If Using Sliced Peaches
If peaches are frozen, take out of freezer and allow them to reach room temperature.
Dice peaches into small cubes and add to large pot with water, sugar, and raisins (if you're using).
Stir occasionally until the base melts into a liquid.
Strain the juice to remove any excess peaches.
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 5 days.
If Using Peach Juice
If you're not using the container your juice comes in, pour one gallon of peach juice 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.
Final Instructions
After 5 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!
(optional) Once fermentation is complete, add black tea and lemon juice at your discretion to compliment taste.
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!
