Favourite flavours for fruit juice wine
« on: January 12, 2013, 18:23 »
Seem to always have a demijohn either bubbling away or clearing these days, but have sort of settled on the exotic juice mixes as my favourites.

Got Del Monte mango and papaya and Waitrose exotic fruit juice on the go at the moment.  Anyone discovered any other really good ones  :)

Everything here is tasting a bit wrong at the moment. Im not sure what I'm doing wrong though.

I've got an older DJ of waitrose merlot RGJ and cranberry/pomegranate - takes a while to settle down but has a good clean taste if a bit light, be about ready for the summer if you put it on now  :D

I've got loads of unused juice under the stairs - Im considering pouring anything unlumpy into the FB and setting it off.

No, but I keep looking at the exotic juice selection in the World Food aisle at Trashco and wondering how they would come out, so shouldn't be long  ;)  I'll let you know.  Fresh lychees are one of my favourite treats so lychee wine does appeal to me :D

Yeast gone a bit off  :unsure:  Must be something you are using on every batch.

Pomegranate is my other fave exotic fruit, so may nick your idea there  :D

Lychee wine sounds rather interesting!  I don't recall ever seeing lychee juice in the isles though but I suppose I've never looked for it.  Can you pick it up in trashco?

I've only made strong turbo ciders with AJ so far but open to any suggestions for future trials.  Would Lychee need any extra additives for fermentation or just the normal vitamin?
Add me on PSN but nowadays I reach for the fork or hoe more than a controller

I stick to the product of the hedgerows, elderberry is my favourite followed closely by bramble and damson.   I've had a bit of luck with veggie wines - but not often!

Cheers,   Tony.
