  • Karl's Citrus Aperitif question

    CITRUS APERITIF DRY
    1 litre White grape juice
    1 litre apple juice
    Sugar to 1.080 (approx 1.5lb)
    1 tsp yeast nutrient
    2 oranges & 1 lemon cut into quarters
    High alcohol yeast (Gervin No3 or Lalvin EC-1118)
    Water to 1 gallon
    1/2 lb sugar for feeding

    Do I need to do any more than wash the fruit before cutting it into quarters and adding it?
    Really looking forward to giving this a go as it'll be the first time with a half decent yeast for me.
    Also, does this resemble something like lemoncello?

    Sounds nice. Limoncello is made with vodka, so what you'll have is a citrus flavoured wine.

      Yes, just wash the fruit.
      The result will be a clean fresh citrus wine with a decent alcohol kick, it should stimulate the appetite & leave the palette clean & refreshed.
