. I'm only doing 3gal so I can taste it b4 I make larger amounts. This is where I am so far. I tasted the wine from what was leftover after filling 3gal Carboy. If was very watery and potent very little fruity flavor.
First is this normal so far and once I add the sugar and bottle for a few months should the fruity flavors from the fruit come forward and taste sweet from the sugar while being less potent.
Should anything be changed/added or start over. Thanks for your help and opinions.
3gallons dragons blood.
25oz realemon juice
12 cups white sugar
1.082 Temp 178
1/2 tsp. Tannin
1 1/2 tsp. Yeast nutrient
1/2 tsp. Yeast energizer
1 1/2 tsp. Pectin enzyme
Up to 3 gallon mark of water
3lbs of frozen berry blend and lil extra fresh mixed berries
EC-1118 Yeast
1 1/2 weeks later .996- transferred to Carboy added 1/4potassium metabisulphate/1 1/2sorbate and then bentonite.
Degassed like it stole something
Today added super kleer K.C.
Any and all input is needed.
