[JIMLITTLEDEVIL]

I Large bottle Ribena Bring to boil and simmer for 10 mins.

Cool to room temp.

Add heaped spoonful of super wine yeast or high alcohol yeast + a teaspoonful of nutrient. Half teaspoon of citric acid.

sprinkle on top and dont stir.

Wait 15 minuts then stir gently

Keep temp around 20 c and ferment for 6 days.

Then add 250g of sugar and continue to ferment until dry ( OG .990 0

After three weeks or so ... taste and if needed, add one Sacharin tablet per gallon

Clear and Filter. Add one camden tablet and leave for one month minimum.

Can be drunk straight away but much better if you give it time to mature.

I add 50ml Vodka per 75cl to mine and leave it for 6 months to a year ... tastes fantastic.

I assume you make up to the gallon with water before fermenting

LOL......

Yep, sorry, forgot to add that bit.

:drunk:

I was about to say that you could possibly run your car on that!

 

[Base]

What size bottle of Ribena?

 

[JIMLITTLEDEVIL]

The bigger the better. I use around a Litre when i make mine. I dont like weak coloured or thin tasting wine.

You will love this wine.

ps

Dont try to run your car on this stuff .... its more potent than petrol and may cause a little red smoke to come out of your exhaust pipe !!!

 

[user 2504]

I made Ribena wine once it was like alcoholic cough syrup. Will try by following this recipe, but I dont like sweet wine, is it sweet?

I fail to see how this can be classed as potent, there's 526g of sugar in a litre of Ribena, you're only adding 250g, if that's for a gallon your OG will only be 1.062 and if that ferments to 0.990 you've got just under 10% abv.


malcymalc, this shouldn't finish sweet.

Suggestion:

1 litre Red Grape Juice
1 litre Apple Juice
750g Sugar
Pectolase, mug of black tea, yeast & nutrient, method as Wurzel's Orange.

When fermentation has quietened down after a week to 10 days, add 250ml Ribena.
Boil it and cool it if you think that does anything to drive off the preservatives, I'm not convinced.

That volume as a late addition will give you a noticeable blackcurrant flavour without being too overpowering.

If using Strawberry Ribena you could probably go to around 400ml.

 

[joe roberts]

whart sort of juice would you use . from concentrate or just juice

 

[Moley]

The grape juices I use are usually Pure Pressed but the orange, apple etc. are usually from concentrate.

I've tried posh juices, they don't seem to make any better a finished product, they cost a lot more and your volume losses on racking are higher because more fruit pulp = more sediment.
