Yup!Uh oh!
This is a good topic. Will boiling kill everything that could potentially pose a threat? I still have to research this, but it sure makes me think!Yup!
Makes a good case for boiling store bought frozen fruit before making wine from it.
Generally cooking fruit before using it, leads to (oddly enough) a cooked taste for the final wine and isn't very pleasant..
Thanks!I have read that no human pathogen can survive in the low PH, high alcohol environment of wine, but I would toss out anything I had made that might have been from the contaminated fruit.
Poured a 5gallon batch yesterday strawberry didn't realize how pure you can make batch ! Was able to save a couple bottles! DB best recipe every but got stick to the base of it!Pitched yeast on a new batch of DB today. Looks great and smells even better. 8 # of Costco triple berry fruit for 6 g must.

I read that according to the manufacturer the suspect fruit was sold only in CA and HIThanks!
I did some digging and found this downloadable pdf which confirms what you said.

Another thought on the initial SG: As this was initially meant to be an 'early drinker', the lower SG would mean a lower ABV. The alcohol content acts to preserve the wine over time, and I plan to let mine age at least a year. I'm seven months in right now, and plan to bottle soon, then I'll start another batch a little differently. Any thoughts Dave?
