The use of this syrup has been discussed many times here I am sure you will have an answer soon.
Agreed and would be interested to see the results. Have had some good results with the cider and the missus squirted ( dribbled ) some on her ice cream last night but in wine I think there is mileage here. It has been a long time now since I went 1 gal dj style in favour of 30 gal efforts but I may even have a go myself providing I can get to the Polish shop again.Good point looks like alexbrown may be the forum guinea pig.:nod:
Hi there! I've recently got some of the lowicz syrup with the intention of making a wine. I was just gonna use a litre of grape juice, a bottle of the syrup and 800 g of sugar and topping up with water for 5 litres. As you're already acquainted with this syrup, may I ask you whether this will work or I will need to use more juice.
I should admit, I'm pretty new to wine making, but incredibly passionate about it.
.......... hope these are more alcoholic than my last efforts as only used sugar from fruit nothing added, but nice for hot summer evenings.
I have found the perfect red grape juice, it’s don Simon, 1.75 litre £2.80 from Asda it’s lovely dark. Red and sweet.
No idea what it will turn out like!
We used to get the Don Simon RGJ in a 2 litre carton from ASDA its the best RGJ we have used very dark with a very strong taste, it looks like they have moved to 1.75 litre cartons i may have to pick a couple up next time i am in Barrow.
It'll be fine, I have never made one we haven't finished and that includes the original Wurzels Orange Wine which was pretty awful but we finished every bottle.:nod:
May I be permitted to hope that the price also dropped by 12.5%?
Going to try putting this on tonight, I adapted someone else's recipe for a cheep white wine (because Asda has stopped doing white grape by me);
Brew - Cheap Apple 5 Gallon Wine (ASDA)
Cost Estimate - £2.75, £6, £3.20 = £11.95
Ingredients - 5 litres of apple juice (Asda Smart Price), 6 litres of Pressed Apple and Pear Juice, 5kg of sugar, 5 tsp yeast nutrient, 5 tsp citric acid, 1 sachet of Super Yeast. Add water to total 25L
Notes - I work out the sugar at 248g/L which according to "http://www.musther.net/vinocalc.html" 12.9% potential abv. I'm going to clear with bentonite once it's finished fermentation.
