wisdom Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yes done it and it's quite easy but took a while to clear.Have a look online for the best recipe. Mine was from an old book but I don't know where it is. There is an excellent UK forum also.That has recipes on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods&wurz Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Easy to make if you've got the equipment already. I made some last year with some reduced one's from the the local supermarket. It's like rocket fuel! http://www.wine-making-guides.com/strawberry_wine.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Very nice to drink chilled on a hot summer day. Needs some clarification tablets and fine filters to clear. Might make some elderberry this autumn prefer the bolder darker red after the summer and easy to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam triple Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Tried it this afternoon and I got to say it was rank ,got an after burn but what flavour it did have soon disappeared into something acidic, maybe it should have been left for longer , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I leave most homebrew wine 18 months. Strawberry should be fortified. Rather have them with cream and sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
