Remove gases
You are required to remove gases from the jug. You can do this by removing the balloon from the top. Remember to repeat this process once a week. Continue removing gases on weekly bases for two to six months. Your wine will be ready after two months. However, the more time you repeat this process, the better and stronger its flavour gets.
