Hi, I'm looking for some thoughts on making rosehip wine, as I've not tackled it before.
I've found various recipes, some of which say freeze the picked and washed hips first then crush once defrosted and in the fermenter. Others don't mention freezing but say to chop the hips. Quantities of hips to use vary greatly too and the variety of rose to use (rugosa or canina being the ones I've seen mentioned.)
So, if you've made it in the past - preferably successfully! - what did you do?
