brewing 2ne1
A log on homebrewing by a band of merry persons.
Six months have passed so I thought I’d better rack the nettle wine. Should have done it 3 months ago. It has cleared a little more. The plan now is to leave it in the demijohns a couple of months to clear a little more and then I’ll bottle it.
Marcus’s Vine-o-meter measured 10% but I don’t believe it. I thought it tasted rather more alcoholic than that. The specific gravity is now 0.99 but that does not help much because, checking through this blog, I’ve discovered that I didn’t measure the S.G. of the nettle wine when I racked it first time around!
It tastes dry, quite strongly of nettle. Sort of like a strong still nettle ale. Which isn’t too surprising I suppose. There wasn’t much depth of flavour or viscosity to it. We’ll see if time improves it.
