The Fundamental Stages
In the effort to learn how to make homemade wine it is useful to know the breakdown of stages needed to produce wine, such as flavor extraction, fermentation, bottling and aging. Besides learning these concepts you will also need to know the types of equipment you need for making wine at home, and the ingredients needed to make the wine you make at home, great.
Stage One: Flavor Extraction
Some wines can be made from pure undiluted juice from the grape and may have little to no sugar added to them. But many times homemade wines may use fruits that has strong flavors and may need to be diluted with water so that it will have a more agreeable concentration. In this process the juice (or flavor) is extracted and the liquid that is obtained is watered down or diluted, this is called the must
. Sugar may be dissolved in the must and the yeast will need to be added so that the fermentation process can begin. You will have to decide if you will use real fruit or juice concentrate. If you choose to purchase juice concentrate you will avoid all the squeezing.

The actual fermentation process involves to stages, the first stage is the aerobic stage in which the yeast builds up a colony and the second stage is the production of alcohol in the much. Many times the first stage occurs in your primary fermentation bucket, which contains the must and the pulp of the ingredients. This is the first step in the extraction of the juice or flavor, so you may notice that the extraction and the fermentation work together. After waiting the allotted time as directed by your recipe, you will need to strain the liquid (raking) and then pour the liquid into your demijohn or a vessel with a fermentation lock to block the air out. While the yeast is using the remaining oxygen you may see some bubbling, this will stop when the oxygen is gone and a
