Home-made wine – there’s something magical and alluring about it. Maybe it recalls the classic literature, when every manor house made their own drinks and treated their guests to them, or maybe the Soviet times, when many houses had three-liter jars covered with an inflated rubber glove.
ORANGE WINE
Anyway, it seems that making wine at home is a long and complicated process, so, when we saw in the recipe book of our fermenter APELSIN WINE, we could not resist the temptation and decided to try it, to make it and treat ourselves.
So, it took 15 large oranges. We squeezed them with an auger juicer. We got about 2 liters of juice with pulp.
We poured the juice into a jug, sealed it with a lid and kept it in the fermenter for 168 hours. So the fermentation process went on for 7 days.
After a week, it automatically shut off. Following the instructions, we strained the juice – on top of it formed such a lush steep cap – and put the jar in the fridge.
We strained it again and poured the drink into nice little bottles. We got a little more than a liter of brew. We did not clean it completely from the pulp. During storage another week the pulp precipitated, and the drink itself became light and almost transparent.
Naturally, we were tasting this young wine in a friendly circle.
The drink acquired a slight bitterness, combined with a bright citrus note and a sour-sweet taste. Everyone who tried it called it very tasty and many of them asked for more. Of course, it’s a weak alcoholic beverage, and for further “transformation” you can add sugar or honey and let it stand still. Some people suggested just diluting it with vodka and getting something very similar to Limoncello.
But the fact remains that the bottle was empty very quickly.
So the whole staff was satisfied with the result of the experiment and advised to continue in the same spirit, because in the book of recipes there are grape wine, pear wine, raspberry wine, apple wine, etc.d.
The fermenter does almost all the work, no need to watch the temperature and time.
A week is a long time, I would like the device to have a memory effect, and in case of power failure to indicate how much time is left.
I’m curious to know if Oursson FE0205D fermenter is suitable for making wine from oranges. Has anyone tried this specific fermenter for orange wine production? And if so, what were the results and overall experience? I’m considering using it for a similar project and would greatly appreciate any insights or advice. Thank you!
I haven’t personally used the Oursson FE0205D fermenter for making orange wine, but generally, any fermenter that is suitable for making wine should work for orange wine as well. However, it’s important to consider the specific requirements of orange wine fermentation, such as temperature control and the ability to accommodate the unique characteristics of orange juice.
I would recommend reaching out to others who have used the Oursson FE0205D fermenter for fruit wine production or specifically orange wine. Their experiences and results will provide valuable insights and guidance for your project. Additionally, researching the specifications and features of the fermenter to ensure it aligns with your specific requirements is advisable. Good luck with your orange wine project!
Can you please provide more information about the Oursson FE0205D fermenter test? I’m curious to know if it’s specifically designed for making wine from oranges or if it can be used for other fermentations as well.
