Mrs KC wants some wine.

[Kinleycat]

I'd love some simple white wine or even rose recipes that I can make simply and keep the Mrs sweet.
She likes all the standard white wine stuff, blossom hill etc so nothing too flash!
I've just made a TC so I'm hoping I can make something along those lines in beer making equipment.
I'm happy to make a big batch (20 litres) or two smaller ones (10litres) as we have amassed quite a few bottles.
Any help would be most welcome.

for a nice rose that all that have tried of mine have really liked i followed the wow recipe and used red grape juice and a carton of apple and blackcurrant both tesco brand juices. turns out very nice. also for a nice white use the standard wow recipe.

Thanks danb do you have a link to the recipe?

One of the most simple white wines to make is by using a litre of grapefruit juice from the supermarket. Made using a similar method to a WOW in my opinion is one of the finest home brewed white wines. Being juice based its quick to make and mature and gets better and better in the bottle ( there is little grapefruit taste when its matured, just a nice still white wine.
I use to make gallons of it and it became our staple concoction.

viewtopic.php?f=48&t=10179 thats the original how to mate you can follow that switching out the orange to any flavour you think of and either red or white grape juice. all the variations ive done turned out great.

For the volume your talking about, if you want it quick and don't mind it not being made from scratch you could always buy a kit, Young's brewbuddy wines are reasonable, cheap, quick to do and can be bought from tescos.

yep go for the WOW original and then try out some variants. I also liked my rose (RGJ+Apple) It was definately better than the supermarket rose i drank at the weekend :sick:

I always do 2 DJ's at a time (use 5L water bottles from ASDA if you don't have any DJs, I was told you can just drill an 8mm hole in lid for the airlock, you can use the water in the wine as well) By using 2 DJ's you get to split the yeast packet in two and reduce costs a little.
