Homemade DRAGON FRUIT WINE with 9.8% of ALCOHOL

Summary

This video explains the process of making Dragon Fruit Wine, a sweet and special homemade drink. The process starts with preparing the ingredients, including 1 kg each of dragon fruit, dark muscovado sugar, and white sugar. Fermentation begins and lasts for 24 hours initially, with periodic stirring. After 5 days and then 40 days, gravity readings are taken, with the final gravity measuring around 1,070, indicating an alcohol content of 7.5%. The wine can be enjoyed at different temperatures, depending on the season, and is ideal for sharing with friends during special occasions.

Takeaways

Q & A

What ingredients are needed to make Dragon Fruit Wine?

To make Dragon Fruit Wine, you need 1 kg of dark muscovado sugar, 1 kg of white sugar, and 1 dragon fruit. Water is also required to dissolve the sugar.

How long should the fermentation process last?

The fermentation process should last about 40 days. The initial fermentation period takes about 24 hours, and after five days, the fermentation should be checked and stirred once a day.

How do you know when the fermentation process is complete?

After 40 days, you should check the final gravity of the wine. It should be around 1.074, compared to the initial gravity of 1.110.

What is the alcohol content of the Dragon Fruit Wine?

The alcohol content of the Dragon Fruit Wine should be approximately 7.5%.

What is the difference in gravity readings during fermentation?

The difference in gravity readings is 1.110 (initial gravity) minus 1.074 (final gravity), which gives a difference of 0.074. This difference is used to calculate the alcohol content.

How often should you stir the wine during fermentation?

You should stir the wine once a day during the fermentation process.

How do you serve Dragon Fruit Wine?

Dragon Fruit Wine can be served either at room temperature in the winter or chilled in the summer.

What makes Dragon Fruit Wine special?

Dragon Fruit Wine is special because it is sweet and made from the tropical fruit dragon fruit, which gives it a unique flavor and color.

Can you store Dragon Fruit Wine in any special way?

The wine should be stored in a cool place, ensuring proper fermentation. Once opened, it should be consumed promptly to maintain its flavor and quality.

What should you check during fermentation to ensure the wine is fermenting properly?

You should check the fruit content and the gravity levels to ensure the wine is fermenting properly. The fruit should be smashed and mixed well to aid fermentation.
