coffee wine?

[Fracturedman]

I am just curious to know if anyone has ever made a coffee wine? I looked on here and could find a recipe. I am assuming it can be done.

I'm also curious about this... anyone?

The recipe is quite simple -

15g instant coffee
1.25 kg sugar
15g citric acid
4.5 litres water
1 teaspoon ammonium phosphate

I haven't actually tried it myself but I've been told its quite dry

Shouldnt cost much to make it...give it a shot and let us know.

It sounds dreadful. Why not just put a shot of Jameson in some real fresh brewed coffee?

I like your logic...:rockin:

Jack Keller has two recipe's posted.

CC Berry's Winemaking book (sorry, too lazy to look up exact title/author) has a similar recipe in it as well, though the methods seem a bit dated.

I intend to try this soon but haven't made decisions on all the methods yet. Good Luck!

I've made coffee mead with cold steeped fresh ground coffee. It turned out to be pretty tasty.

I don't know how well grapes would go with coffee. Coffee flavored beer sounds good though.

Used 2nd run gounds cause last time had way to much oil .And added grape for body, no grape flavor , coffee way strong in tatse and smell . Last time , thin oily mess. Should have saved it , could have used it to induce vomiting. hahahah

That was my first thought also.
Except I was thinking Bushmills.

If I were to make a "coffee wine," I think I'd rather use the coffee fruit than the coffee bean.

I've only tried the Kona Red juice, which has other fruit in it, so I'm still not certain exactly what the true flavour of the pure fruit is, but what I've tried was pretty tasty. I think the biggest drawback for using coffee fruit juice/extract/concentrate would be the cost; the stuff is pretty expensive.
Might be worth it to ferment a 1 gallon batch though.
