New to this whole wine making and decided to do a batch of strawberry wine for a request from a buddy. 6 gallon batch with 12 lbs of strawberries that I boiled and 10lbs of sugar. Added my campdon tabs and waited 24 hrs. Pitched my yeast and nothing after 48 hrs. Pitched a second batch of yeast [ 71B ] and after another 12 hrs nothing. Just kept stirring it 3 times a day and finally to my surprise I woke up this morning to a volcano in my 6 gallon pail and one hell of a mess....happy moment for me as I was loosing hope on the batch.
On another note I wanted to know if anyone has made maple syrup wine ? I've got a maple syrup business and this was the reason to get into the wine hobby. I've got 3 different syrup batches going and seems to be fermenting out nice. I'll have to back sweeten I believe since it's maple sweetness is gone. Any suggestions would be great !
Hoping to capitalize on a recipe of maple syrup wine that's drinkable and sellable for a new market for maple syrup product. Thanks guys you all have alot of info on this forum.
