Bramble Wine Ideas

[Joelcsharp]

Morning Gents,

I've just come to the knowledge of a ridiculous mass of Brambles down a back lane. Thus far taken about 2kg worth but could keep going for loads more.

Any suggestions on a Bramble Wine Recipe? I've seen a couple with ginger in also, not sure what flavours work best.

And as a newbie and someone who has only done kits so far, what differs majorly.

Apologies for ignorance,

Joel.

Blackberries lend themselves to the more full bodied desert sort of wines. Loaded with fruit and high ABV.

Best to mix them with something I think, but many use them on their own.

Last weekend I did 6.5kg blackberries with 6 litres of red grape juice and 3.5kg of sugar. This made 15 litres

Today I did 3kg blackberries, 2.5kg elderberries, 4 litres of apple juice and 4kg sugar. Once again 15 litres.

You are in for the long haul however. 18 months - 2 years before they are ready.
