making flavored liquors http://www.guntheranderson.com/liqueurs/flavors.htm#Melon

secret recipe For you? I'll cave :) It has something to do with my mango + banana berry infused white rum (had to improvise)... otherwise, its just a mix lime, orange and pineapple juice. I found some wonderful recipes for making your own liquors (will look it up and post).

Sangria I did not bottle any of that batch of red wine - (the Sangria was in high demand by all). I just made my second batch of Sangria and am almost through that as well (at least 30 bottles gone - still have 15 or so remaining and saved a few bottles of plain wine). However, I have...

Hi everyone Thought I would share my experience with this - my first red wine from concentrate was just ok, so a few months ago I bottled it as Sangria. Basically mixed up my secret alcoholic punch containing rum and variety of fruit juices (with preservatives). This has gone over very well...

Big Fan My brother got me this for Christmas > 2 yrs ago and I use these for everything - soda and wine (bought many extra tops for it). I use them (at least for the first few) when I am bottling until I can get the corker out....

Hi everyone I made a mango wine > 1 yr ago - it had a metallic taste and very high acid (the bottled water I used was high acid and the temperature was >90 at times), so I tossed most of it out. I kept 1 gallon for cooking, which now has a black sediment on the bottom, but the taste is much...

Hi there I was wondering where to find this recipe as I would love to try it. How did yours turn out?

Hi guys I used the suncal concentrated white grape juice instructions and added the fruit of 5 frozen bananas and 5 mangos (+ peptic enzyme to help with clearing and a little sugar). I did not use campden tablets on the fruit, however... After racking to carboy (after 7 days in primary and...

yes Yes - the sediment is white - good to know it will clear! The straining and filtering efforts panic me somewhat as I don't want to expose the wine to air... I have messed up several batches already (turns out our bottled water has high acid and the temperatures last summer climbed to 93...

Tropical fruit wine Hi Icy I live in Belize on the island of Ambergris Caye and we have fairly good access to bananas, Mangos, Pineapple. Have you experimented with any combinations yet? I have a batch going of white grape juice concentrate with banana and mango and just transferred to the...

Procedure question - banana wine Hi Allie Am I interpreting the recipe to be that you do not add the fruit to the primary after boiling (just the juice)? I have just racked my first batch of mango / banana / white grape concentrate (SunCal Liebfraumilch) in which I left the fruit in a bag...

Papaya question Papayas are plentiful here, but the locals say that you can't make wine from it (something about the enzymes fighting the yeast). However, I have seen recipes for it on the web. I am thinking of mixing my tropical fruits - simply because it is challenging to obtain a large...

Grape concentrate question Hi Wade Would it make sense here to add a ripe banana during the primary fermentation? Also, if I only have 2 cans of juice, but have black raisons on hand, can I substitute raison juice for the concentrate and just add sugar to get to the target SG? We have to...

? about the grape juice concentrate Not sure where I got this recommendation off the internet, but I thought the board members would know.... "The frozen grape juice concentrate you buy at store has about twice the acid content that grapes from vineyards have. If you make wine out of the...

Not to worry Trust me - you will hear about everything (did I mention I am OCD and am a nervous nellie / mother hen with my wine?) I am so happy to find this forum :)

Great suggestion Allie - thanks again for all of your help!

Great - thanks so much - that sounds perfect!

Thanks Thanks so much Wade! I will give it a go - think the banana will be great with the pineapple :)

Banana wine question So more of an after dinner or desert wine?

Banana WIne question I just can't grasp the idea of banana wine and what the taste would be. Can anyone describe the taste / texture for me? Thanks
