentor and attach airlock.





For a dry wine, rack in three weeks, and every three months for one year. Bottle.





For a sweet wine, rack at three weeks. Add 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup wine. Stir gently, and place back into secondary fermentor. Repeat process every six weeks until fermentation does not restart with the addition of sugar. Rack every three months until one year old. Bottle.





The wine is best if you can refrain from drinking it for one full year from the date it was started.
