All,
I made a 1 gal batch of orange wine from fresh organic oranges and it has a heavy taste of "rind" to it. It is still pretty young so I am wondering if that taste will with age? Here is what I put in the mix... 11 large organic oranges (soaked the rinds from 1/2 of the oranges overnight then removed them and added the juice of the oranges), .5 cup raisin's (chopped), 5 cups sugar to a original SG of 1.082, pectic enzyme, tannin and yeast nutrient. Final SG was .996 and added sorbate and back sweetened with a 1.25 cups of simple syrup to back sweeten to ta final SG of 1.012.
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions. I would like to make a 5 gal batch but I was playing with this 1gal batch to get it right.
