Wine making

[Rentachimp]

It's that time of year again!

 

oak leaf wine and gorse flower wine are first on my list

 

Any other cottage producers on the buzz?

I've done oak leaf before, which came out a treat. The recipe I used called for lemons and limes to be put in, amongst other things. Later on in the season, I used to do sloe wine, which was also a winner. You had to leave the sloes in a gallon of water for months, until this thick skin of mould had formed, then you peeled that off, strained it and carried on as usual with yeast and sugar. Not very appetising to start with, but it tasted great eventually, and got better the longer you left it.
