Onion Jalapeno Wine - (1 gallon recipe)
---------------------------------------
10 jalapeno's (diced, only de-stemmed) *re-tains more heat than 15 without seeds
2 onions (diced)
1 lbs sugar
water to 1 gallon
1 packet montrachet yeast
- mix all but yeast in primary, add 1 crushed campden tablet, then pitch yeast after 24 hours
- let ferment - after 2 weeks rack to secondary
- let sit until clear (racking off lees when/if necessary)
- bottle when clear/no more lees after 30 days (no carb - keep dry/still)
Concerns:
1. Enough onion/jalapeno flavor resides after initial racking, since it won't be in a bag to squeeze the juices out?
2. Are seeds small enough to clog the siphon? Will all the seeds drop out after enough time?
Planning on pitching tonight/tomorrow, and will use this thread as a log for the recipe.
