WOWs Lidl juice

[johncrobinson]

Hi Kelper, In your post #20 I would say add some acid (citric/tartraric/malic) at least one heaped teaspoon per gallon.

If there is not enough acid during the fermentation you can end up with it tasting like cough medicine or glue.
I cant remember the exact name of the chemical involved,But its production during the fermentation is avoided by having sufficient acid.

I agree JCR. I did say, "No tea but all the other usual adjuncts."

Even red grape juice seems to be getting a little scarce, as mentioned Lidl did used to sell it but no more..

Places that do - Sainsburys (longlife), Asda (chilled), Waitrose (chilled, possibly longlife?).

Morrisons do sell a red grape, apple and raspberry juice that I have used successfully to make a fairly nice WOW, used 2L of it for 1 gallon.

Tesco seem to have stopped selling it (we used to buy ours there) but are selling - Purple grape juice - https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/253404930
