Has anybody ever made fig wine?.........I will have more figs than I know what to do with.......and I am thinking I will try some fig wine......also plan on making pear and plum.....Beth
i dont know about figs, but we made a pear last fall as our first ever wine. it turned out super. we used all juice, no water added. the abv was 11.3. were making a grapefruit now, but still have some questions about that.
Here is a recipe from Jack Keller's Site for fresh fruit fig winehttp://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques6.asp
Two things I've learned about Jack's wines - use more fruit, sometimes twice as much and add sugar to 1080-1085, don't add the amount he suggests because sometimes its too much.
Also the addition of an f-pack to help add more fruit flavor back after its been stabilized is a good idea. Just do a search on this site, I think Tepe has instructions on how to make one.
