    *Edit - I found the wheat in the smaller print. Must be to assume a sour mash flavor *

    I'm curious where in the recipe the wheat/barley comes into play. It is in the ingredient list but missing from the preparation steps. I just froze 6# of carrots yesterday to make into wine and am weighing my options as to what recipe to use and this is the first I have found using grains. Could the grains be replaced with malted barley or malt extract? Or are they meant to be used as a sour mash flavor?

    I know that you can make wine from almost anything. I spoke with a freind about this recipe and he tells me that it is great. I have to give this a five Forks! He has never stirred me wrong.
