I believe now that this is more nutrients than necessary.
I have made other beverages before but never a fruit wine!
Hi yall, this is my backup account to my backup account.
If you post a comment here I might not see it for a while because my other accounts instance seems to be having trouble. I am almost tempted just to host my own lemmy server at this point!
Yay it’s back!
Let us know how it goes! I have plans to make some myself!
It’s drinkable right now but not perfect. Probably needs some aging. I was brewing in non-ideal conditions with large temperature fluctuations and sunlight because it was outside. I would also consider using a yeast designed for fruit wines or red wines. Mangrove Jacks have a couple yeasts for fruit wines you could try. I can say that it is very cheap to experiment with! Each jar costs only £1.15 (about $1.50 for the Americans) from Morrison’s supermarket which is common all over England.

Here people add jams and pickled fruit in destilates (“moonshines”). I never heard of wines, ciders from it.

I checked before I did it online and found people had done it before and got a drinkable product from it.
Have a look at this: homebrewacademy.com/jam-wine-recipe/

It is regional thing, most people distil here (pay fee and have it legally distilled). So when you have old jams and pickled fruit from last year you add it in fermenter.
