step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prepare the strawberry must
- Crush the strawberries into the fermentation bucket.
- Add the water and the sugar, then stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir in the yeast nutrient and the rehydrated wine yeast.
- Step 2
Ferment the wine
- Cover the bucket with an airlock and let it ferment until the yeast has converted the sugar into alcohol.
- Stir or punch down the fruit cap daily.
- Step 3
Let the wine clear
- Siphon the wine off the fruit into a clean carboy.
- Leave it to clear.
- Step 4
Infuse with lavender
- Add the dried lavender flowers to the wine.
- Let it sit, tasting a sample every few days so the lavender does not turn soapy.
- Remove the lavender once the flavor is right.
- Step 5
Stabilize and back sweeten
- Stabilize the wine with the wine stabilizer.
- Stir in the simple syrup and the strawberry syrup to taste, keeping it semi-sweet.
- Step 6
Bottle and age
