I can't really comment on the recipe, although I have seen wine recipes which use malt.

If you want a quick wine, Wine No.1 is a tried-and-trusted favourite:

- not only do you get the recipe, but you get a step-by-step guide to making it, which should help you improve your techniques.

I hope you don't mind, but I deleted the prevoius thread, which you created about a minute before this one - it was a near-duplicate

woops thanks for that i tried to edit the title because it was quite garbled !!!!!

I can also reccomend the wine #1. I did mine with the apple and elderflower juice available from ASDA I think. It has quite suprised me how good it is and I have the feeling even 5 gallons of it may not last long. Made it while ASDA were doing one of those 3 for 2 offers so it worked out at mere pence per bottle. Bargain if you ask me.

I really wouldn't use malt in a wine...it will add nothing that I would desire, save the malt for beer.

CJJ Berrys book is great in terms of methodology, but the recipes leave a lot to be desired.

I updated many of them here

follow the recipe and methodology to the letter and you will be drinking rather nice white wine in around 38 days time.

OR...

Try Wurzels orange wine

I too can recommend the wine #1, in fact the making the whole series #1 to #4 will build skills and give you a range of wines to stick in the cellar.
