Another Weak Peach Wine-Solution?

[roadwarriorsvt]

So I made a 5 gallon batch of Vinters Harvest peach. I knew that with just the 96 oz. can of peaches/juice, it would be weak so I ordered a 4 oz. bottle of peach flavoring for beer & wine. It is still very weak. I was going to make an F-pak with 10 lbs. of peaches, but that would be over $30.00! Would it be a problem to add some peach extract such as this? http://www.amazon.com/All-Star-Extracts-Peach-Flavor/dp/B00792SGFI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&m=A1VS1T7AVFZVYX&qid=1342501786&s=generic&sr=1-7

Check out Welches White Grape + Peach frozen concentrate
I think its what you're looking for, although it does add some sweetness

To actually answer your question, i havent used an extract but theres lots of members who have - hopefully some of them chime in

Thanks D. So far, I can only find the Welch's White Grape/Peach jugs of juice, no concentrates! I'll widen my search. I'm still a little on the dryer side so I've got room for some F-pac sweetness.

Anyone else use extracts?

I have not used peach extract. I have used strawberry extract, and also blueberry concentrate. Both worked well.

I have also heard of winemakers using peach jelly (not preserves) as a combo flavoring and sweetener. You might check your local chain grocery.

Geez, I keep thinking of stuff to add. The addition of mango juice also helps boost the flavor of peach, though it is no longer a purely peach flavor then.

You can simmer the bottled juice down by half to remove the water. It works well and I have done this with skeeter pee.

 

[Sammyk]

Even the frozen cans contain water - the label says it contains filtered water. So I simmer them down too so as to not add any water to dilute the wine.

 

[roadwarriorsvt]

Thanks for the suggestions. I may try another bottle of extract and if I still need more flavor,try the other options.

 

[Sammyk]

Another suggestion is too look for extract instead of flavoring. I don't like putting flavoring in my wine. It gives it an artificial taste.

What to do?

IF YOUR WINE ISN'T TO SWEET THEN MAYBE YOU CAN BUY A REALLY GOOD PEACH PRESERVE ,SLIGHTLY COOK IT DOWN (ENOUGH TO BRAKE DOWN THE COMPONENTS) ADD THIS STYLE FPAC TO THE JUICE,IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO CLEAR BUT IT WILL ADD FLAVOR ENOUGH TO NOTICE, WITHOUT DESTROYING THE OVERALL PRODUCT

 

[saramc]

What about adding peach pancake syrup? Or the peach coffee syrups---Monin brand comes to mind?

Off the beaton path

THINKS THATS A LITTLE OF THE PATH?

I may try an extract first, then the peach preserves if it still needs flavor/backsweetening.
