So I recently had access to a large quantity of sunflower petals...So my initial thought was can I make wine from these? Of course I could... Found a recipe by Jack Keller and followed it and have been preparing the must over the last several days. All ingredients were added and last night it was time to pitch the yeast using QA23 Lalvin recommended by my local shop. Guess what I forgot to do??? Forgot to take an initial specific gravity prior to adding the yeast. I looked this morning prior to coming to work and it is fermenting. Looking forward to trying this. I know the wine will be "ok" without the starting reading but I hate when I forget things like that. Just a newbie error I guess. Didn't forget on the last two batches...
