dried rosehips - 500g bag

Tony's Tips,

Dried Rosehips are as good for wine as the fresh article! just re-hydrate these rose hips in water overnight and then crush, cut or chop them up and add Vinclasse brewing sugar and juice from a Lemon. Pour boiling water over the mixture and stir to fully dissolve the sugar, when cooled to about 20C add yeast and Leave covered in a warm place for a couple of weeks stirring daily. Then strain the liquor through a nylon bag and put into demijohns. Fit an airlock and continue to ferment until the wine clears, (approx. 3 months.) Rack off into clean demijohns and store in bulk for a further 3 months before racking again and then bottling. For a more detailed recipe, please look in the Articles section of the Balliihoo website. Everyone agrees Rosehips are good for you and wine-drinkers say Rosehip wine is even better for you!
