Wheat Wine

Ingredients:

• 1lb wheat
• 2lbs sultanas, chopped
• 1lb old potatoes, chopped finely
• 4lbs sugar
• 1oz yeast
• 2 grapefruits
• 1 gallon of hot water

Method:

• Put the wheat, sultanas, potatoes, sugar and juice and rind of the grapefruits into a pan.
• Pour on the hot water and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
• Activate the yeast and add when the mixture has cooled to lukewarm.
• Leave to ferment for 21 days.
• Strain and bottle - into a demijohn with a trap fitted is safest - but it should have "finished" by this time.
