Recipe planning

Wine Recipe Designer

Build a starting recipe around the ingredients you have, then adjust it to suit your batch, style and target strength.

Step 1

Choose your ingredients

70% primary / 30% secondary
Step 2

Set the batch

This is a planning tool, not a laboratory formulation. Ingredient quantities and targets are starting estimates; follow the relevant CountryWine recipe where one exists.

Your recipe

Generate a recipe to begin.

Choose a primary ingredient, set your batch size and target strength, then generate a practical starting point.

How to use it

Start with what you have.

Pick the ingredient you want to use most, add a secondary ingredient if you want to experiment with a blend, choose your batch size and decide whether you want a dry, medium or sweet result.

The generator then gives you estimated gravity targets, supporting ingredients and a broad method suited to the ingredient category.

For best results

Use the generator as a starting point. Country wines vary enormously in sugar, acidity, tannin and water content, so hydrometer readings and tasting should guide the final adjustments.
