Starting a 2 gallon batch of dandelion wine
2 pounds dandelion petals (boiled and strained, 'tea' added to must)
juice from 6 lemons and 6 oranges
zest from 6 lemons and 6 oranges
water to 2 gallon
1 pound white raisins
Questions I have
1. Jack Keller's recipe calls for zest to be added in primary. Is this best practice or is it better to add in secondary?
2. What specific gravity range should I be starting from? Is there a range for this type of wine?
3. Any other suggestions?
