3 - 64 oz bottles juice

1 tsp pectin enzyme
1 tsp yeast energizer
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 tsp acid blend

PH is at 3.2 - 3.4 range
SG started at 1.020
Added 1 lb sugar bringing the SG up to 1.095

Pitching the yeast tomorrow.

And, I drink my wines using Dixie Cups; no broken glass on my floor when I drop a cup.

I must be a hick.
