Hey Guys and Gals! A kiwi wine made with chopped kiwi fruit, raisins, oranges and sugar.
Ingredients
6 cups (3 pints) chopped kiwi fruit
1/2 lb (225 grams) raisins
5 3/4 cups of sugar
Juice of 2 oranges
1 teaspoon pectic enzyme
1 teaspoon yeast nutrient
14 cups of water
1 Campden tablet
1 packet wine yeast
Directions
1. Wash and chop the kiwi fruit, leaving the skins on, and place it in the fermenter.
2. Add the orange juice, the chopped raisins, the sugar, water, pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient and crushed Campden tablet. Stir well.
3. Wait 12 hours. Stir the yeast into 4 ounces of warm chlorine-free water, let it stand 15 minutes until bubbling, and add it.
4. Take a hydrometer reading, attach the airlock, and ferment on the pulp 5 to 7 days, gently agitating daily.
5. When the foaming calms, siphon the wine off the sediment into a secondary glass carboy.
6. Wait until fermentation dies down, several weeks to several months, then rack into a clean carboy. Once it has fully stopped, sweeten to taste.
7. When the wine is clear and inactive, bottle and cork. Let it sit 6 to 12 months before drinking. Some prefer 2 years.
