This is an adaptation of a recipe by B.C.A. Turner.

It is a very simple and cheap recipe but I was sufficiently impressed with the end result that I would like to share it with you all.


1 litre carton Del Monte 100% pure orange juice.
1 litre carton Tesco’s pure pressed white grape juice.
1½ lb sugar.
1 tsp nutrient
G.P. yeast
½ tsp tannin
1 tsp Pectic Enzyme
1 tsp glycerine
Water to 1 gallon

Desolve sugar in a pint or so of boiling water.

Stir all the ingredients into 1½ pints cold water till well mixed and aerated.

Top up to 1 gallon, check initial S.G. which should be about 1.090 and adjust if necessary.

Ferment as usual under air lock. Rack at 1.000 (or ferment to dry and back sweeten) and add 1 crushed Campden tablet plus potassium sorbate.

Clear as per usual and bottle, the wine is ready for immediate consumption but will improve with time.

Serve this medium dry wine slightly chilled. It has a pleasant fruity nose, an attractive orange tint and good mouth feel thanks to the added glycerine.

Enjoy Wink

Cheers, only bit I'm not too sure about, how do you clear as normal. I've only made 1 batch of wine and it had all the ingredients in with it.

Thanks

I think it means rack the wine to remove sediment.

I've made this using aldi orange and its git cloudy. Don't know if that's something to do with the juice i used though
 
Aye used 3 litres of apple and 1 litre of cranberry and raspberry 150g of sugar and i have another apple to top up once the gooey foam has been and gone.

i hope i am doing it right like.

Sounds ok to me. I'm gonna add malic acid and tannin to my next TC to see if its better.

I said i was going to just make a normal apple cider to see if it turn out ok and then start to play around with it, i currently have 1 cranberry and one blueberry. so if it doesn't work its only my own fault.

Write down everything you do mate, juices used, sugar added, type of yeast etc... You might unearth a gem and forget how you made it! :lol:

Is that in case you invent a Flaming Moe.

Salad I think you should start experimenting with cough medicine and the like. See if you can better the Simpsons.
