Your Fermentary Vermouth Kit - Instructions
What You'll Need:
- Your Fermentary spice mix
- 1-4 litres of wine (red or white)
- A large jar or container for infusing
- Strainer or cheesecloth
- Bottles for storage
Instructions:
- Choose Your Wine: We recommend red wine for the best results – a good quality boxed wine works beautifully (we've had excellent results with Brown Brothers 10L boxes). White wine also works if you prefer a lighter vermouth.
- Add Your Spice Mix: Use approximately 1 tablespoon of spice mix per litre of wine. Feel free to adjust to your taste preferences.
- Infuse: Let the spices steep in the wine for about one week at room temperature. Give it a gentle shake or stir every couple of days.
- Strain: Pour your vermouth through a fine strainer or cheesecloth to remove the spices.
- Sweeten (Optional): Taste your vermouth. If you'd like it slightly sweeter, add a touch of honey or sugar to taste. We typically enjoy ours without added sweetness.
- Bottle & Store: Pour into clean bottles. Once opened, keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.
Enjoy your handcrafted vermouth in cocktails (makes a great Negroni) or simply over ice - add dried or fresh orange slice to this to be a bit extra).
