Beetroot Wine

[MyQul]

Was just playing with the idea of beetroot stout. :lol:

Bet you thought for a second, "Hmmm... wonder if a tomato stout would work?"... pffft :rofl:

I'm sure your not the first and wont be the last to be dreaming up such abominations. Seriously though, how would you even get vegatables into a beer? Do they need some sort of preperation like boiling? My GH book say for herbs, flowers,fruit and spices, either add near the end of the boil or after about 4 days into fermentation. How to you wine perv's make vegatable wines?

It was a brave man/woman who took that first sip of brussel sprout IPA :lol:

If anything is going to put you off homebrewing for good is going to be sprout wine :sick: (there's a reason why the 'sick' smiley looks like a brussel sprout :lol:)

Be interesting to hear how you get on. I've never done a veg juice wine.

I've got old WI recipes for all sorts of veg wine recipes. I've just never thought about it as I kinda think, why waste time on that when you could be doing something you know you like. Guess I should start getting more adventurous!!

I'd be very interested in your WI recipes - those gals know their stuff.

What would you like me to do with the body Count Dracuuula Sir?

That is one nasty looking DJ, i hate tomatoes so there is no chance i will ever try it.

I know I will try it one day, tomatoes are easy enough to find. :)

What? You mean you don't like Turnip IPA and Parsnip Pilsner? You haven't lived man. And - before I forget, Spud Stout has body like you never dreamed of in your worst nightmare.

But haven't you noticed how sprouts look a bit like hops?


TESCO Sprouts

HOPS

Sprouts are loads cheaper. I was thinking of drying some out and giving them a try in my next APA.

Funny you should say that I have been on the list for almost three years now :)

Anyone considering beetroot wine, Aldi is doing 500g packs of cooked beetroot for 29p! And btw, I found out you can freeze them and they are ok when thawed.

I'm pretty sure I saw in CJJ Berry's 'First steps in winemaking' somewhere that he said the best thing for tomatoes was tomato juice, I looked but I can't find it so maybe it's the advancing years again!

The recipe I used required raw beetroot as it is the juice from cooking the beetroot that you use for the wine so cooked beetroot would not be of use - well not the for the recipes I have seen.
