Title: Home Brewing, Wine Beer........ Post by: harryhoudini on July 05, 2009, 01:50:24 am start by searching for nice young nettles, good idea to wear gloves so you dont get stung...... collect about 6 pints of tips (5" long). Pour boiling water over this, strain,
this is the wine recipe I found ........ 6 pints nettle tops 3-1/2 lbs granulated sugar 7-1/2 pts water 1 lemon 1 orange 1 tsp yeast nutrient wine yeast Thinly peel the lemon and orange while bringing water to boil. Juice the lemon and orange. Place nettles, juice and lemon and orange peelings in in primary with sugar and yeast nutrient. Pour boiling water into primary and stir well to dissolve sugar. Cover with sanitized cloth and set aside to cool. When room temperature, add wine yeast. After five days of vigorous fermentation, strain liquid into demi jons and attach airlock. When wine begins to clear, rack into clean demijons and refit airlock. After 3 months, rack into bottles must be 30 years since i made my own wines and beers, Title: Re: Home Brewing, Wine Beer........
