Orange Banana
10 Oranges
1 Lbs Banana's including skins
1/2 lbs raisins
3 lbs of sugar
1 Gallon of water
Yeast nutrient
wine Yeast (Lalvin k1v116
Pectin Enzine
Typical recipe, oranges I put thru a juicer and kept he pulp, boiled the peels 30 minutes, chopped banana's and raisins. Sugar was dissolved in hot but not boiling water. Pecting added 24 hours later.
My fermenting bucker is placed on a warmer, actually a heating pad for animals. the temps around 72 degree's. there is a great smell, lots of foam, etc. My starting Spec Gravity starting point is 1950, and three day's later it is at 1625.
I have not seen fermenting wine SG go down so fast, is this normal? But then my first to wines I have made have not been on a heating pad.
My other question is should I have added some acid blend? it never called for it but then it never called for Pectin either.
As usual love the advice here, so fire away..............................
