I'm new to the forum and to making wine. I purchased a beginners kit from my local supply bus. and using recipe included. Using my fruit I had in freezer to use for this purpose.
I started out with 5# Rhubarb, 2lb sugar, 1 campden, 1/2oz Precip Chalk, 1/2 tsp pectric enzyme - after 3 days SG was 1.120 (Seemed a little higher than what I wanted. I was looking for about 1.095.
I added 1/4 cup of wht grape concentrate, 7 pts water, 1/4 tsp tannin, 1 tsp nutrient . SG now at 1.054 . Added Montrachet yeast and it appears to have started working.
Next step says: Stir daily and transfer to glass secondary when SG at 1.040 (3-5 days).
Let me know what details I have forgotten. Any comments/questions people have on what this looks like so far will be appreciated.
