BARLEY WINE

 

Ingredients:

1 lb. barley
1 lb. raisins
1 lb. potatoes
3 1⁄2 lb. preserving sugar
Yeast, yeast nutrient
1 gallon hot water
The juice of two lemons
1 Campden tablet

Method:

Scrub (or peel if old) and chop the potatoes; grind the barley and raisins in a mincer, having soaked the grain in a pint of the water overnight. Put sugar, barley, potatoes and raisins in bowl and pour on hot (not necessarily boiling) water.

Add the juice of the lemons. Allow to cool until tepid; add the crushed Campden tablet, yeast and nutrient. Leave it to stand in covered pan for 10 days, stirring well daily.

Strain, put into fermenting vessel, and fit trap. Siphon off into bottles when clear and no longer fermenting. Ready after about 6 months.
