I recently visited a frind of mine just as her mother was about to throw away four dirty old 1 gal demijohn's (5 litre carboys)... Nice score and they are sitting on my counter soaking at the moment and I've ideas about what to do with them...
On the ideas front...
I'd like to make a mixed fruit cider.
I'd like to make a lemon and lime wine and/or hard lemonade.
I'd like to make a batch of Joe's Ancient orange mead.
I'd like to make something odd at the suggestion of the wise people here!
Some thoughts
JOAM:
Don't touch what ain't broken...
Cider:
3.5 L apple juice + 1L cranberry raspberry juice + 500 g Brown Sugar
Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries (Amounts???)(Primary/Secondry???)
yeast nutrient + Generic Cider Yeast
Lemon/Lime
4 Lemons + 12 Limes (Juice and rind) boiled with 1kg brown sugar and cooled
+ 500g raisons + pectic enzyme + yeast nutrient + Wine yeast
Interesting part...
Bottle half after primary in beer bottles priming with DME for hard lemonade, secondry second half on a repeat of the initial recipe for wine...
Finally, the fourth demijohn... Be imaginative...
I'd like to thank you all for listening and I think it's safe to say that we can all have a lot of fun batting this out..
