... and so my late dash to up my volume of brews for the year continues. This is one i haven't tried before, Cherry Quickie. I have made a cherry wine kit (Youngs) and found it pleasant easy drinking. And i've made wines with cherries as part of a mix of various fruits, and that was delicious. So it's time to try a cherry quickie.
Recipe, 3 Gallons:
3 Litres Red Grape Juice (Rio D'Oro)
3 Litres Cherry Juice Drink (Cherry Good)
2 Kg Sugar
3 Teaspoons Citric Acid
2 Teaspoons Pectolase
2 Teaspoons yeast Nutrient (Tronozymol)
Yeast (GV1, lees from previous brew, passion fruit quickie)
OG
Method:
Just like every other quickie wine. Have a rummage about on my index page (click > "my brew list") and find a quickie wine from the list for details).
Discussion:
I chose citric acid cos i'm low on tartaric acid. Citric acid should work well tho, it's a safe bet. It may add a bit of lemon flavour but that's not a bad thing.
This Cherry Good juice also has some elderberry concentrate in it. i had a mouthful to see how strong that flavour was, and barely noticed it. My experience of elderberries (as a small proportion of fruits) in red wine brews is positive. So i think this will only improve the wine.
