I worked with the strawberry over the weekend and I'm not real happy with the taste. It has a bitter taste. The acid was a little low (.55) so I added acid blend to bring it up to .625. Also back sweetened to +5 Brix. I have a total of 8 gallons, and the above was done on 3 of the 8. I still...

Honesty I haven't tasted it yet, it smells really good though. I'm going to be working with it over the weekend, I will taste then. But thanks for letting me know you've used the Strawberry Breeze, now I know it works. I will taste and decide Saturday which to do - back sweeten with sugar and...

I did a batch of Apple last winter and used frozen concentrate to back sweeten. It turned out really good. I was looking for strawberry concentrate hoping for the same result. But to my surprise haven't found any yet. I think Welches makes a strawberry breeze frozen concentrate. Has anyone ever...

I have my first 6 gal batch for Apple wine made from fresh pressed cider. It has been fermented to completely dry and currently aging. The problem I have with it is it tastes like -- nothing, flat would be another way to describe. Acid is in the .6 range. What can I do it to give it some...
