Finally got some pictures of goings on!
Got my Concord grape racked over, it's coming really clear, and it's almost the same identical hot red that the blueberry is
The one gallon jug and shots of berries in the buckets are for my Raspberry & Blackberry melomels - thanks to everyone for commenting on my other thread and helping! The one gal is for top up, and they will both be 3 gal batches. I got really lucky on Kijiji and found three more 3 gal carboys for cheap! Woot!
The Riesling is coming along, but is very dry. What are people suggesting for back sweetening on a Riesling? Was thinking to do some bench tests using white sugar, honey, and maybe a generic grape concentrate?
Got the Orange Chocolate Port started too. I should be able to get the Chaptalization started soon.
Looks like our blueberry is going to need help (dend78, I spoke too soon!!), so I'm going to do a trial with my homemade blueberry syrup to see if this will help with the flavour. Right now it's totally yuck.
Wee Man is 5 months old today, and getting baptized on Sunday. Looking forward to serving some of the finished wine to the friends and family!
