This fabulous homemade Feijoa Wine recipe is perfect for Autumn and Winter. As the feijoas fall from your hedge or trees, just gather them up and think about all that free feijoa wine you'll be enjoying...
Ingredients
- 5 kg whole feijoa scoop out the flesh, freeze, thaw then squash it
- 6 litres boiling water
- 2 camden tablets from home brewing stores
- 1 sachet wine yeast from home brewing stores
- 2 tsp yeast nutrients from home brewing stores
- 4 kg sugar you can get away with less, say 2-3kg but fermentation will take longer
- 2 litres water
Instructions
- Place the feijoa pulp, boiling water and camden tablets in a big bucket with a lid and stir twice a day for three days.
- Strain into another bucket (cover it with cheesecloth to keep the bugs out) or a large fermenting bin (fitted with an airlock if possible) and add the wine yeast, yeast nutrients, sugar and the extra 2L of water.
- Leave until it stops bubbling... which could be a month, or several. Then bottle.
