Making wine in the Philippines

[Dedworth]

Nice thread

This is something I've promised myself to take up when I eventually get there.

Do you remember those days when Boots had a whole section on home brewing?
Spoilt for choice then.....mind you their pre-packed beer packs never really tasted that good, but some of their wine packs were OK
Don't know why but I always had better results from basics.

This thread reminds to search for all my old recipes and get them onto storage disk.

Off on a tangent here not Philippines brewing.

I remember my Dad making a lot of wine (orange & raisin was one of his faves) and going with him to 3 independent home brew shops in the local area and buying him bits from Boots for Christmas. The independents have long gone and I don't think Boots stock the products any longer - Wilko do

I was reasonably successful doing beer and lager from a basic tin of concentrate but doing some sort of starter solution from liquid yeast in a poly bag in the airing cupboard. Happy days

I did do some research about making beer here a while back.. Loads of Barley here but it needs to be germinated and sprouted before being brewed..
I still to this day have not been able to find a decent alternative to hops yet but as I become less busy with other things it wont take me long to find one..
