Ordered Riesling Juice from Brazil..Now What?

[Davolous]

I have never made grape wine (excluding Welchs). Anyhow local place sells grape juice twice a year in the spring from Brazil and fall from the US.

The juice comes in a bucket and I was told all I have to do is pitch yeast.

I will check and record the gravity and PH. I know enough to rack, clear, and age it.

Any other prep suggestions?

Is there a gravity/PH spec I should alt to?

or suggested yeast?

Where are you getting the juice bucket from. There really isn't much you need to do and some of these juice buckets have yeast innoculated in them when you get them. You seem to have it down right.

Agree with the above. Most juice buckets have already been adjusted for PH, but I would test it just to be sure.
