Hello everyone,
I have been sort of "off the reservation" for the last year or so but decided this weekend to get back into the swing of things. I finally used my Mehu-Liisa Steamer and steam juiced a freezer full of frozen muscadines, I ended up with 5 1/2 gallons of juice. I have been searching all morning for info but am running out of time and still don't have the answers I need, hence the call for emergency support!!
Question 1: Should I split the batch into 2 or make one batch with pure juice? (I am planning on adjusting acid with calcium carbonate)
Question 2: Since I have never "steam juiced" before, is there anything else I need to do differently such as add extra pectin for clearing?
Thanks in advance for your help everyone.
