The bees are destroying my grapes. I don't think there will be anything left by the time the Brix is where it should be.
What I would like to do is:
Pick Pinot Gris either early in the AM (4 or 5 am) or very late at night with my car headlights on so I can see what I'm doing. Bees should be gone at this time.
Keeping in refrigerator overnight.
Next morning carefully separating bad from good fruit and then crush, press etc etc.
The Brix is 18 1/2. At this level, I know I have to add sugar and probably a lot.
Will this work? Should I just give up (SO MUCH WORK DOWN THE DRAIN)?
How does adding regular sugar change my wine?
Any advice would be appreciated....
