The recipe calls for:
10 Pomegranates
1/2 lb. barley
2 1/4 lb. sugar
2 tsp. citric acid
1 gallon water
yeast and nutrient
We went for 5 gals. of the stuff and had:
48 Pomegranates peeled and put through a blender on chop. Yielded ~3 gals. fruit.
Then 2 gallons filtered water with 2 lbs. barley boiled and simmered for 9.5 minutes (should have been 5 mins. Oops) added to must and cooled to 85F. Added 9 lbs. sugar + 8 tsp. citric acid + 5 tsp. yeast nutrient + topped off with water to 5 1/2 gallon mark.

I have one quote stating "tastes like a cheap Zinfandel". Later this has decent taste and finish, but the nose is very strong - you imagine taking a sip of Everclear, but the taste is smooth. Rate it a "OK if desperate" wine, and drink for the novelty.
