Did you know that more foods are made with wheat than any other cereal grain? Why not keep a good thing going with a wheat wine recipe? See below for details…

Ingredients:

¾ lb Wheat

½ pt Lt. Grape Conc.

6 ½ pt Water

2 ¼ lb Sugar

3 tsp Acid Blend

¼ tsp Tannin

1 tsp Nutrient

1 Campden, crush

1 pkg Wine yeast

Starting S.G> 1.085-95

Note: You can buy all of these ingredients in one easy package at letseatfoodandwine.com!

Method:

1. Wash grain, soak 24 hrs in 1 qt. water. Crush again. Pour grain and water through straining bag over primary fermentor, tie bag and leave in primary.
2. Mix in all ingredients together in primary EXCEPT yeast. Cover primary.
3. After 24 hrs., add yeast. Cover primary.
4. Stir daily, and check S.G.
5. When ferment reaches S.G. 1.040 (3-5 days) strain juice lightly from bag. Syphon off wine sediment into glass jug secondary. Attach airlock.
6. When ferment is complete (S.G. has reached 1.000—about 3 weeks) siphon off sediment into clear secondary. Reattach lock.
7. Syphon again in 2 months and again if necessary until clear before bottling.

Tip: You may care to sweeten this wine. Before bottling add ½ tsp stabilizer, then, ¼ lb. dissolved sugar per gallon.
