1 Gallon Container
1 Airlock
1 Large Pot or Blender
Fine Mesh Strainer or Cheesecloth

1 Brewsy Bar
2 1/2 lbs apricots (or approximately 1 gallon of store-bought apricot nectar)
2-3 lbs of sugar
Approximately 3 cups of water (or more, if needed)
directions

Pit and dice apricots into small cubes.
Add the apricot cubes to your pot/blender with sugar and water. Amount of sugar varies based upon how sweet you want the wine (2 lbs is a dry/keto while 3 lbs is a desert wine)
Blend/boil until completely dissolved.
Strain before moving to gallon container and (if you boiled the mixture) allow it to reach room temperature.
Open your brewsy bag and pour the contents in. Seal your juice again and shake well.
Apply the airlock, then leave your container somewhere dark and warm (75-80°F is best) for 3 days.

If you're not using the container your juice comes in, pour one gallon of Apricot Nectar into your gallon jug.
Pull up the sweetness calculator, and decide how sweet you'd like your juice.
Using the values from the sweetness calculator, pour out some juice (you can save it to backsweeten with later) and add your sugar. Then, shake it all up!
Open your brewsy bag and pour the contents in. Seal your juice again and shake well.
Apply the airlock , then leave your container somewhere dark and warm (75-80°F is best) for 3 days.

After 3 days, move it to the fridge for 48 hours. You can remove the airlock and set the original cap on top of your drink. Be sure not to tighten the cap!
After 48+ hours in the fridge, your yeast will have fallen to the bottom of your container.
Now, carefully "rack" your wine by pouring it off of the sediment into a different container. You can discard the sediment at the bottom — you won't want it in your final product. Then, pour a glass and give it a try!
Store the rest of your wine in the fridge, with the bottle cap still on loosely.
If you see sediment start to build up again after several days, you can rack it again. As it ages, the taste of your wine will keep on getting better. Cheers!
