fruit juice and coconut wine?

Post by alan66 » Sun Aug 24, 2008 2:46 pm

As any one made a wine with fruit juice concentrate and desicated coconut?
Have just used half lb coconut, 1ltr pineapple juice and ltr apple juice, quater lb sultnas, yeast, nutrient, tannin, citric acid, 2lb sugar and topped up to 1 gallon with water.
I have noticed now that the coconut is very light and sitting well on top of the must, will this cause me a problem?
Thanks
Alan

Grand.
Couple of quick questions then. Citric acid, how many tabs would you put in, just the 1? Tannin, what did you use? Could I just make up a strong cup of tea, say 3 tea bags, and use that?

Hi buddy, i dont think i used any citric, i did use a strong cup of tea (without the milk and sugar) for the tannin, hope this helps:)
