Asda had a 5 for £4 deal on their chilled juices so it seemed rude not to partake.

I did; 2 litre pineapple + 1litre white grape
2 litre Cherry + 1 litre white grape
2 litre Forest fruits + 1 litre white grape

All made up with 600g sugar and made up to about 4 litres which gave an SG of 1.095 which is about right if you adjust it to 4.5 litres. I will top them up in a day or two.

Each had half a teaspoon of; pectalase, citric acid, nutrient. a teaspoon of glycerine and richies wine yeast and a cup of tea.

Best one so far is for a rosé:

1.5 litre of red grape

1 litre of apple juice

750g sugar in a gallon brew.

It was *just* short of flavour though and I added a dash of strawberry Ribena when serving. I may add a teaspoon of acid if it needs it.
I'd like to modify that recipe slightly because I've finalised it.
1 litre red grape
1 litre apple
500ml of another red juice e.g. strawberry, cherry, cranberry, fruits of the forest etc
750g sugar
Water to 1 gallon

Brew out, but add to each 750ml bottle 2 tsp white sugar and 0.5 tsp malic acid. This really improves it. Either stabilise it or store it in the fridge once sweetened, otherwise it will continue to ferment.
 
my variant just started today follows the original recipe but with 2 liters of rubicon lychee juice... i figure its really nice juice so it should be pretty tasty wine... :)

2 liters rubicon lychee juice
around 800g Sugar
1 tsp Pectolase
1 tsp Tannin
1 tsp Glycerine
1 tsb Youngs Super wine Yeast
1 tsb Youngs yeast nutrient

cant wait to see how it turns out!

Hi Folks,

I bottled a batch of beer yesterday and seeing as I had all the sterilising stuff out thought I steriles a DJ to make some WOW today. I thought I'd try something new, I usually make Rose.

How does this sound.

2 x 1l apple juice
1l WGJ
900 sugar
Water to 1gallon

Usual additives.
 
Robbo posted.

5 Litres of Blueberry Juice
10 litres of Red Grape Juice
2.5 kg sugar
5 teaspoons of citric acid
5 teaspoons of yeast nutrient
1 sachet of Lavlin K1V-1116

I have done this wine before and I fermented it to dry, but I preferred it to be back sweetened to taste.

This is a cheap 5 gallon wine

5 litres of apple juice (Asda Smart Price 68p for 1.5 litres)
5 litres of Pressed White Grape (Asda £1.00 per litre)
3.5kg of sugar (Tescos sell 5kg bags for £3.99)
5 tsp yeast nutrient
5 tsp citric acid
1 sachet of Lavlin K1V-1116

This wine can be fermented dry or back sweetened to taste
 
Nice Wine

1ltr WGJ
1ltr Orange and Pineapple
1/2 ltr grapefruit
700g sugar

Usual suspects - double up to make 2 gallons to use the extra grapefruit

CL23 Yeast - It is a little sharp, but thats how I like it! And of course mellows with age :cheers:
 
for a 25ltr batch

7 ltr WGJ
3 ltr apple juice
2 ltr pineapple juice
1 ltr grapefruit
1 ltr passion fruit

sugar equivalent to 1050g per 5 ltr taking into account the juice sugar, you do the maths!!!
Usual suspects
Gervin all purpose yeast :cheers:
 
sugar for the above recipe (25ltr) will be 5250g or 5.25kg :thumb:
 
I am two days into my next experiment -

1 litre Tesco Pure Exotic Juice

1 litre WGJ

700g sugar

Half a cup of black tea

1 tsp Pectolase

1 tsp Nutrient

1 tsp Youngs super wine yeast.

1 tsp Glycerine

I normally add two litres of the main juice and one of WGJ (or RGJ if making Rose) but as the Tesco Pure Exotic Juice is 100% juice i decided to just use one in each DJ.

The lava lamp effect is in full flow. :thumb:

I will add a short review when it has finished.

This juice is £1 per litre at the moment.

Only one? What else you going to put in to make up the 5 Ltrs. ???

1 ltrs apple and raspberry and 1 ltr wgj, but because the apple and raspberry is 100% juice if you put two in the dj its abit full on. most juice drinks shop bought contain a percentage of water within them and are not 100% juice.

i made 2 djs of this one with wgj and one with rgj. i much prefer the wgj.

My best WoW is

1 litre of Blueberry juice

2 litres of Red Grape Juice

1 Kg of sugar

1 Tsp of Citric Acid or Juice of one Lemon (lemon juice is better in my opinion)

1 Tsp of Yeast Nutrient

1/4 Tsp of Epsom/Andrews Salts

1 Tsp of Youngs Super Wine Yeast Compond

Water to 4.5 litres

This makes a lovely fresh Rose
