Coffee Wine Recipe
Yes, we’re serious. This is a coffee wine. Now you can satiate two addictions at once! J
Ingredients:
5 tbs Instant Coffee
7 pts Water
3 lbs Honey
3 tsp Acid Blend
¾ tsp Energizer
1 Campden, crush
1 pkg Sherry yeast
Starting S.G. 1.090-95
Just FYI, all the above ingredients can be bought in one easy package at letsmakefoodandwine.com!
Method:
- Measure out instant flavour and sugar (or honey) into primary fermentor. Pour water (hot) over and stir thoroughly.
- Stir in all other ingredients except yeast. Cover primary.
- After 24 hrs., add yeast. Cover primary.
- Stir daily, check S.G. When ferment reaches S.G. 1.040 (about 3-5 days) syphon wine off sediment into glass jug secondary. Attach airlock.
- When ferment is complete (S.G. has reached 1.000—about 3 weeks) syphon off sediment into clean secondary. Reattach lock. Syphon again in 2 months and again if necessary until clear before bottling.
