Hi I'm looking for a recipe for Lime and Raisin wine. Not a kit though as I want to make it from scratch.
Anyone know where I might find it or have one they would like to share ?
TIA

Here is a recipe for raisin wine.
4 lbs. Raisins 1 tsp. K2S205 10% solution, or 1 campden tablet 1 Tbs. Citric acid = 12 Tbs. Lemon Juice ~ 4 lemons 2/3 US gal. Water (2.5 quarts) 1 packet yeast [yeast nutrient] [pectic enzyme]Put raisins, 2.5 qts. water, and K2S205 in a primary. Cover and let soak for a week Check SG (different brands of raisins vary immensely in sugar content). Add water or sugar until SG=1.095. Adjust TA to .65. Add yeast and nutrient. Keep under airlock at 70ºF. Stir or shake daily. When ferment slows down, transfer to secondary, and top up. Rack about a month after fermentation ends, and every 2-3 months thereafter until clear.
Then, and only then, add your lime juice for flavoring, if you wish. In my experience, lime will always cause a fermentation to stick.
Another note: Raisin wine must be aged for at least two years before it is drinkable.
Lime Wine
2 dozen limes1lb raisins, chopped
4lbs sugar1 gallon water
1 tsp yeast nutrientwine yeast
Peel limes and set aside.
Place peels in fermenter.
Dissolve sugar in 2 quarts boiling water; pour over peelings and let stand for 24 hours.
Squeeze limes. Combine remaining 2 quarts water with raisins and lime juice.
Squeeze limes in a separate container.
Strain peel-water mixture into raisins and lime juice mixture and discard the peels; add yeast and nutrient,
and put entire mixture into fermenter. Ferment for 2 weeks, stirring daily.
Strain and pour into secondary fermenter.
Age for at least 8 months.
