Watermelon juice wine recipe

Just a simple recipe, from supermarket juices. To keep the juice fresh tasting, the alcohol content is around 8%.

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon wine tannin
• 1 teaspoon yeast nutrient
• 1/2 teaspoon pectolase
• 30ml lemon juice
• 1 tin white wine concentrate
• 200g fructose
• 4L watermelon juice (supermarket stuff is fine, as long as there's a high proportion of fresh juice)
• 1 teaspoon Young's wine yeast (or something fancy if you prefer)

Method

Add all the ingredients apart from the juice to a demijohn. For a stronger wine, you can dissolve 1kg sugar in the watermelon juice. Pour in the juice, take a hydrometer reading, then add yeast. Leave to ferment until dry, then rack for a few months until clear, rack again and leave a few weeks longer, then bottle.
