I recently bought a small book at a thrift store next to my work on wine making. A lot of the recipes in it do not call for yeast. Most of the recipes only require about 3-4# of fruit with 4# of sugar and a gallon of water. I know a place to pick several pounds of blackberries and wish to make wine out of them. Can alcohol be produced with out yeast? Do only some wines require yeast? Just looking for a some clarity on this issue. Thanks.
