I've made some wonderful mulberry wine with Ill. Everbearing, and then some not so hot. I think it has to do with good sanitation, sterilizing things. I don't like using Campden tablets as some people are allergic to sulfites or sulfides (I dn't know which) and a friend told my hydrogen peroxide sprayed on tools, jugs etc. does the job. hector black zone 6 middle tn

I made mulberry wine once. I don't know much about making wine. But I had a
lot of mulberries. It was alcoholic and dry. Kind of flat and bland. Needed
some acid or tannins. Mulberries are kind of sweet and bland, and when all
the sugar turns to alcohol, guess what's left?

My Illinois Everbearing mulberry tree is young and it has provided small
amounts of fruit over a long season.The birds usually take most of them.

This year, it is abundantly productive and I am able to gather small
amounts (about 2 cups) of fruit a day.

I am thinking of making wine. I gather the fruit daily, wash and freeze
it to collect enough to try.

2 questions for the list:

1) I am spending a lot of time clipping off stems. Is that necessary?
Will it really degrade the flavor of the wine to leave them on?

2) Does anyone have experience with making mulberry wine? Good or bad
experiences? A favorite recipe or yeast?
