Girlfriend wanted wine so I brought up a spare fermenter from my other house, giving lemon wine a shot. This will be my first proper wine (that I won’t be immediately turning into brandy) Glad to be back at it after the hectic holidays. I want to make an orange brandy next, but after slicing 50 lemons by hand (I don’t own a mandolin) I think I need a short break from slicing citrus.
Not a drinker, but I am pretty curious how a lemon wine would actually taste. I'm imagining it could be better than a hard lemonade but alcohol never tastes the way I imagine it will (one of many reasons why I don't really drink lol).
We shall find out! I had to deviate from my plan (had too much water) and had to boil it (for my distillations I never boil my fruit) so we’ll see how it goes!
