This is one I make and it turns out great every time.

25lt
5lt WGJ
5lt Apple & Mango
4kg Granulated sugar - I bring to the boil with 3 tsp Lemon juice so it partially converts and disolves
100g Sultanas (Chopped) I put in with the sugar while it boils.
5 tsp Glycerine
2.5 tsp Tannin - I add to the sugar and mix prior to adding water so it doesn't clump
3 tsp Tartaric acid
3 tsp Pectolase
Yeast - Youngs Bordeaux Red
SG - 1.080 FG .990 ABV = 12%ish

Turns out as a very nice golden white which is great chilled.
I have never tried just WGJ & Mango as the mango even in this recipe is quite a strong flavour.

Nice recipe there thanks ...

im sure it is due to me being a novice, but could you substitute the 5l apple&mango juice for fresh mango (im sure u can) however to what ratio??? would fruit weighing around 2 or maybe 3kg be enough for a demijohn full?

 

[bobsbeer]

To be honest I don't know. If you are only making 5lt rather than 25lt as per my recipe you would need only 1lt mango juice along with 1 lt WGJ. But mango is a very strong taste and will carry through into the wine in a big way. I have made my recipe and added a tin of mango pulp along with the juice and that was good as well.

For 1 gallon (5 litres)

6 Mangoes (I used Alphonso Mangoes, mild mango flavour and very sweet)
220g White Grape Concentrate
500g sugar
1 1/2 tsp pectolase
1 campden tablet (crushed)
water to top
General Purpose Yeast (Youngs)

peal and Mash mangoes and add to a bucket (including mango stones), cover with water and add pectolase and campden

After a week, sieve contents of the bucket into a DJ, add sugar and Grape Concentrate, top up to the shoulder with water and add yeast

Once fermentation has calmed down top up the DJ to the neck.

Rack after 2 months

Bottle 3 months after that

Ready to drink after a further 2 months although will improve more given time.

:hat: thanks again :hat:

I've made a WOW but instead of orange juice I used a apple and mango juice. Can't comment on the final flavour of the wine but after an initial test after I racked it, it does taste rather promising.

Just a slight correction, it was from memory, but just looking back on my notes the directions have been updated below

For 1 gallon (5 litres)

6 Mangoes (I used Alphonso Mangoes, mild mango flavour and very sweet)
220g White Grape Concentrate
500g sugar
1 1/2 tsp pectolase
1 campden tablet (crushed)
water to top
General Purpose Yeast (Youngs)

peel and Mash mangoes and add to a bucket (including mango stones), cover with water and add pectolase and campden

24 hours later, add yeast

After a week, sieve contents of the bucket into a DJ, add sugar and Grape Concentrate, top up to the shoulder with water

Once fermentation has calmed down top up the DJ to the neck.

Rack after 2 months

Bottle 3 months after that

Ready to drink after a further 2 months although will improve more given time.

Will be making the 25L recipe posted above next weekend

 

[Belter]

How much yeast do I need for a 25l batch

 

[Duncs]

How much yeast do I need for a 25l batch

I'd go for 2tsp or an 11g sachet

 

[sailaice]

Why is the grape juice concentrate and not from concentrate?

 

[sailaice]

Also, Why do we need to stand it for a week in a bucket could we not just put it all in the DJ to start with?

Just wondering :drunk:

 

[Duncs]

I use this grape juice concentrate, grape juice from concentrate from the supermarket is not from grapes used for wine

You leave it in a bucket with the pulp of the mango, if it's in a DJ the pulp is hard to get out

 

[sailaice]

Ahhhh I seeeeee!!

Thank you. I rang an indian grocer from the town next to me this morning and they have Alphonso Mangoes in

Soooo I am off there this weekend to get some and the start a Mango wine and a Mango cider

:drunk:
