My buddy has some property that we just found out has an overabundance of Chardonnay grapes growing. They are apparently ready to go now. My buddy home brews with me. We have done a few boil kits with good results. He is really pushing me to make some wine out of these grapes. He we have plenty. So no worries there.
My question is what is the best process to make the wine? Squash them and collect/strain the juice?
He has an uncle who is a huge redneck and make his own wine.. He said to wrap them in a bath towel and squash them and ring the juice out of the towel. (Seems dirty and not sanitary to me). Is there a better process? Also what other ingredients should I use.
Anyone have or know of a good write-up I can follow for wine using your own fruit? Im very hesitant to take on this project as we are beginners to the home brew..
Any info will help..
Thanks ahead of time.
