    The document provides several recipes for making dandelion wine, including instructions on preparing dandelion flowers and recommended aging times.

    The flowers should be washed, trimmed of stems, and either added whole or separated into petals and flower heads before being placed in boiling water for a few hours and then strained.

    The recipe on page 2 uses dandelion flowers, grape juice concentrate, sugar, lemon and orange juice and zest, yeast nutrient, water, and wine yeast.

    Dandelion Wine (18)

    • 1 gallon dandelion flowers


    • 3 lbs granulated sugar
    • 1 gallon water
    • wine yeast

    Put water on to boil. Meanwhile, wash flowers and trim off all
    stems. Put flower heads in primary and pour boiling water
    over them. Cover and leave for 5 days. Strain off all solids and
    add sugar, stirring well to completely dissolve. Add activated
    yeast and cover primary. After 14 days rack to secondary and
    fit airlock. Rack and stabilize after 2 months. Wait 2 weeks
    and rack into bottles. [Adapted recipe from H.E. Bravery's
    Home Wine Making Without Failures]

    Dandelion Wine (30)

    • 9 cups dandelion flowers (6 cups dandelion petals and 3 cups


    dandelion flower heads, trimmed)
    • 1 11-oz can Welch's 100% White Grape Juice frozen
    concentrate
    • 1 lb 10 ozs granulated sugar
    • 2 lemons (juice only)
    • 2 oranges (juice only)
    • 1 tsp yeast nutrient
    • ½ tsp pectic enzyme
    • ¼ tsp tannin
    • 6¼ pts water
    • White Burgundy wine yeast
    In primary, combine all ingredients except dandelions and
    yeast. Stir well to completely dissolve sugar. Stir in dandelions,
    over primary and set aside 10-12 hours. Add activated yeast
    and recover primary. Stir twice daily until violent
    fermentation subsides. Pick and prepare flower petals and
    heads. For dandelion flower heads, wash and trim off stems
    only. Put dandelion petals and heads in nylon straining bag
    with 1 dozen sterilized glass marbles for weight. Tie bag and
    submerge in liquid in primary. Gently squeeze and dunk bag
    several times a day for 5 days. Drain bag, squeezing lightly
    only, and transfer liquid to secondary. Fit airlock and rack
    after 2 weeks, topping up and refitting airlock afterward. After
    wine falls clear, wait 2 weeks and rack after adding 1 crushed
    Campden tablet to clean secondary. Thereafter, rack every 2
    months for 6 months, adding another crushed Campden tablet
    during middle racking and stabilizing at last racking. Wait
    another month and rack into bottles. This wine is for the long
    term and for winning competitions, so cellar it for 2 years
    before tasting. [Author's own recipe]

    citrus zest and chopped raisins. Remove from heat and set
    aside to cool. When room temperature, stir in yeast nutrient
    and activated yeast and recover. Stir 3 times daily for 10-14
    days. Strain into secondary and fit airlock. After 3 weeks, rack
