Liked on Facebook for my entry. Now waiting for the official conformation of my win!:sm

I'm in. PICK ME, PICK ME!.

For what it is worth, my batch of Mad Mango took approx. 2-1/2 weeks to clear using Super Kleer! I would be patient, it should clear.

I had to try it. But I did it Dragonette style.(no lemon juice, used acid blend instead) I pitched the yeast to a batch Sunday afternoon.(4/05) :db:db I just took the photo, I should have taken a picture before I punched the top down about an hour ago. Make sure you have lots of head space...

Thanks all.

Dave, I'm going to try a DB variation with only bananas. I am going to used 30 lbs. of chunked up banana with peels on, and 30 lbs. without peels.(trying for some flavor from this light fruit) I read somewhere that banana peels have a lot of tannin. My question is, do you think I should use...

No James?:sh Major bummer...:rn

Bill, it was recommended to me to use 6 -10 lbs. per gallon for the mango wine, I only used 5 lbs. per gallon because I bought all they had left. I am not sure I would try it with much less, unless you want to back-sweeten with a mango concentrate. My understanding is that lighter color...

I found the frozen mango chunks locally at a store called Jungle Jim's. They had them for approx. $8.00 for 2.50 lbs.. I have heard they are also available at Trader Joe's. I hope you can find some, it is worth it. If you were to get fresh mangoes, you should be aware that, "The sap of...

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I did not use any lemon juice, I used 3 teaspoons of acid blend in it's place, and I used 6 lb. per gallon of fruit(30 lb. total), all else is by the recipe.

Mad mango I like all the different DB's I have made but, I have a new favorite! Just bottled 31 bottles of mango DB. I call it, MAD MANGO! Starting sg was 1.1, ending sg was .986. I used 30 lbs frozen mango chunks for a 6 gallon batch. Mangos leave a lot of sediment suspended, it...

Congrat's on your first batch of DB. But it is not time to relax just yet, you need to start another batch now, this stuff don't last...:dg Nice wine rack too!

I have been using 3 - teaspoons per 6 - gallon on previous batches. On the batch I'm starting today I only used 1-1/2 teaspoons to see what it's like.

Yes I do. 890

MAD MANGO fermenting. Day 3. Listen to the bubbling... Used 30 lbs. of frozen mango chunks to make 6 - gallons wine. No lemon juice, using acid blend. Day 1 the starting SG was 1.1, on Day 3 it is 1.086 EC-1118 yeast. The smell is outstanding! Only wish I had more mangos to start...

The wife and I are not big on lemons, so I have substituted 3 tsp. of acid blend in each 6 gallon batch, and not used any lemon juice at all. (Dave recommend this for those that want a lower acid wine. He calls it the "Dragonette" version.) The Triple Berry, and Blueberry versions I have made...

I am in the process of a 12 gallon batch of DB that I used double the fruit in. That was 24 lbs. of frozen Triple Berry. The SG just dropped below 1.0 and after removing the fruit bag and squeezing all the juice out I decided to weigh the remainder, and ended up with just 4.29 lbs. of...

If they ever give you a bottle of 'Bookers', I'd like to offer my own professional disposal service! I'll even pony up for the shipping cost to my disposal site!

So I need another 45 lbs to make 6 - gallons? Good thing they are frozen. I am going to have to save up a while for that. 60 lbs. at $5.88 for 2.5 lbs. = $141.88!:mny Thanks for the reply james. I knew that it had a light flavor, but I didn't realize it took that much fruit to...
