Second Run Question

[spritzer]

A friend has been making some cherry beer...
I wondered, if it is possible to use the cherry's, as a second run, to make wine ?


Sorry, I wasnt sure if this should have been posted on the beer or wine part of the forum.... please move, if its in the wrong place Ta

I wouldn't think it would make a clean wine, and hops arent a good wine addition IMHO

Ahhh ok. She made it from a kit lager, added cherries.....
Would this still have hops within ?

hmmm

might be ok, but id be a little worried about my wine tasting of beer, but worth a go maybe (the cherries are free)

Well...


Tis not good...
My pal brought in the cherries to work, and I tasted them
The flavour wasn't too good...
They dont taste off, just a really bitter after taste.
She doesn't even like the flavour of the beer that she has made.
I cant/dont know any advice to give her, having never made lager/beer.....
Anyone ???

Anyway, the birds in Govan have an interesting breakfast this morning, and I am sure, that they will be singing "SheeeerrrryBoooooowwwwww" today

I dont really know anything about making beer...
But I was wondering if my pal should have put pectolase in her brew ??
I dont think she did....
