patience grasshopper, i'll get the recipe up soon, i don't have the time on my hands to be here as i did a few days ago. we're still cleaning up after the hurricaine, insurance adjusters been coming for my home and sons house, today a roofer and carpenter are coming over to determine repair cost
mosquitos have come out of the woodwork the past few days, i was trying to get things done at daylight when it was a little cool, but the past few days the little buggers swarm around you so thick you have to keep your mouth closed, a recent case of west nile appeared a mile or so from here so we're being a little careful with the little demons that seem real mad or hungry
good news is the grape and muscadine vines that were completely stripped of their leaves are all showing signs of new leaf growth. i think i may have lost my florida king and florida prince peach trees. a plum tree and a satsuma tree are blooming? only these two trees blooming of the 40 or so we have. everything else seems to be recovering except the pecan trees that had to be cut after the wind layed them down on the ground

no problem jim, on the next batch i make with this recipe i'll add a few bananas. just a tad lite for my taste, i think bananas will do the trick but it is a great strawberry wine as is
jim, the eye passed right over us, infact galliano, the town in live in stayed in the eye for almost 4 hours. the eye of the hurricaine followed bayou lafourche as it move slowly northward. while the eye was over us we all were outside fixing damaged stuff and securing other things then we got it from the opposite direction for a long time also

Thx for sharing the recipe. Hope recovery from the hurricane goes smoothly for you. Quite familiar with storm damage--but more so from tornadoes and extreme wind.
Need to confirm: is the amount of 5 TBSP (tablespoon) of yeast nutrient & 1 TBSP pectic enzyme correct?
How long did you allow it to age after bottling before you started consuming--trying to determine if this is an early drinker, etc.?
Thanks in advance!
