Soup is pretty good :) or in a casserole....  :unsure:

I think there are some flavours that might not make a good wine. Not too many, but that might be one.....

Are you doing an all grain brew or a kit|??
 I like to experiment but......! Can only think you'd boil the J.A.'s up for half hour and add the liquid to your brew. Cheers Tony.

I have a recipe for a wine from JA's (I intend to try this one myself this year) which I can post if you like?

Thanks SnooziSuzi that would be really helpful.
Thedadtony - sorry don't which one yet, which would you suggest? Money at the mo is very tight with OH losing his job last week, so we are looking to make use of everything that the allotment has produced so far (which isn't a lot, except for JA's)

I'd go for a cheap bitter kit, I.ve heard those Simply ones at Wilko's are quite good!cheers Tony.
