hey home brewers,
So I decided to make another kit wine that you can do for £11 including all the equipment that makes a gallon.
I am aiming to make a Shiraz wine only using store brought grape juice. ( 7 litres in total) although I had cheeky taste of the must and at the minute it's more like a Merlot, lets see how it turns out before passing judgement. :)
I have employed a heating method to concentrate 3 litres of grape juice down to 1 so that the end result is a 5 litre batch of deep red grape juice. it's best not to boil on a high heat but to very lightly simmer it down as we do not want to burn any of the sugars or harm the flavors too much.
I used 20 peppercorns to hopefully add a mellow peppery/ spicy after taste that you get with a Shiraz wine. ( tasting will see if it worked or made pepper grape )
I used all purpose red wine yeast as it will aid in getting the fruity notes that a good red wine has, you can always change the yeast to get a different result.
hope you enjoy and lets see how this turns out!.
