How to Make Balloon Wine

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large, clean fermentation vessel.
  2. Stir well to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Attach an airlock to the vessel to prevent unwanted oxidation.
  4. Allow the mixture to ferment in a cool, dark place for approximately 2-4 weeks, or until fermentation slows significantly. Monitor for signs of active fermentation (bubbles in the airlock).
  5. Once fermentation is complete, carefully siphon the wine off any sediment into a clean container.
  6. Bottle the wine and allow it to age for at least a month for optimal flavor development. Longer aging may result in even better flavor profiles.
