Hi, I started a mint wine recently and thought I'd snap a few pictures during the process. George, move the topic as you see fit.
The frozen mint in the carboy, waiting for.....
boiling water. First I have to add.....
Sugar, which I did, and brought to a boil.
Then, I poured the
Water to the mint and balm. The steam is seen in the pic!
The starting SG was 1.085, and I'm keeping it there.
Today, I added the rest of the ingredients, as well as yeast (Lalvin 72B-1122). Cellar temps today were (ambient) 70*. Might move the concoction up tomorrow morning, but am unsure.
Slow fermentation, so it seems. Even with the addition of nutrient and energizer.
