Most hobby distillers do not mill themselves unless they are extremely advanced and doing an all-grain rečipe. Although not exactly milling, the grapes are crushed and destemmed at this stage. MILL Mashing is when you combine your milled grain with water and heat it to activate the enzymes to chop up starch into a short-chain sugar (wort). Not a part of wine-making. Like milling, most hobby distílers do not mash themselves unless they are extremely advanced and doing an all-grain. MASH This separates the wort (sugars) from the grain and dilutes the alcohol content depending on your recipe. Not a part of distilling alcohol. Lautering dilutes the sugar and lowers the % alcohol. Not a part of wine-making. LAUTER This step is for sterilizing the wort Not a part of distilling alcohol. Not a part of wine-making. BOIL (malt extracts) and where you add hops to get the different characters you want. Add yeast to the crushed grapes and then fermentation begins.

Not a part of distilling alcohol. After aging, the wine is cleared and filtered. FILTER Bottling includes adding a bit of sugar and letting it ferment for about a week to make the beer fizzy. Home wine- makers may add a Campden tablet when bottling to protect it from bacteria that could turn the wine into vinegar. Not a part of wine-making. Not a part of distilling alcohol.
