Any one who has ever made wine can probably tell you the home wine making step by step instructions, because there isn't much to it. In fact, the only really hard part of making wine is the waiting. A typical bottle of wine is going to take at least two months before you can bottle it, but will taste better with even more aging in the carboy or in oak barrels. Here are the basic home wine making step by step instructions, so you can see how easy it is to make wine.

Step One: Gather your ingredients. When you are making your first batch, remember the phrase “simple works”. You don't need to pick your own grapes and crush them by foot. You can use grape concentrates or get a kit that has everything that you need for a standard 6 gallon batch of wine. You won't have to measure anything out, check if the fruit is ripe or spend time removing peels and stems from the wine.

Step Two: Clean it up. Any time you use your equipment, you are going to want to make sure that it is clean and sterile. There are special products that you can use to make sure that there is no bacteria in your fermenter.

Step Three: Make the wine. Get your detailed instructions out, make sure you have everything that you need and understand all of the instructions, and then get going. Making the wine doesn't take that long, but make sure that you don't rush the process.

Step Four: Wait. Waiting until the first fermentation is over isn't that difficult, because every day, you can see bubbles of air escaping from the airlock. It's an interesting process.

Step Five: Wait. When you are doing secondary fermentation and aging, you are going to have to wait even longer. While you are waiting, why not or borrow a couple of bottles of wines from your friends who are also wine makers telling them that you will give them a couple of your bottles in return.

This Home wine making step by step guide should show you that it is not difficult to make wine. What is difficult is waiting at least two months for your first taste of a batch of wine.
