Suchwein Merry Day 19 - 22

Day 19
October 28 - October 31, 2015

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I had last checked in, and yeah I am back. Bringing you the latest news of our wine. Do any body know the reason why I didn't checked in everyday, it is because yeah the wine is on its process of aging. Which means that all we got to do was to keep it in the fridge and wait for it to age.

In this process, the colour of our wine is slowly changing from light red to dark red. We were a bit frustrated at the start due to the non-redness of the wine. But now we can be assured because the wine has slowly turn red and even redder.
Here is the picture of our wine:

Yay, and recently we stop racking it because we realiezed that the moment we rack the wine, a little bit of the amount will spilled out. Guess what will happen when we rqcked for 20 times, I believe a glass of wine is what we had left by that time. That is why all we did was to observed the wine. So, that's it for now guys, another 3 weeks and our wine is complete. Can't wait for that day hahahaha!

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 18

Day 18
October 27, 2015

Hey guys, how are you doing tonight? Great right. Of course, well our night? Don't know what to say hahahaha. I believe our story in the post will start to get boring again. Because yeah, what we did today was to rack the wine again, to make sure that the yeast disappear. Some of you must be thinking that "Hmmm, even after two days of racking the wine, the yeast is not disappearing yet?", and the answer is No! Even after a few times of racking the yeast will not disappear, there will always be some yeast left underneath the bottle. Now here is the image of the wine before we rack it just now.

:Look at the white substance, it sure is not as thick as two days ago right. Yeap, I know that we are doing a great job, because we have been taking care of the wine since day 1. Hehehehehe. After that we do the usual stuff, that is to rack the wine, so we transfer the wine and then move it back to a clean bottle, and yeah that's it. Sure is a nice experience to make a wine you know :) 

You guys definitely must try it some other time, you guys can check our blog as the reference, what's good that it is Free of Charge hahahahahaha!!! So, feel free to check it out guys!! See you tomorrow!

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 16 - Filtration

Day 16
October 25, 2015

Yo guys, today we are in the second day of our wine racking process. We are amazed and in the same time confused. Cause we believe yesterday we did really well in the racking process. But today what we found is that there is still a lump of yeast underneath the bottle.

Look at those white thingy, that is the so called yeast. I believe we racked it so well yesterday, but turned out that they camouflaged really well right. No wonder, Mr. Steven told us to rack at least 1 week. Yeah, and we are doing it for the second time today. So we do usual procedure, we transfer the wine to another container, strained the yeast, and the transfer the wine back in the clean bottle. Just as usual the white substance underneath the bottle disappeared. Yeah, we will come back tomorrow and let's see will the yeast come back. 

See you guys tomorrow!! See yaa!!!!! Brought to you by BH 12 G2 (Jerry, Mellisa, Chelsea, Suliandi, and Sheirwein).

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 15 - Racking

Day 15
October 24, 2015

Hey guys, we are here, we're here, and what a Saturday night we had. How is your Saturday night guys?  Must be awesome right, yeahhhh.. Ours too of course. We had move on to the next step of the wine making process. It is amazing yeah hahaha. We did a lot of work last night. Let's stop the empty talk and start showing you guys the real thing.

This is the picture of our Suchwein Merry before we start racking our wine.

So we started by doing a few procedure. Hygiene is important, so we put on our gloves *although it is not a glove*. Then we prepare some equipments such as, strainer, funnel, and, a container for the wine.

We started by removing the balloon from the bottle, and you know what the smell was amazing, felt like puking though hahahahaha.

After we remove the balloon from the cap, we have to cut the upper part of the bottle into half, in order to get the grapes out to the strainer. 

After cutting the upper part of the bottle, we can start pouring the grapes into the strainer to get the fermented grape must. But make sure that you strained it well to remove the majority yeast that is still in the grape. Then, in the same time, we need to squeeze the grape juice out of the grapes that is in the strainer, to maximize the fermented grape out.

There you go, we have our almost-ready Suchwine Merry Wine that has fermented for two weeks. Although the color of the wine is funny but believe me it'll end up really great. Now what is left for us to do is to put the wine in the container back to a nice clean bottle to contain it during the upcoming 1-week racking process.

Tadahhhhhh!! Here you go a nice wine made up from our 2 weeks fermentation. So, who wants to taste it first? Stop! stop! stop! Nope, it is not ready to consume yet. There are still a lot of yeast particle in it. That is why we are suppose to rack the wine every day. Right, so that's it? Just remember to loosen the cap of the bottle. The purpose of doing it, is to make sure that the carbon dioxide is not causing the wine to burst out when we open it, in the next day. After that just remember to keep the wine in a chilled place, and that is the chiller. 

