Bottled my coffee wine

[james1988]

Evening all,
I bottled my Coffee Wine tonight that started fermenting on the 19/09/2011. It stopped about 10 days ago so I added finings and left it to clear. It's had a consistent gravity since then so I decided to bottle it.

I made it using the following recipe for 1 Gallon:
4 Tbsp of whatever coffee was in the jar
1.50 kg sugar - I think it was this amount, it's been a while!
Juice of 1 lemon
yeast and nutrient

I got the recipe from another forum but something is telling me I added more than 1.25kg (advised in the original recipe) of Sugar. I think it was more like 1.50kg.
Anyway SG: 1126
FG: 1002
~16.8%

Quick picture


It's quite smooth, warming and has a bit of a bite to it. I'm impressed! It was my first wine as well.

I made Coffee wine from a recipe in a book way back in about 1982, and the book called it white wine, I was a bit disapointed that it was actually brown. I had it out in an outhouse in a demijohn and left it forgotten for nearly 2 years. When I found it again I tried it and it tasted like sherry!

It was very likely oxidised.
