I'm a newbie but loving wine making so far! I have 6 gal. of Mulberry wine in the carboy now. And all signs show that it should be pretty good. I have plenty of sassafras root which I usually make Tea with, so I figured I'd give the wine a try.
I'm using Jack Keller's recipe, with one exception to this point. I made the tea stronger than most, and stronger than he specifies. I love a strong sassafras flavor. I also added my sugar, all 9 cups to my tea while on the stove. I fished out all the root and pieces and added the suger while at a slow and mild boil. It all disolved fine.
That's where I'm at now with it. Getting ready to go clean my primary buckets now. I'll give updates as I go and try to be specific for those that are interested in trying to make a batch as well.
Anyone who has made a batch, any tips? How did it turn out??
