Damson Port On The Go At Last

[3175darren 1,093]

Well I finally managed to scrounge enough Damsons, as the crop up here has been crap, really poor to say the least, anyway this recipe I made 10/15 yr ago, but I lost the recipe when I moved up here, but found it last week, I have to say it was the best port I have ever made, but took a long time 18 months, any way the ingredients,

 

 

4 lbs Damsons

½ lb Rice

½ lb Wheat

1 lb Raisins

4 lb Sugar

Yeast

1 gal Water

 

Pour boiling water over damsons and leave for 7 days.

This liquid should then be turned with stirred

 

Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.

Then add the rice, wheat and Raisins and creamed yeast

Leave for 20 days. Strain and bottle

Keep for 18 months+

 

 

I thought I would put this up as it was a really good drink although takes time, I love home brewing so I am starting up again,and the recipe for ginger beer posted recently it gave me the kick I needed to get set off, I particularly like the hedgerow wines old recipes, my damsons were frozen,
