So I made a gallon of Blueberry Bliss.
I have heard that with grapes one can make a second wine batch from the crushed grapes. So, I have started a Second wine batch with the crushed Blueberries I had in the straining bag.
Here is what I added:
Start Date 8/3/2013
2 cans of Old Orchard Blueberry Pomegranate
6 cans of water -- This brought just over a gallon.
2 tsp Acid Blend
1/8 tsp Tannin
1/2 tsp yeast nutrients
At this point my starting SG was 1.042
To get the SG up I added 1 lb 4 oz of sugar to raise SG to 1.110
No additional yeast was added
As of this morning the yeast was bubbling the must hard.
My Costs:
Cost for the Old Orchard juice $1.30 on sale after doubled coupons ($1 of of four) at Rainbow Foods.
Sugar $1.77 for a 4 lb bag at Rainbow Foods.
Total cost for this gallon: $3.15
If it turns out it a 750 ml bottle would be $0.63.
Perhaps, I'll put a portion of a spiral in it during aging.
I will keep this board up to date as it progresses.
