So my next two wines are going to be a couple of C J J Berry's recipes.
Agrimony and Banana
110g dried agrimony
900g bananas, skin included
450g raisins, sultanas, prunes or dates
1.3 kg sugar
15g citric acid
pinch grape tannin or cup of stong tea
water
yeast nutrient
yeast
Agrimony and Rice
55g dried agrimony
450g wholemeal rice
110g raisins, sultanas
1.3kg sugar
15g citric acid
tbsp. strong tea or 3g grape tannin
water
nutrient
yeast.
A few questions. Are these likely to be dry or sweet dessert wines?
Is there any benefit in buying a fruit press and squishing the fruit etc. after the initial fermentation?
Any suggestions on which strain of yeast to use? I was thinking a Lalvin K1 or possibly an Epernay?
Any other observations?
