VIN ORDINAIRE

Just 4 u

WHITE

Ingredients:
½ pint canned orange juice 1 teaspoonful Pectozyme
½ pint canned pineapple juice Bordeaux yeast
2 lbs. sugar Water to 1 gallon

Method:
The sugar is poured into a gallon jar, the juices and nutrients, etc., are added and
the jar is topped up to the shoulder with cold water. Vigorous stirring will dissolve the
sugar and the yeast starter and Pectozyme are added immediately. This wine will ferment
out to dryness in about 3-4 weeks at 75 deg. F. At the end of this time 2 Campden tablets
should be added and the wine racked a week later. After 3-4 months the wine is brilliantly
clear and is drinkable as a rough white wine but is much improved if cask matured for
two months.

RED

Ingredients :
1 lb. fresh elderberries 1 teaspoon Pektolase
(or ¼ lb. dried) Burgundy yeast and nutrient
1 lb. raisins (or ¼ pint red 2 lemons (or ¼ oz. citric acid)
grape concentrate) Water to 1 gallon
1 ½ lb. sugar

Method :
The ingredients are crushed and placed in a bucket and boiling water is poured
over them. The water level is brought up to 1 gallon and when cool the yeast starter and
Pektolase are added. The pulp is strained off after four days and thereafter fermentation
continues in a gallon jar. Rack when all sugar has been used up (generally within a
month) and allow to clear.
