For apple wine, only tart cooking apples or Gravensteins can be used. All damaged apples must be picked out, or cleaned most carefully, not with an iron knife but with a silver or plated knife.
The apples are crushed and pounded, after which the porridge-like mass is placed in a vat, which is covered. Then one proceeds to the pressing work. From 100 kg. apples you get about 55 l. juice.
Light table wine: 30 l. juice, pressed as described above (about 54½ kg. apples for 30 l. juice), 7.5 l. water, 4 kg. preserving sugar. This is put on the fire until it reaches the boiling point, after which it is cooled to lukewarm and the juice is added.
Dessert wine: 28 l. juice for a cask of 40 l., 6.5 l. water, 9 kg. sugar. Treated exactly as described above.
If you want a stronger wine, you can take, for a cask holding 40 l., 30 l. apple juice, 6 l. water and 6 kg. sugar.
Apple wine usually ferments easily, but you can hasten the fermentation by letting the cask stand in the kitchen. When the fermentation is over, the wine is separated from the lees by letting it pass into another cask that has been carefully cleaned and rinsed with cognac.
On a clear, sunny day in May the wine can be bottled. It should preferably lie a year in the bottles, as it becomes far better then. But there is of course nothing wrong with drinking it right after bottling too.
