I am planning a Rice and Rasin Wine as I have heard many a comment about how good it is. I have been searching for a recipe and the following one kept cropping up:
Rice (long grain) 5 lb (2.25kg)
Raisins 3 lb (1.5kg)
Sugar 10 lb (4.5kg)
3 Lemons
1 Orange (This can be substituted for the same quantity of pure apple juice)
1 cup of strong cold tea (Optional, this is to add the tannin normally found in wine)
Wine yeast and nutrient 2 oz 50g 1tbsp yeast, 1tbsp nutrient
Water 3 gallons 13.5 litres
It seems fairly straight forward but at 1.5kg of sugar per gallon it seems like it will be rocket fuel. I was thinking of reducing the sugar to something more resonable like 3.5kg. The question I have is has anyone made this? and if so does it really benifit from being so strong?
