Here's a simple basic guide for using fresh fruit to make wine. This isn't a set in stone guide. Meaning the more fruit you use the more flavor. There technically isn't a limit to the amount of fruit, so use this more as a range of minimums. Something else to remember, this is if you are using water. Using pure juice is ideal, but not always possible.

To juice your own fruit easily get a 5 gallon food grade bucket drill holes around the side near the bottom. Cut the lid so it can fit all the way to the bottom. Place fruit in the bucket, place cut lid on top, then either place bricks or use a vice to press the juice from the fruit.

*pro tip: freeze the fruit before either juicing or placing in water. It breaks the cellular structure and allows easier juice extraction.

**pro tip: buy a couple mesh paint straining bags from Lowes. They are cheap and make an excellent filter to make pulp cleansing easier.

I remove seeds from all fruit when possible. Several varieties of fruit have cyanide out other undesirables in them. Not to mention seeds and green parts, such as leaves, tend to throw flavors off.
