carrot wine

[rokefert]

Tonites bottling will free up a bunch of room for a new batch and im thinking my garden carrots will be the theme. Ive seen a few recipes some of which called for peppercorns, raisins etc. Has anybody made a "dry" carrot wine they really enjoyed? If ya did, and don't mind sharing how ya did it, id appreciate it.

This recipe sounds good and he seems to like it too.

I just bottled, and holy crap. I was skeptical, but this came out tasty!

4 lbs carrots, (grated and boiled in one gallon of water. I just poured the carrot water through a strainer onto the raisins)
2 lbs brown sugar
a little cinnamon and nutmeg
1 lb thompson raisins
lalvin d47

No secondary
yield = 1 gallon

Ended up pretty dry. And strong. I'm on an empty stomach, but I poured myself a pint of this while bottling, and I feel it. yeayeah!


I'm glad this came out good, 'cause I started a five gallon batch a few days ago based on the smell of the one gallon batch. Ha!
I can't wait to see how it ages.
