Time to mix up another batch of wine.....
Checked the wine cellar for low supplies, then to the jars of juice and chose to make another batch of Dolgo Crabapple Wine...
Remembering the beautiful fruits on the old tree and fragrant apples...I brought my juice up to begin another batch of....
CRABAPPLE/APPLE WINE
~ 10 1/2 quarts of Dolgo Crabapple Juice [steam extracted]
~ 7 cans frozen apple juice concentrate [to add body and a layered flavor]
~ 1/2 bottle WinExpert Red Grape Concentrate [for color]
~ 6 Campden Tablets
~ 4 tsp Acid Blend
~ 1 tsp Ascorbic Acid [for color retention]
~ 3 tsp Liquid Tannin
~ 3 tsp Pectic Enzyme
~ 6 1/2# Sugar
Water to 6 gallons
S.G. 1.084 [Don't want too high of alcohol...just for grins might ***Sparkle*** half of this batch]
Tomorrow...
Add:
~ 3 tsp Yeast Energizer
~ 6 tsp Yeast Nutrient
~ Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne Yeast
Let the good times roll!
