Adding Pectic Enzyme

We added a one ounce bag of Pectic Enzyme to each of the buckets.


 More Pectic Enzyme
Adding the "yeast starter"

Then we added the orange juice yeast starter that had been happily "getting started" on the counter since the evening before.

Some of it goes into Bucket #2


The last of it goes into Bucket #3


Yeast Starter, pectic enzyme and the strawberries

Now the buckets are ready for their lids and airlock stoppers as they begin primary fermentation.

Here is a photograph of the buckets on June 22, 2006.  Each one of the airlock stoppers is bubbling away as the primary fermentation begins.

First Stir - Three buckets

The saga continues...


I will be updating this page as our strawberry wine making process continues.  Check back over the course of the next few months to see what I add along the way.
