This evening, my wife and I bottled our strawberry wine (which we started fermenting back in June).
F/W/I/W - Here's the recipel.
Needed: (a) One 5 gallon carbuoy
(b) 8 pounds really ripe strawberries washed, hulled and cut in half
(c) 2 gallons spring water
Boil the strawberries for 30 minutes. Cool and pour into carbuoy, then add:
(d) 2 oranges and 2 lemons, cut up
(e) 2 pounds raisins
(f) 6 pounds (equals 12 cups) sugar
(g) 1 packet wine yeast (dissolved in lukewarm water)
Stir daily till fermentation complete, about 2 weeks.
Let stand in carbuoy for 4 months, then strain, rack, bottle and enjoy.
Due to its high sugar content, this tends to be the most alcoholic flavor of the wines that we make.
