Strawberry Wine

By Brewmaster on June 4, 2010 9:52 PM | No TrackBacks

Mid-April, strawberries went on sale for a dollar a pound. So with six dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I decided to part with them in exchange for a dry wine with a perfectly distinct strawberry character.

     Strawberry Wine

 

6 Pounds Strawberries

15 Cups Dextrose

2 ½ Gallons Water

 

Boil up just like strawberry jam. Cool it, pitch a little Lalvin K1-V1116 and you are all set. 1.050 OG (Original Gravity). After ten days I re-racked. After two weeks I added a little gelatin, let is settle for a week and bottled.


And for all you New Zealanders out there it makes a great Eau De Vie.
