Dried Fruits Herbs and Flowers

Just to make life easy for you! Check the recipes page for how to use these- Or mail us and we'll post up a recipe!

Dried fruit and berries. Lots of different types of home made wine can be made from these.

Try adding some dried fruit to your kit wines for a better homebrew wine! You'll need to add a teaspoon

of pectolase to prevent cloudiness!

About 50 grams of Elderflowers adds a nice bouquet to a five gallon wine kit- Just add them to the wine when you add the yeast

Some of these are also used in speciality beers, such as Hoegarten, and the spiced wheat beers.

Dried Elderberries in 500g

Dried elderberries. The picture is the fresh ones! They used to be the staple of home winemaking. They are very good for producing full bodied red wines. Use about 250 gr per gallon/6 bottles if used on their own.

You can add them to a red wine kit to improve body and flavour, about 50g a gallon is plenty!

Dried Elderflowers in 50g

Dried Elderflowers- make a gorgeous white wine. Or you can add to a wine kit for a bit of bouquet. I'd use about a small table spoon per gallon- Use the full 50g if you're after an elderflower wine!

Dried Juniper Berries 100g

They use to make gin, if you didn't know!

You can make a juniper berry wine, or add them to the sauce for your venison steak.

They also use them for a juniper beer, called Sahti. If mashing use about 25g to 80g per 5 gall. or make a juniper tea with them and just add the liquor with the yeast

It's an odd flavour especially at the high dose!

Dried Rose Petals 50g

The dried petals of roses! They smell gorgeous. They make a nice delicate wine, use the full 50g for a gallon and go easy on the alcohol.

Dried Rosehips in 500g

The whole dried rosehip. The same as they used to make rosehip syrup out of.

Taste like a sort of sherry when the wine is made, not unpleasant!

Whole Raw Wheat in 500g

Just wheat nothing else, the husks are off and it's ready to use.

Used in Cumberland brandy and wheat whisky etc.

You usually use 500 g with a Kg of raisins but it does vary from recipe to recipe

Don't use it for wheat beer! You want malted wheat for that!

Sweet Orange Peel 50 G

Used in some exotic beer recipes.

Curacao Orange Peel 100g

Used in exotic beer recipes-- This is just the peel which is exactly the bit you want

Raspberry Juice Concentrate 100ml

Concentrated raspberry juice- Enough for making 5 gallons of raspberry beer. You'll need either a beer kit or some malt etc.

Add to the fermenting bucket.

Would also make a gallon of raspberry wine - Quite a strong flavour!

Concentrated Black Cherry Juice 100ml

Again, enough for the flavouring of five gallon of cherry beer.

Dried Coriander Seed for Beermaking

Dried seed of the coriander plant, these are the ones for making the exotic Belgian Wheat beers
