Ive started a 6 gallon batch of Apple Wine. I intend to finish this sweet as an icewine style dessert wine. I obtained 6 gallons of fresh cider from a orchard near me and am following the recipe below. I'll provideas many pictures as possiblefor this batch. I had to make due with this picture using an old digital camera so sorry for the dark picture, it's all I had
Recipe
6 gallons cider
1 TSP/gal yeast nutrient (6 TSP total)
1/8 TSP/gal Pectic Enzyme (3/4 TSP total)
1.5 TSP/gal Acid Blend (9 TSP total)
1/4 TSP/gal Grape Tannin (1.5 TSP total)
All ingredients are currently mixed and stirred well into my primary awaiting the 24 hour mark at which I'll be pitching a packet of Lalvin EC-1118.
The initial SG of the untouched cider was 1.048 (~6% ABV)
The mustwas chaptalized to 1.112 (~15% ABV)
This took 10 lbs of sugar dissolved into the must.
