WOW Rosé wine

Wurzals Orange Wines (WOW) are a method of making home brewed wine using supermarket fruit juice and a few added bits and bobs. I won't go into the history / origin of the name and method, there is a huge amount of info on the internet, so I'll run through what I did.

I am aiming for a Rosé , so reading this thread on the home brew forum, and tinkering very slightly I put the following into a sterialised demijon and gave it a shake. That's about it!

1 litre Asda Fresh Red grape juice.
2 litre Asda Smart Price Apple Juice.
700g Sugar, dissolved in water and brought to the boil.
1 tsp Tannin (actually added to the sugar solution before boiling)
1 tsp citric acid (added as above)
1 tsp Yeast Nutrient (Ditto)

All of the above were put in the DJ, then the temp was checked. It was 22/23 degrees so the following were added;

1 tsp Yeast Super Wine Yeast Compound
1 tsp Pectolase.
1 tsp Glycerine. (optional)

The airlock was put on, and that's that.


Once the fermentation has finished, it will be racked into a fresh DJ, degassed, and finings and stabaliser added. Left to completely clear, and bottled.
