Made in a 5L demijohn.

Ingredients:

  • 3x Seedless Raspberry Jam 420g
  • Lalvin EC-1118 yeast
  • Pectinase enzyme
  • Fermaid-O 10g

I believe now that this is more nutrients than necessary.

I have made other beverages before but never a fruit wine!

It's drinkable right now but not perfect. Probably needs some aging. I was brewing in non-ideal conditions with large temperature fluctuations and sunlight because it was outside. I would also consider using a yeast designed for fruit wines or red wines. Mangrove Jacks have a couple yeasts for fruit wines you could try. I can say that it is very cheap to experiment with! Each jar costs only £1.15 (about $1.50 for the Americans) from Morrison's supermarket which is common all over England.
