Watermelon Wine

[alexriverajr]

I would like to make a watermelon moscato. Anyone have a recipe? Thanks

However you make it keep the alcohol % on the low side this tends to taste hot.

What do you mean hot?

 

[PKnotlost]

High alcohol burn

Ok thanks.

Perhaps more experienced people can support/refute this -

I tried making a Strawberry/Watermelon wine that failed. I was later told that watermelon very quickly begins to rot once cut open, and that the developing bacteria tainted my must.

They said I should have started the strawberries, and once the must was fermenting at a good pace, cut and add the watermelon so it wouldn't have time to begin rotting.

How is your batch coming along?

I haven't started making a batch yet because I heard it's also best to wait to the summer when the melons are in season.

Keep me posted when you do - I'd like to hear your results.
