Making a Sparkling Wine at Home

Force Carbonation is a common method used to make sparkling wines and sparkling ciders. In this video, we are force carbonating a concord wine to turn it into a sparkling wine using a small keg. You can easily carbonate a wine at home with this method, and it is much more reliable than bottle fermentation.

When do you switch the CO2 to the “in” from the “out”?

Looking forward to seeing how you bottle sparkling wine.

Hi sir, how long can you keep your wine after being carbinated.

[ragazzoitaliano]

I have a 5 gallons kit. Would would you reccomend for CO2 pressure at room temperature?

[mjanke]

So you mention you would only use the Out fitting temporarily, but from what i see you never use the In fitting for the rest of the video. Ive never filled a keg so I am very confused at this point. Any clarification is appreciated.

Curious if you’ve ever tried a more natural carb inside the keg. Was thinking you could use a spunding valve and let it age on the yeast for a year or so for a more bready flavor.

Hope you are still answering comments here!

What do you think the resulting atmospheres of pressure in your wine at the end of this process?

I am currently using a hand carbonation method which is a much faster process but much smaller volumes. I want to scale up, but my products are super fizzy as we carbonate 1.5L at a time at 43psi six times over a 2 hour period as close to 0c as possible.

If I were to carbonate in a cool cellar (13 psi for a week, 19Ls) do you feel I would get a similar result?

How many gallons is the kegging kit you are using?

Can sameone please help me to find a good dry red wine resepi I will appreciate it really thanks

[ladyangel]

Excellent video. I was making a mess using Sodastream to carbonate my wine. Lol

3 videos on making sparkling wine, all different. This guy seemed to have the most professional method.

Really liking your videos.
I’m stuck at a point where by wine is carbonated and if i let all of the gas out and pour it out of the keg it is perfect. Whiles if I dispense it from the keg it is flat.
I feel like I have tried everything.
Descending at high and low pressure, different size and length hoses, pressure set taps. Nothing seems to work.
Do you have any advise?

i just want some sparkling wine, not going to mars.

Thanks a lot.... another great video. Sorry, stupid question.... and I really know nothing about kegs. Why are you putting the gas bottle in the fridge connected to the keg? Second: Do you you need to keep your gas bottle connected to the keg every time you are serving wine for me the keg or the pressure that you created innitialy will suffice to empty the keg? Third question: you mentioned on your web site that it is possible to use kegs for traditional method i.e. in-keg-secondary-fermentation prise de So have you ever done it? How was your experience? How did you go about the lees, the one that goes to the bottle neck in traditional methode? I would appreciate your thoughts on it. Thanks

How would you national carbonate your wine do you have a video on this

[yonilebovich]

Hello, I make and have made a lot of wine at home, both from grapes and fruits, on a regular basis the wine comes out to me with a higher level of bitterness than I would like, I would love to get a recommendation. Thanks in advance, N, B enjoyed your videos.

[andriyzezyulin]

Thanks for getting me into kegging. I need your advice though.... my sparkling wine is not really sparkling rather foamy. I get a lot of foam in my glass and too few bubbles if any. I carbonized at 30 PSI and serve at 12. Yet still I get nothing by foam. And when it settles no bubbles. What did I do wrong?

[uriel-o]

Have you tried to bottle this kind of wine in a regular wine bottle with synthetic corks?

[Kberrysal]

Could you natural carbonation the wine in the keg
