Made in a 5L demijohn.

Ingredients:

  • 3x Seedless Raspberry Jam 420g
  • Lalvin EC-1118 yeast
  • Pectinase enzyme
  • Fermaid-O 10g

I believe now that this is more nutrients than necessary.

I have made other beverages before but never a fruit wine!

      It’s drinkable right now but not perfect. Probably needs some aging. I was brewing in non-ideal conditions with large temperature fluctuations and sunlight because it was outside. I would also consider using a yeast designed for fruit wines or red wines. Mangrove Jacks have a couple yeasts for fruit wines you could try. I can say that it is very cheap to experiment with! Each jar costs only £1.15 (about $1.50 for the Americans) from Morrison’s supermarket which is common all over England.

    Hi yall, this is my backup account to my backup account.

    If you post a comment here I might not see it for a while because my other accounts instance seems to be having trouble. I am almost tempted just to host my own lemmy server at this point!

    Here people add jams and pickled fruit in destilates (“moonshines”). I never heard of wines, ciders from it.
