V-8 Splash WIne

[graffij1]

Has anybody tried fermenting V-8 Splash, into a wine? Thinking of trying this, using 5 gallons and 2 pounds of corn sugar...I wanted to post here to see if anybody had any suggestions...this is my first try at an experiment

As long as it doesn't have preservatives (sodium benzoate or sorbate), that should work!

I did Tropicana apple juice it was like a really good moscato. 1 cup sugar for every 2L used Belgian wit yeast

As an experiment, you might consider doing a 1 gallon batch instead of a full 5 gallons. The idea being to spend less money just incase you don't like the results. If you do like the results, you can always reproduce them later with a full 5 gallon batch.

Not sure if this will help but I simmered down 2 different V-8 infusions to use in skeeter pee.

At the final racking there was a lot of sediment from the V-8. We did not care for either one and poured them down the drain. Thankfully it was only 1/2 gallons of each.

Other juices we tried were superb in taste, especially the cranberry/black cherry.

2 pounds of sugar on a 5 gallon batch seems really low it might not have very much alcohol in it.

Ed worts apple wine is only two pounds. How does that work then?

Edworts relies on sugar in the apple juice as well. I don't think that Edworts has a high ABV compared to wines.(<<may be wrong) That is why Honda said your recipe wouldn't have much alcohol content in it.

apple juice has alot of sugar in it to start with. what is the sugar content of v8 splash

 

[graffij1]

OK its actually not v8 splash. Its v8 fusion. V8 fusion is 100% juice. Has anybody tried this?

 

[bmeyer46]

the splash is actually vegetable juice flavored to taste like fruit isn't it?

 

[Sammyk]

Actually I was wrong, it was the infusion and not the splash.

Just an update. I used five gallons of juice and four pounds of corn sugar and pitched ec-1118.
