Recipes for potato or carrot wine
Does anyone have a recipe for potato or carrot wine that DOESNT involve adding grape juice concentrate? All the ones I have do and I think it kind of defeats the object!
Thanks in advance!
Hey simon,
2kg carrots
4ltr water
3 oranges
250g raisins
wine yeast
1.25 kg sugar
cut boil carrots in the water, thinly pair the oranges mix with washed raisins. put all ion fermentation bin. cover leave to cool.
express and strain the orange juice mix with activated yeast. Ferment on the pulp foot 5 days then strain out, press dry and discard teh pulp. stir in the sugar, pour the must into a demijohn, fit an airlock and ferment to a finish.
rack and store for a year. Then bottle and sweeten if necessary.

simon,
Pure apple juice (1 liter)
OR
Pure grapefruit juice (1 liter)
Sultanas(113g)
Granulated sugar (974g)
Yeast extract/Marmite/pure malt extract 1/4 teaspoon
All purpose wine yeast (1 sachet)
Water
Rinse and chop sultanas, Warm 1/2 liter water in a large saucepan and stir in sugar and yeast/malt extract, once dissolved allow to cool (very sticky!) I use a sterilized demi-john from the word go, when sugar water is cool pour into demi-john, add sultanas and carton of orange juice. Prepare yeast as per instructions on sachet and add to the demi-john. Then make up the demijohn up to 4 litres and put airlock in. Leave in a warm place for 10 days, stirring twice during the day. After 10 days syphon wine off the sediment into a sterile demijohn, top up with cold water. Put somewhere that stays around 18 degrees and leave for 4-5 weeks- keep an eye on it, when the airlock stops popping wait for 2 more weeks to make sure fermentation has stopped. Sypon off from the sediment once more and put somewhere cool to clear, once clear bottle.
ready to drink in 12 weeks! but best after 11 months so make sure you hide some for xmas!
Enjoy!!!
