Hi guys I put out a request for the above a while back and thanks to some advice from graysalchemy have come up with my own recipe that comes pretty close.
It is slightly stronger in alcohol effect though :)
I did 5 demi-johns with different recipe's to find a close flavour so this is scaled up to five gallons. It worked well with the scaled up 5 gallons second attempt too.
recipe:
23 litre's of aldi AJ from concentrate.
1 small bottle of wilco 100% white grape concentrate. (About 220ml)
5 level teaspoons of wine tanning.
1 wilco gervin wine yeast sachet.
As usual I forgot to take the OG
FG: 1002
Bottled with 1 level tsp of splenda per 500ml.
3/4 of a level tsp of granulated Tate & Lyle for carbonation.
If anything it is a little less acidic than Gaymers but slightly more apple in flavour. It's the closest out of my five attempts.
It's drinkable after two weeks which was a nice surprise which may be down to the back sweetening.
A very nice drink but don't drink too much if you need to drive to the lake district the morning after like me. :thumb:
