Inspired by Hazel's winemaking threads, and wanting to have a similar record for myself, I am chronicling my chronic attempt at making beetroot wine.
I am roughly following CJJ Berry's recipe, but swapped some sugar for sultanas
3lb young sweet beetroot, chopped
2lb sugar
1lb minced sultanas
6 cloves
juice of 1 lemon
1oz bruised fresh ginger
1 gallon water
red wine yeast
1 tsp nutrient
------------------
Boil washed, chopped, unpeeled beetroot in some of the water until tender but not mushy.
Strain onto the sugar, stir until dissolved. then add sultanas, lemon juice, spices & remaining water.
When it's all cool, add yeast & nutrient. Cover, then stir twice a day for 3 days.
