We do beer kits (mostly the £25ish ones although right now I'm drinking Geordie with enhancer) & wine kits, as well as the lovely Orange Juice Wine (have 10gal of that in fvs at the mo!). Being able to get drunk for under £1 makes it taste even better.
Ollie can you pass on the orange juice wine recipie please ?
Sorry, only just noticed this post. I got it from another forum but have been playing around with it enough to feel that I have my own version. If you google "Wurzel's Orange Wine" you will find the original which he got from someone else and tweaked... Here's mine:
For 5 gal:
5 litres Orange Juice (from concentrate stuff works but I normally use whatever fresh stuff without bits is on offer).
5 litres pressed grape juice (I use the red stuff and end up with a Rose).
7½ lb sugar
5 tsp nutrient
G.P. yeast
2 1/2 tsp tannin
1 tsp Pectic Enzyme
5 tsp glycerine
Water to 5 gallon
Dissolve sugar in a few pints of boiling water.
Add the juice and then stir in the rest of the ingredients (I thoroughly mix each ingredient with a half pint of juice or cold water to make sure it dissolves).
Top up to 5 gallon, check initial S.G. which should be about 1.085.
Make sure it's the right temp for your yeast & dry pitch it.
Ferment to dry (I get down to 0.990) - rack when stopped and clear however you like to do it - I use that clay stuff and bottle between 5 and 10 days after racking. By doing it this way I then leave out the K Sorbate and the Campden tablets. Takes about 4 weeks from beginning to drinking. Serve chilled!
