We were lucky enough to have a back-yard free ofweek killers so had a bountiful harvest of organic dandelions.
Decided to try out some dandelion wine this year.
Will post some finalized recipes depending on what batches turn out well....we've experimented w/ variants of sweetners(honey vs. sugar); using raisins for body; and types of fruits used to flavor. Luckily in addition to our free harvest of dandelion wines we also have a bunch of chemistry equipment in our garage my dad spared from being dumped a few years ago. Did need a couple other items for the wine including wine yeast, yeast nu
trient. Took a trip to a really great Wine and Beer Brewing supply store in St. Charles, Home Brew Shop. The clerk, who seemed to be the owner, gave us some really helpful tips for our wine and suggested a couple other items we could use. Really friendly great service, if we ever do any other type of wine making or beer brewing we intend on stopping here. Prices were great, walked out spending about $15 on stuff that will last us at least through at least 20 bottles of wine.
