It has been a while since there has been an update so here goes…
Apple Wine The apple wine which was made at the end of the September has finished fermenting and has been bottled into demijohns and has been popped into the cellar and left to clear.
Apple Cider Thanks to Bob T we had a delivery of yet more apples (and I believe there is more to come) so we currently have 30lbs of apples soaking in 4 gallons of water in the cellar which should be ready for pressing this weekend. That may take some time.
Alcoholic Chilli Ginger Beer We have been making chilli ginger beer. The recipe is pretty easy, 10 pints of water, root ginger and chilli to taste and add sugar and yeast. The more sugar the stronger the alcohol. This is currently fermenting in the cellar.
Autumn Fruit Wines The Elderberries and Blackberries that we picked had been left in sugar and water to make syrup for wine making, after a few weeks we pressed the syrup giving us a gallon of elderberry syrup and a gallon of blackberry and elderberry syrup. We added yeast to these and they have been happily fermenting with a heating band around them in the kitchen.
