41/F/Chicago, Illinois Join Date: Sep 2005 | Apple Wine
Yields one gallon
1 gallon Fresh Apple Cider
1 tsp. Yeast Nutrient
1 pound Sugar
1 crushed Campden Tablet
1.5 tsp. Acid Blend
1 package Wine Yeast
.5 tsp. Pectic Enzyme
.25 tsp. Grape Tannin
Put juice into a primary fermenter bucket and immediately add the crushed campden tablet, all other ingredients except yeast, and stir well.
Cover loosely, and wait 24 hours. Add yeast, and stir daily. After 4-5 days, crush another campden tablet, place in gla** secondary, and siphon into gla** and put airlock and stopper on top.
In 3 weeks, siphon off of sediment into clean gla** jug, along with 1/2 campden tablet, and re-attach airlock and stopper. Siphon along with 1/2 campden every 30 days for at least 2 more times, and again if still sediment. To sweeten slightly, add 1/2 tsp stabilizer, then 1/2 cup dissolved sugar per gallon. Wait 2-3 days, then bottle and cork.

41/F/Chicago, Illinois Join Date: Sep 2005 | Dandelion wine is an actual drink that is made from the blossoms of the humble dandelion. Below is a recipe from an old cookbook that dates from the early 1900's. (Be certain that there are no pesticides or herbicides on the plants, such as weedkiller!)
"Four good quarts of dandelion blossoms, four pounds of sugar, six oranges, five lemons. Wash dandelion blossoms and place them in an earthenware crock. Pour five quarts of boiling water over them and let stand 36 hours. Then strain through a muslin bag, squeezing out all moisture from dandelions. Put the strained juice in a deep stone crock or jug and add to it the grated rind and juice of the six oranges and five lemons. Tie a piece of cheese-cloth over the top of jug and stand it in a warm kitchen about one week, until it begins to ferment. Then stand away from stove in an outer kitchen or cooler place, not in the cellar, for three months. At the end of three months put in bottles. This is a clear, amber, almost colorless liquid. A pleasant drink of medicinal value."
For dandelion wine made with yeast: "Four quarts of dandelion blossoms. Pour over them four quarts of boiling water; let stand 24 hours, strain and add grated rind and juice of two oranges and two lemons, four pounds of granulated sugar and two tablespoonfuls of home-made yeast. Let stand one week, then strain and fill bottles."

41/F/Chicago, Illinois Join Date: Sep 2005 | Plan in advance for this very easy Strawberry Wine. It needs to age at least one year
INGREDIENTS:
7 pounds whole fresh strawberries, (fresh picked, if possible), washed and hulled
2 gallons boiling water
Juice of 1 lemon
5 pounds sugar
PREPARATION:
In a large earthenware crock, mash the strawberries. Cover with boiling water, add lemon juice, and quickly stir for about two minutes. Cover with a clean linen cloth. Let rest in a cool, dark place, stirring daily for one week.
After one week, strain the mixture through a double-layer of cheesecloth into a large, clean bowl, discarding strawberry pulp. Combine strawberry liquid with the sugar, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour into cleaned crock and let stand another week, stirring daily.
After the second week, pour the strawberry liquid into 1-gallon gla** wine bottles and cork loosely. (May use fermentation locks, if you have them.) Let rest in a cool, dark place for 3 months. When wine is clear and no longer fermenting (bubbling), pour into individual bottles, cork, and age at least 1 year before drinking this delicious Strawberry Wine.
Yield: Approximately 2-1/2 gallons or 40 servings.
