Brewday: Ginger Wine (part 1)

I have made this wine with this recipe before and it was very good, we are down to our last bottle of Ginger wine so today I have made up another batch.

Ingredients:

  • 125g Root Ginger
  • 3 Lemons
  • 450g (hot washed) Raisins
  • 1/4 tsp of chilli flakes
  • 1.4 kg Demerara sugar
  • Yeast & nutrient
  • Campden tablet
  • Boiling water.

Method (Part 1)

  1. Wash and chop up the raisins (Food processor) and add to the fermentation bucket.
  2. Thinly peel the lemons and add the peel and the juice to the bucket.
  3. Smash the ginger up (bruise) in a couple of plastic sandwich bags and add to the bucket.
  4. Add 1/4 tsp of chilli flakes to the bucket.(optional)
  5. Top up to the 5 liter mark with boiling water and leave to stand for 24 hours
Tomorrow I'll add the yeast and yeast nutrient, but I'll blog more on this tomorrow.
