Am just double checking this recipe before I begin. I am using a recipe from a book "Mary's Recipes"
One gallon
4-6 lbs peaches
1lb white granulated sugar or until the sp gr is 1.085
Add enough water to make a gallon
1 campden tablet
1tsp acid blend
1tsp yeast nutrient powder
1/4 tsp tannin powder
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
Champagne yeast
They suggest a staring specific gravity of 1.085 for 11% alcohol
Suggested fruit acid should be .5% to .6%
Other yeast suggestions Cote des blanc
I am substituting mangos for peaches. I am also using Montrachet yeast.
I have 25lbs of fresh mangos that have been frozen in my freezer for the last week.
Question: I am multiplying every thing by 5 except for the yeast ??
Question: when I make the must do I heat the water and sugar to dissolve the sugar?? I don't have to boil the must right??? Just heat it enough for the sugar to dissolve well.
How does this look??
