Strawberry Wine Adventures

Today I started a batch of strawberry wine.
I used About 10 lbs of Strawberries

















Puree in the blender.


















Add 5lbs of sugar - put in a straining bag inside a fermenting bucket.
Smells like strawberry jam mmmm.













Add the juice of 4 or 5 limes, and a cup of strong tea (4 tea bags)















Add the other ingredients, (except the yeast) and about 2 gallons of boiling water.
Looks nasty now! Those are a million strawberry seeds floating on top.
Cover and stir for 24 hours and add the yeast. Ferment!! Ferment!!
Check out the 2 berries I didn't puree! I switched to the blender as soon as I realized how long it would take to chop them all up.
