Starting Blueberry

[MedPretzel]

15 lbs frozen blueberries
12 lbs sugar
5 tsp yeast nutrient
1 1/4 tsp tannin
5 tsp acid blend
5 Campden tablets
2 1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
water for 5 gallons
1 packet Montranchet yeast





Is this recipe okay? I swiped it from the internet.

Looks just right to me.

put some yeast energizer in too and be sure to get some oxygen in at the start.

Oh, I usually do, but thanks for reminding me.





I have to clear up some primaries to do this one, since it's the first "15 pounds 'o' fruit" wine I'm actually doing. I am usually into dry stuff that I get from my supplier, so I have to split it into 2 primaries. (2.5 gallons each).





But I have learned the importance of energizer yet again. I started a "hard lemonade" (lemonade wine) not too long ago, and without energizer. I bought some, dumped some, and presto! Fermentation.





Thanks for reminding me!
