Found myself in Wilkinsons yesterday and picked up some more Red grape juice. It produces a really nice rose style wine. Very easy to do. Never tried a proper Youngs red kit, but this is much cheaper at £4.99.
1 Litre Youngs red grape juice. (slightly smaller than the definitive kit range)
Sugar to 1.080 (think it was about 800g, but check with hydrometer)
Pectolose 1 tsp
citric acid 1 tsp
1 cup of tea for tannin ( NO MILK )
I treated this exactly like I would wine no 1. Lovely dark red colour but ended up tasting like a rose.
Cleared really quickly. In fact i thought it was still cloudy but it was just the dark red colour stopping me seeing through the demijohn.
Drinkable straight away, but leave it a couple of weeks and its VERY drinkable. Never been able to mature it much longert as we always run out of it. Ive not found anyone yet that doesnt like this.
