Just got two gallons of this on - below is my recipe and method and hopefully some pics!! :)
PLUM AND GINGER WINE - 2 gallons.
3KG Plums
80grams fresh ginger
250 ml red grape concentrate
1.6kg sugar
Juice of one lemon
1 cup tea
3 tsp pectolase
2 tsp Yeast nutrient
2 tsp youngs wine yeast
First i chopped all the plums into quarters and removed the stones - i put them into a large pan with the finely
grated ginger and poured about 3 litres of boiling water over them, losely covered and left them for approx 24
hours - giving them a good stir from time to time.
Next day i strained the juice through some muslin cloth and added some cold water to the plums to rinse the
rest of the juice through. I then dissolved the sugar in about 1 litre of boiling water and allowed it to cool.
When cool i added it to the plum juice along with the red grape concentrate, tea, lemon juice, pectalose,
yeast and nutrient.
Put it into two DJ`s and put airlocks on - was bubbling within 30mins and by next morning going like mad!!
