holly Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 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. orange wine . heres a cheap drinkable wine recipe,to make red swap white grape juice for red . .

Magus69 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Wine you will need to de-gas before bottling, once the wine has stopped fermenting and has cleared you need to rack it off into a sterilised bucket or similar and stir like **** to remove any remaining co2.
