I'm sitting here...can't sleep, & was thinking about a Song I heard while growing Up..''Old Dogs & Children & Watermelon Wine'' I wondered what exactly is Watermelon Wine., I had heard of Strawberry Wine, even Elderberry Wine I've never tasted either... When I hear the song, I think of Lazy Sunny Summer Days, with Kids running around playing..with dogs laying around on the porch...I have many Favorite songs....but Only a Few that actually create an image, a picture... reminding me of Something,Some place or an Experience, etc.. Anyone tasted either?? It's Open for Any Discussion....Have a Great Weekend!!...T/C

Date: 7/25/2003 5:19:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    The song was released by Tom T. Hall in 1972, he is a very good songwriter/storyteller. Watermelon wine is made from watermelon juice and is very good. Its kinda like a watermelon with a kick to it!!

Date: 7/29/2003 3:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 62074    Nice post! Here ya go! Ingredients
8 cups watermelon juice
1/8 teaspoon tannin
3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 campden tablets
1 teaspoon nutrients
2 1/2 teaspoons acid blend
1 package wine yeast
8 cups water


Remove rind and cube the watermelon flesh. Use an electric juicer or place cubes in a nylon straining bag and crush, squeezing out the juice. Pour into the primary fermentor. Add all other ingredients except the yeast. Stir well to dissolve sugar. Let sit over night.

The next day, check the specific gravity. It should be between 1.090 and 1.100. Add yeast and mix in well. Cover primary fermentor. Stir daily for five days or until frothing stops. Put into secondary fermentor and place airlock on the bottle.

For a dry wine, Rack in three weeks and return to secondary fermentor. Rack again in three months, and every three months until 1 year old. Bottle.

For a sweet wine, rack at three weeks. Add 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup wine. Stir gently, and place back into secondary fermentor. Repeat process every six weeks until fermentation does not restart with the addition of sugar. Rack every three months until one year old. Bottle.

Ths wine is best if you can refrain from drinking it for a year and a half from the date it was started.
