Hello every body,
I have been coming here for awhile but never posted before but am a regular on Midwest's forum.
was having a problem with account bit George fixed it up for me now I'm good.
Thanks George!
Thought I would post a wine I started recently.
</font>4lb black grapes
24oz black berries
12 oz black cherries
2 cans welches black(purple) grape juice concentrate
2 cups dried hibiscus
no water
no sugar
lalvin EC-118
SG 1.144</font>
After taking the bag with the fruit rinds out this made 1¼</span></span> gallons
The ¼ gallon I added 2.5 cups of sugar to and water to 1 gallon and restarted fermentation.
after racking from primary I added American white oak cubes and will which have been in there for
three weeks. I am racking now and will taste.
Very good imo. a little strong on the taste but the second batch is a little week
the first batch gravity is 1.010
second fermented out dry .990
I think I am going to combine the two before bottling.
the black wine came out with a slight smokey red start but finishes fruity and Flowery. You can definitely taste the hibiscus.
going to wait a month and rack again then I will update..... should have made 6gallon batch.
