Can you rate this recipe?
Can anyone see if this recipe looks OK? It is a "substitution" for the
acids & tannins. It's a natural "old style" recipe.
Just starting out, so I am wanting to try it, because it's cheap & I can do
it now, without buying all the winemaking extras.
With all the pasturizing in the food industry & if I keep a clean area for
making it, I hope it would work.
Please post what you think & if you feel something should be added, replaced
or omitted and why.
Thanks!
