1 litre of young translucent oak leaves for each gallon (2 dj's). 1 camden - boiling water over and brought to boil and simmered to clear camden. Strained and poured over1kg of sugar and dissolved.
2 litres of red grape juice (lidl's) added and 1/2 tsp of citric, 1 tsp of wilkos nutrient and 1tsp of pectolase. Then added sprinkle of gv4 yeast.
Oddly there appeared more tannin from the young transucent leaves than the older ones used for the white oak wine. Might have been that I left camden in there longer before boiling.
Edit: Fermenting and have cleared camdens. Debating whether to add another litre of red grape to each.
