The start of Sweet Sweet Cranberry Wine...
Well, I got back a couple days ago and immediately went out to get my supplies. I have to clean the fermenter and thaw out the cranberries, which I got frozen and preservative-free. I allowed a pound of golden raisins to soak overnight, and I am going to bring the cranberries to a boil and add the sugar water shortly and place it all in the fermenter with some pectin enzyme, yeast nutrient and tannin. I've decided to try not adding sulfites to my wine (no campden tablets), since I know a couple people who haver pretty bad allergic reactions to it, and I just don't think it will be needed in the process. More to come this afternoon, Im not adding the yeast in until tomorrow, so that should be when all the fun starts.
