Hi, and yes I am an Australian. I've never brewed before.
Not much into beer, and most of my wine experience has been limited to the "big" wines that Australia apparently makes, which has given me a rather limited and slightly negative opinion about wines.
I'm looking to ferment some cordial I made by steeping grapefruit rind/pith in boiling water and adding a buttload of sugar and ending up with a concoction tasting a bit like grapefruit marmalade, far too bitter for consumption in its current state. The problem is, I only have 750 ml of it (1.6 pints I think, and contained in a 1.25 litre "pop" bottle), and most of the brewing recipes I find want me to have gallons of the must/wort/base stuff.
Is there a place here I can go to talk about citrus wines? Is there any hope of brewing such a small amount of stuff?
Regards,
Pith.
