Dandelion wine

PSFD DONKEY

opened a bottle I made last year. It is by far the nastiest s**t I've ever tasted. I don't no where I went wrong. Guess I'll use it for weed killer[V]

You might of gone wrong with the making it out of Dandelion part.[}:)]
Actually the Hutterites here make some pretty fair Dandelion wine.
They like to trade it for beer around here.

i've had a recipe for years, but never could get passed picking them up off the ground where something may have pizzed all over them

The first time I made it --- Not so great ---
Just use the flower part --NO GREEN --
Ferment with a pound of raisins for the tannin
Found in grapes or your Dandelion wine will have
a bad medicine taste ---

Good Luck

Only drank it once. Tasted like rubbing alcohol.

Slipgate, got a recipe you'd like to share, I'm about ready to give up on making wine.

BEET wine is GREAT ---

Again you have to add raisins or tannin ==

I have 5 gallons of it, made by my late PaPa and is at least 15 years old and older. It is excellent.

I also have 3 cases of other homemade wines made by him, which varies in age from 5-30 years.
