Waaahhh.... I thought I only posted my reply to the wine group. I am not a
fan of off topic crossposting.

Hi, Giselle - regarding carrot wine, I used the recipe from the book "The
Joy of HomeWinemaking" by Terry Garey. I am sure that there are lots of
recipes out there - Jack Keller, who posts to this ng has piles of recipes
on his homepage, a link for which must be around here somewhere.

As to what went wrong... man.. it started out bad and it just got worse and
worse. There was a powerful sickly sweet chemical odour and aftertaste from
the very beginning. I can only surmise that something bad got in and made
itself at home in there.

I haven't tried it since. But I think that underneath there was a very
interesting taste - almost spicy? - that must have been the actual carrot
wine. I may try it again but for now I'll stick to the near-idiot-proof kits
I buy at the local vendor.

Cheers,

Gabriel
