Here is the link to MD's Cheeky Vimto - viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5427&start=0&hilit=vimto
But if its a Vimto Wine you looking t make, then see this link, just substitute the Ribena for Vimto. -
750 grams sugar
1 litre bottle strawberry ribena
1 litre asda cranberry juice
mixed sugar with ribena (and some of the cranberrie juice) and boiled gently for 15 mins in a pan to allow any preservatives to boil off and then skimmed scum off.
added a litre of cold water toMdemijohn, and the rest of the carton of cranberrie juice.
then added the sugar / ribena / cranberrie mix to the demijohn and topped up with water (to the shoulder only!)
allowed to cool to room temp
Then added :-
1 teaspoon of youngs yeast
1 teaspoon of youngs nutrient
SG 1.100

it might be yours i saw!?
my vimto is only 725ml so i'll add a little extra sugar, will need more apple juice though, i was sure it said water the one i saw, maybe not!?
