Hiya Guys
So I was watching my springer running round the garden scoffing Sticky Willy (goosegrass, cleavers, Galium aparine) as he does every year and my new wine mind thought, I wonder what that tastes like and can you make wine from it?!
So I had a nibble and it tastes a bit like peas. I had a look on tinternet and people have made tea and vinegars with it, but I couldn't find any wine recipies.
I'm planning on starting a nettle wine this weekend and thought maybe I could use the same recipe for the sticky willy.
3qts Nettle tops
sugar to 1.080
1 lemon
1 orange
1ltr apple/white grape juice
yeast and nutrient
What do you think? One, does this nettle recipe look ok and two, reckon I should try it with the lovely sticky willy?
thanks
