Hi Group!
My name is Scoop. I grew up in southern Alabama on a farm. My grandmother always made wine from plum and peach trees annually. I've been reading the threads and have learned some amazing stuff here! But I wanted to share something with the group.
My granny didn't use all of the ingredients that the group talks about. The wine always tasted great, the customers loved it, and it was always better than the wine you'd but at the store. She'd simply smash the plums or peaches, but sugar in it (in a five gallon bucket), and cover it with a soft cloth. She'd strain it after the fermentation process was over and sweeten it throughout the process. The taste changed as it aged. It was always awesome!
Well, I tried it and have finally profected this! Does anyone else keep it simple? Pros n cons?
