Abstract
A method of making cereal wine includes mixing a ground cereal grain, sugar, amylase enzyme, yeast nutrient, wine tannin, and a sanitizing agent in water. After a time delay, started yeast is added to the mixed ingredients which are occasionally stirred as fermentation occurs. The solids portion of the mixed ingredients are allowed to settle to the bottom of a liquid portion which is drained off and stored in a separate tank. The wine is periodically racked and is deemed ready for bottling in approximately nine months.
