Loquat wine

[bg7mm]

i'm back from a little time away, we're still brewing, I had a delightful surprise recently when we opened a bottle of loquat from last season, 16 months old and I have to say, this is by far my favorite wine, aging treated this wine superbly. any of you tried loquat ? I would recommend you giving it a go if the fruit becomes avalible, you won't be disappointed

good to be back

That is great to hear.
I've been documenting my loquat wine experience on this thread.
What recipe did you use? I was following Keller's, and he calls for almonds in the secondary...was thinking of making it easier on myself with some almond extract.

stress baby, I didn't keep a record of the recipe I used, I do remember I just took a shot in the dark. I recall I used 45 pounds of fruit to make a 6 gallon batch. worked out great . I even came up with a solution to remove the seeds from the pulp. so I used only the juice and pulp and skins on primary fermentation
