DU 089 Making our own wine from backyard fruit. Plus, latex glove aroma?
0:00 - 33:24: Warning! This week's episode takes a detour into home wine making. The "Dork Uncorked" Rod Phillips drops some knowledge as co-host Ryan Price tells of how he attempted to make wine out of his backyard plums and blackberries. 33:24 - 39:00: Why did Ryan smell an aroma of "latex glove" from an Okanagan Pinot Noir? 39:00 - 42:38: Rod's "Pick of the Week." It's a Sake called Hakutsuru Superior Junmai Ginjo. Plum/Blackberry Wine in carboy For the record here's the recipe Ryan cobbled together to make 1 gallon (no guarantee this will be good!): 5 lbs pitted purple plums 2 lbs washed blackberries 3 litres boiling water (I should have put in a bit less) 2.25 lbs white sugar 1 tsp pectic enzyme 1 crushed campden tablet (potassium metabisulfite) Let sit for a day 1 tsp yeast nutrient 1/2 tsp acid blend (citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid) 1 packet wine yeast (this seemed like a lot, but no disaster yet)
