Fruit wine from a smoothie base?

[McSooner]

Howdy all, this is my first post here. I am an experienced brewer now getting into winemaking. I'll be doing mostly MM kits, but I also happen to have quite a bit of Island Oasis frozen smoothie base. This is pureed fruit (I have strawberry, raspberry, mango and peach) with just a bit of lemon juice or acidic acid added, depending on the fruit. There are no artificial colors or preservatives added to these. Any thoughts?

I don't see why you can't make wine with it. Heck, I made wine out of Kool Aid once just to prove to a friend that I could. As long as it doesn't have Potasium Sorbate in it it should work just fine.




Oh, and welcome to the forum!!


If you don't find an answer to your winemaking questions here, then the answer does not exist.Edited by: whino-wino

With no preservatives it should work....I would think watch your starting SG. and do an acid test and you should be good to go...
