Just one thing with Lychee Juice, if you buy it off the supermarket shelf... some of them taste like sugar water with way too much lychee essence... it says 100% natural ... with added flavors . So make sure you get something that is worth brewing or you get alcoholic essences. The natural...

Just one thing with lychee juice... often when you buy em off the shelf in supermarkets, the flavor is pumped up with too much essence. That makes the wine taste like sugar alcohol with essence. :( So try and get your hands on something with no added flavors. Good Luck! Keep me posted on how...

Wow Congratulations! Keep us posted. :)

I just put one 2 inch stick in there and let it be for a month. You should try this on your own though, as the strength of cinnamon sticks differs in different places. I am from India and I thought that this one was particularly weak.

I am from India, here every store has lychee juice available easily. I just googled it for your area and found this : http://valumarket.grocerydirect.com/pd/Yeos/Lychee-Drink/10-fl-oz/07752132110/ Also, there are heaps of choices available on ebay. Hope it helps. Cheers!

LYCHEE WINE 3 kg sugar 5 sweet limes juiced 500 gms raisins (white grape) 20 L lychee juice Added a shredded piece of ginger after 15 days. Steinberg yeast (thought it would keep the flavour smooth + i had it handy) Yeast nutrient Final Alcohol content 14%. It is superb...

I added a bit of cinnamon... gives it a nicer spicy note.

How long did it take for your white wine to clarify before the first racking? I personally found steinberg to be a little slow. My batch was fermenting at 28. Please let me know how things turned out.
