Cabbage Wine

[sully]

Hey Guy and Gals

Thinking about trying some cabbage wine. Has anyone attempted this before. I really like flavor of honey and cabbage so was thinking of incorporating honey. Any thoughts or suggestions/ recipes????

Don't believe I can help you much with this one, but fermented cabbage equals sourkraut. Are you sure you want to mix that with honey?? LOL, Arne.

 

[Bartman]

Yeah, I agree with Arne. That flavor combination does not get me excited - but I'll try anything once and I have been pleasantly surprised before.

What recipe calls for combining honey with cabbage? That just sounds weird to put those together in one sentence.

Has anyone had cabbage wine??? Is it Good???

Sauerkraut is a product of pickling called lacto-fermentation. Wine is a product of alcoholic fermentation. The two use either fungi or bacteria. Yeast is a fungi. Grapes can be pickled, and cabbage can undergo a alcoholic fermentation. What your yield of fermentables would be, and whether you would want to drink it is another matter.