So, that's it guys for today!!!!! How is it? You guys feel entertained or not? Because i'm sure most of you will start to have a feeling that you are itching to start making your own wine :) Don't hesitate no more guys, be innovative, go make some wine! We are from BH 12 G2 (Sheirwein, Suliandi, Jerry, Chelsea, and Mellisa) wil be looking forward to your next view. See yaa!!!

October 23, 2015

Hello Hello. Guys, guess what!!! We are one day away till we start to rack our wine. Hip hip yay. At last my viewer will not get bored to what I'm about to post anymore hahahahaha. Hey guys, how are you doing? I don't think there is nothing much that I will be talking about today, becausssssseeeee, all I wanted to do right now is to sleep, and wake up tomorrow to start operating our wine yay. Yes, I know that you guys are also excited right, I bet you are flowing with exciting energy to see what we will do tomorrow right hahahaha.

By the way peeps, just now I was observing our wine and found out that the yeast and the grape has been separated by all of the grape must, which then leave all the yeast at the bottom of the bottom while the fermentated grape floated in the grape must. Sure is a big progress right guys hahaha. But I do feel a little bit gross when I looked at those grape, it was all gloomy and full of fungi I guess hahahaha. Anyway guys, here is the latest update of how our wine has become.

I know the balloon is not growing anymore, feels kinda sad, because I like big balloons hahahaha, but in the same time feeling super excited because we are about to move on to the new step of our wine-making process yay!! So, stay tune for tomorrow update guys, We will see you tomorrow. Byeeeee!!

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 13

Day 13
October 22, 2015

Hey peeps, yoyoyoyoyoyo, I miss you guys!!! But I suppose you guys are sick of me right. Coming here everyday saying the same thing every single time hahahahaha. Be patient guys because we are 2 days away to a new chapter of our Suchwein Merry Wine story. Right guys. Today is just another day and yet another day that our wine is fermentating. Again and again and again. By the way, what have you guys been doing lately? Have you been facing some wine-related cases?

I would like briefly to talk about history. Speaking of history, everybody has their own life story, and so does wine. It was discovered that the earliest archaeological evidence of wine production yet found has been at sites in Georgia (c. 6000 BC) and Iran (c. 5000 BC). 6000 BC can you guys imagine how long since wine has been found. It's just amazing how this early civilization have invented everything, with those simple and primitive equipment. What about us? Of course we can do better. That is why we reassured you guys that our Suchwein Merry Wine will be a success. Then we will deliver you guys tasty wine to show just in the blog HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Kay! Now, here it is, the update of our wine.

That's we will see you guys tomorrow, Brought to you by BH 12 G2 (Sheirwein, Suliandi, Jerry, Chelsea, Mellisa)

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 12

Day 12
October 21, 2015

Hey peeps, we are back again. Today is a really bad day, you know why because the haze reach 206 API. But, it is also a joyful day for everyone because the air pollution index shoots through 200 which means no class yayyyyy *run*. Hahahahaha, just kidding, hazy day means we need to stay at home, so that we can keep our body fit. Right, now let us get on to what we are here for.

As usual, today is still another day for our Suchwein Merry going through the fermentation process. But I detected something unusual, the grapes start to swell and grow very nasty. But all of sudden, I recalled what Mr. Steven told us that it is normal for the grape to grow that way because that is what fermentation is all about. Fermentation is the process where yeast is the agent to transform the wine to be more alcoholic. Thus, our wine is now in it's 12 days of fermentation, just a few more days to go. Yay!!! In the following is the update of how our wine has become.

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 11

Day 11
October 20, 2015

Dear Bloggary, today is another beautiful day that our Suchwein Merry Wine has been going through. Yeah, and do you know what happen today??? And again FERMENTATION HAHAHAHAHA, great right! But guys do you know that fermentation was actually the most important process in the wine making because during the fermentation process, the grape is being processed by means of converting the grape to a more acidic state, thus making it so alcoholic. Hehehehe how bout it, feeling more satisfied after understanding it right?

Yeap, and again here is he update of our wine.

Btw, you can see that the green coloured balloon is not growing anymore, I believed it is in its maximum capacity due to its different shape of balloon compared with the blue balloon. So I guess it was fine. So how about it guys. I believe all of you are so excited and can't wait to taste our upcoming Suchwein Merry wine right!!!! Hurray!

That is why keep on coming everyday to be well info-ed of our Suchwein Merry!!!

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 7

Day 7
October 16, 2015

Yo guys, we are here today and our wine finally hits one week old yeahh. *clap2* Another 7 hardcore days to go. All right, now for today's situation. I am feeling a bit worried though, because the blue balloon is slowly deflating. Soon after that, we immediately do a thorough checkup with the balloon, at the end we are glad because no holes were found. But then we started to get worried again, fearing if something might happen to the fermentation process. So we consulted with Mr. Steven, our beverage studies lecturer, and he told us that it is normal for it to happen. Due to the unstable condition of the fermentation process. He also told us that, there is no need for us to freak out if the balloon popped out, all we need to do was to change the balloon, the moment we saw it was deflated.

