Got some free plums and nectarines so I made up a 1 gal batch which is in the Primary now. My wife doesn't like the Dry Red wines that I prefer so I thought I'd make up some Sweet Plum/ Nectarine to see if she likes it.
I was going off one of Jack Keller's recipes for Sweet Plum wine but messed up and put all 3-1/2 lbs of sugar in from the start (S.G. 1.118) instead of half first then adding more every other rack.
I guess I'll just have to let it run it's course, max out ABV and let the Champaign yeast die and see where I am with sweetness. (Although ABV will be higher than my original goal). Any suggestions? (High ABV is never a problem for me but I think my wife prefers something closer to 12.5%)
Thanks,
Dave
