My veg wine has changed a bit lol..Tasted it and well, not one of my best but it was a cheap version after all..

I decided to add a sliced banana and some raisons and  bit of sugar and more yeast to activate it again, hope its a bit better tasting in a few weeks

[Up2nogood]

Thought I would get this place a bit of a bump..

Bought a Belvino wine kit and it has dried fruit containing Raisons/Apple/Elderberries/Hawthorn Berries/Rose hips/blueberries and raspberries

 

20 Litres of lovely wine

 

4kl of sugar,yep 4kl

 

Should take a good 6 weeks but will try and leave it until Christmas or before,not decided yet lol

I did my first in april this yr

Ingredients ...
5kg sugar
50g bread yeast
Juice of 1 lemon
120g tomato paste
Dash of Epsom salts (just a pinch)

In a bucket for 3weeks and when clearish and stopped bubbling
Put it through the water distiller i bought on ebay £80
(wish id bought a proper still) but it turned out nice around 40/50%

just on with another too
This time iv added 7kg sugar
75g bread yeast
1 jar of honey lol ? Trying to get a kick in the taste
Will be ready next week

some nice info in here for my next experiment

[Up2nogood]

Any pics sweetsmoker? would like to see some as we all would

[Up2nogood]

oh and thats 40-50% proof not volumn but pretty strong lol at 20-25% volumn

[sweetsmoker]

Im unsure about the alcohol % really got no way to check except taste lol its stronger than a bottle of wine but less than a vodka (or just missing the kick) as 1 bottle lasts me 3 nights if i drink at all
My phones in car and cba to get it lol and the brew aint dun yet but
It just looks like a bottle of water nice and clear
Theres picks on tokers of my last ones with fruit added to bottles
And also on talk (cba to ask for it deleting)

[Up2nogood]

I made a lovely Cherry Brandy last year and it was nothing like Brandy but it was 20% volumn 40% proof but tasted really bit  too sweet for my liking,went down well with a mince pie though

Id love an absinth recipe cant buy it anywhere no more