So, we became even confident in making our own wine. Now here it is, the latest update of our Suchwein Merry.

That's it for today. Thanks guys who has been following our update every single day. Much loves from BH12 G2 (Chelsea, Mellisa, Jerry, Sheirwein, and Suliandi)

Day 6
October 15, 2015

Peeps, we are in the day 6, where yesterday is a horrific day for our Suchwein Merry. One of the balloon popped. But today, the balloon thrives because i guess the fermentation is going really well. Yeah, we believe that at the end we are able to create our own fine-quality wine. Now, who knows that one day we will be opening a wine business, it is not a sin to dream though. Hahahaha.

Here you are the latest update of our wine.

Yeah, the green balloon is growing really fine right. I know we are to cool to handle. JK :)

Well that's it for today guys, have a nice day.

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 5

Day 5,
October 14, 2015

Hi guys, today is definitely not a good day for us. Especially to our on-process Suchwein Merry wine. One of the balloon popped and all the air burst out. Seriously it was a nightmare for us, what we all fear from yesterday came true :( . We felt so hopeless for the moment, but of course when you fell, you have to pick yourself up again. We immediately think out of a way to get out of this messed. We take another balloon, straight away we attached it to the bottle mouth. All we got to do was hoping for miracle to happen. Because Mr. Steven once told us that oxygen is good for our health but definitely not good for out wine. That is why we fear that the balloon will not grow anymore.

This was taken in 12.30 pm

Alright guys here we are yay. We waited for a few hours and look. The balloon started to grow, oh how glad we are. And so the fermentation process goes on. Let's hope that this two balloon could still last for another 10 days.

That's it from us. We will be coming back tomorrow. Brought to you by BH12 G2 (Sheirwein, Mellisa, Suliandi, Chelsea, and Jerry)

October 13, 2015

Hi we are back to give you the updates of our wine hahaha. Nothing much actually, and yet still the wine is still fermentating, but there is actually a slight problem here because one of the baloons is smaller that the other. We are starting to get worried, wondering if the fermentation could go well or not hahaha. But we hope that nothing will happen. And here it is the update of the picture.

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 3

Day 3
October 12, 2015

Yet we come to another day, where our wine is still fermentating but we found out something different from today's wine. The balloon grow slightly i guess that means that all of our hard work paid off. Well we actually did something different today. Hmm, not too special though, all we did was slightly wipe the whole bottle to make sure it is clean. And then we change the cloth under the botte with a new one to make sure that no insects will creep near the on-going wine.

So here it is, the latest picture of our wine:

The balloon grew slightly bigger and let's just hope that it will not popped by two weeks time :)

So I guess that's it for today, i will keep on updating our Suchwein Merry wine condition every single day, have a nice day peeps.

Suchwein Merry Wine Day 1 - Preparation The Wine

Suchwein Merry Wine

Day 1

October 10, 2015

Funnel

The first day where we start to make our own wine. First we prepare all of the materials that we needed, such as: 1.5 kg of red grape, 2 pill of grape yeast, 2 empty bottle, 2 balloon, a knife, a plastic funnel, and a tea strainer.

Red Grape

Grape Yeast

Balloon

Knife

Strainer

Empty Bottles

Then, first we clean up the empty bottle, sanitize it, making sure that it is fully cleaned and safe to use. Next, we cut the grapes into halves, to ensure that the grapes will be exposed to the yeast. Of course before we cut the grapes, we have washed the grapes. Then after that, we insert the grapes into the bottle. Some of the grapes we removed the seeds, and some we leave it inside the fruit. In the same time, mashed the two grape yeast pill until it is in a powder form. (We used two pill because one pill is to small and not enough for 1.5 kg). Soon after that, we poured the yeast powder into the bottle, and then we lightly shake the bottle to let the yeast mix with the grapes. Lastly, we enclose the bottle with a balloon. We store the wine in a cool place away from the sunlight for 1 up to 2 weeks to make sure that the fermentation takes place well.

The following is the images of how you do the procedure:

1. Washing the Grape

2. Cut into half

3. Insert into the bottle

4. Mashing the pill of yeast into powder form

5. Inserting the yeast to the bottle of grapes

6. Shake lightly to spread the yeast

7. Put on balloons and let it fermented.

That's it for today, brought to you by BH 12 Group 2, Sheirwein Kwoklius, Suliandi Husni, Jerry Sudar, Chelsea Hilary Wijaya, and Mellisa Ataliel.
