Racked it off last night, tastes great. I made the unwise decision to taste the lees, boy was that hot. All the pulp from the chillies was in the choc. Something a little milder next, Yorkshire Tea wine

It's still bubbling away and yes it will be hot, maybe too much. I made some strawberry and chilli a few years ago and that was really nice.

Ok,so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

About 30 birds eye off my bush that I have just trimmed back for the winter. I put the cordial, cocoa powder and chillis in about 6 litres water and boiled till the chillies went soft. I should have left it at that but I didn't, I stuck a blender in and broke them up. It is going to be hot.

You can make wines out of almost anything.

I made the top recipe a few years ago, it was quite a sweet syrupy wine with a bite as it went down.

There are quite a few obscure ones as they are quite old, so if anyone is looking for anything specific. Please ask and I'll have a look to see if there is anything close. They are mainly fruit wines, I'm from Yorkshire originally by the way.

It was first printed in 1955, the copy I have is a reprint from 1968

I think I may have overdone the chilli :0

My latest brainwave, only just putting it together. It tastes pretty good so far, it will be interesting to see how fermentation changes the flavours.

Hi all, new to the forum but not to brewing. I've been brewing on and off for the last 30 years, mainly country wines. I inherited a recipe book from my gran, it dates back to the 60's and has been my bible.
