Re: [E-Z-Caps] dandilion wine

[yahoo]

Here is a theoretical EZ Cap Dandelion wine recipe (i.e., I
haven't tried to make dandelion wine with EZ Caps but if I did, this would
be the first recipe I would try) . Dandelion wine will require yeast
nutrient. If you don't have any you can ferment a batch of apple cider and
immediately use the sludge on the bottom (leftover from fermentation after
clarified in fridge). Use all of it.

To make EZ Cap dandelion wine i would recommend getting 1/2 gallon of
dandelion flowers (just the petal portion, no greenery) per 2 liter EZ
Capped wine you intend to make. Yes, that's a lot of picking but you will
need that many. Wash/rinse flowers then boil slightly more than a 1/2
gallon of water and add the flowers. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it
sit for 3 days. Strain well. Add 1.5 pounds of sugar and the juice from 1
large lemon and 1 orange. Add yeast and yeast nutrient. Place in EZ Capped
bottle and ferment for 3 weeks. Strain, allow to sit overnight and place
into clean EZ Capped bottle and leave it until fermentation ends. Place in
fridge to clear. For best flavor age 6-12 months if you can wait that long.
