My mixed grape and strawberry concoction

[Brewhunter]

I've just acquired 5kg of mixed grapes (and a few strawberries)
Here's what I've done..

Crushed the fruit
Campden tablets added
Left over night
Added 2kg of sugar dissolved in boiling water
Added a small tin of white grape extract
Added 2 and a half tsp pectolase
Top up with cold water until gravity of 1.090 was achieved
Wine yeast and nutrient added
Two day later remains of fruit removed

Result = 13 litres of rose wine bubbling away nicely

That sounds nice, Brewhunter! Be interesting to see how it turns out. I managed to get hold of a load of grapes last year for a gallon, it's maturing nicely in the demijohn. I've made gallons of wine in the past, but this is the first time from grapes

I did do one last year and it was easily as good as a kit, it was made with black grapes and kind of has a slightly artificial taste like grape flavour bubblegum
I've still got about 6 bottles left which I'm trying to save as long as I can to see how it matures.

So far so good....

Sounds nice

Just finished my first bottle of this and it's gorgeous,
Better than any rose I've bought (admittedly I've never paid more than £10 for a bottle )
I'll definitely be doing this one again..

Where do you get the tin of white grape extract?

[Brewhunter]

most home brew shops will stock it, I think mine was 'youngs' brand like this one

I fancy making a real Bubblegum flavoured wine, does this taste really Bubblegum?
Any recipes or ideas in how to make a Bubblegum flavoured wine, do you just add Bubblegum flavouring?

[Brewhunter]

I've done this.. made a white wine and added 15 drops of flavouring per bottle before drinking

Providing you keep the ABV something sensible (~10%) then fermenting with a belgian ale yeast @ 22-25 degrees will give bubblegum flavoured esters without the need for artificial chemicals...

Drank too much of my homemade Bubblegum Wine, now cant stand the taste of it
