Fruit wine recipe Finally got there making it.
So its taken me since lockdown to create it, but I think she looks pretty good for an amateur.
20 summer fruit tea bags
15 litres of water
6kg of sugar
1 pack of yeast.
Throw in the tub, put it in between my kitchen and conservatory, gave it a spin everyday for the first week, crikey did it bubble.
1 month later transferred it to another tub removing teabags and excess, left for another month, added finings.
Voila

Thank you, like i said before, I started the hobby in lockdown and I've continued since, most my friends drink it straight away, I recommend that you leave it a few months to get the best value, I opened some I made duribg lockdown recently and its blew my head of with the strength.

Hi. You just posted an image to r/winemaking. All image posts need a little bit of explanation now. If it is a fruit wine post the recipe. If it is in a winery explain the process that is happening. We might delete if you don't. Thanks.

What’s a summer fruit tea bag?

Aldi summer fruit tea bags, it's hydrated fruit, so you've got the fruit in bags avoids all the mess. Quick and easy.
