Hi guys.
This is my first post so a quick hello :thumb: I've only just started making wine and have got 3 gallons of elderflower in DJs nearly ready for second racking and have a gallon of redcurrant wine on Day 3 of initial fermentation. Hopefully, so far, so good. But I also have several batches of Sloe Port in kilner jars from last year ... or maybe the year before (originally made Sloe Gin then added the Sloes to red wine and have left them to it).
What I wondered was ... could I strain the Sloes and use them to make Sloe wine or is that just using them once too often? I don't like to throw anything away if I can make use of it and the thought of those extremely alcoholic little darlings made me just wonder ... lol. I've read ideas about coating in chocolate, etc., but much more interested in the feasibility of the wine option.
Many thanks for any advice/thoughts you might have.
