Prison Wine

   The other night I was doing a little review on the method I used to make my "Get Jacked" wine.  It just wasn't wanting to start its fermentation process.  So, I went back to the video I had watched and used to make this wine.  No real cues, but through some other readings, realized the temperature of the room I use may have been a little cool and therefore stumped the working of the yeast a bit.  As of this blogging, "Get Jacked" is bubbling nicely with a strong fermentation process.

"Prison Wine"

   On the side of the page where the video was, there was a video for making blackberry wine in a mason jar.  Well, this looked pretty easy to me...and it was...very easy.  So, I got out a couple of my large, 2 quart mason jars and placed some Gala apples in them.  Then I took some blueberries I had and did a quart size with them.  We had some frozen mixed berries that were about to expire, so I used them in another.
   As you can see, the berries seemed to give off their colors and juices a bit more freely than the apples.  I have, since this photo was taken, added two more jars of the frozen mixed fruit.  In four to five months we will see if we got anything worth keeping.
   This type of wine is called prison wine because it can readily be made with very few items.  All you need is the jar with ring and lid, some fruit, and sugar water.  The hardest part would be finding somewhere to keep it where the guards wouldn't find it.
