INES...$$SAVINGS!

With the onset of fresh fruit coming into season,.a wide variety of ‘““country-style’’ or non-
grape wines are available. These wines are very easy and inexpensive to produce and results
can be very pleasing in short order. Indeed, if you have a fruit tree in your back yard, or ac-
cess to free fresh fruit / then the sugar required (roughly 1 Kg. per gal.) will be your greatest
expense. Appropriate additives and yeast will only be 15 cents per gallon (4.5 L.)!!

Keep in mind that winemaking is not a disposal system. Discard or remove any bruised
or rotten sections. if fruit is in extremely poor condition then it probably won't make good
Toby Taylor wine.

North Shore Hobby Brews

If it is not convenient to make wine as the fruits come into season, then clean them up
Brewmaster

and freeze them for later use. Wash the fruit and de-stem or pit as required. Seal in plastic
bags and put them in the freezer.

Some tips on preparation and production procedures are available in ‘Progressive Winemaking” by Acton &
Duncan. This excellent informative book is on sale now at NSHB at the unbelievable price of $5.99!!
