Well, I went with the Welch's White Grape Peach juice saturday. Made up a six gallon batch, added the pectic enzyme, kmeta, nutrient, energizer, and added enough sugar to get me up to 1.112-1.113(or est. 15% ABV finished). My yeast (lavlin EC-1118) took off as expected and was bubbling nicely with a decent foam on top this morning when I checked it. Pitched the yeast on
12-17. Gave it a gentle stir twice daily so far, now im just waiting.
I havent taken another SG reading yet, I will this evening but im sure it isnt ready yet given my starting SG and its current rate of ferment. Ill be sure and keep you posted, and ill also be starting my next batch as soon as my primary is freed up. Should be next weekend, gonna get my blueberry/pomegranet off the ground im really excited to see how that one turns out as I havent ever tasted it. Peach, on the other hand happens to be one of my favorites. Especially if your talking brandy, but thats getting into a whole other wine discussion. Lol
Hope everyone elses week is starting off as well as mine, and I hope somebody is just pulling one out to drink instead of seeing it start and feeling that anticipation that keeps us all going.
