We purchased a bucket of chiliean juice of Moscato sg is just now at 1.020 after 2 weeks in bucket, we would like to ad strawberries can we and if so how do you recommend this
Is pectin needed at this late in the game? Especially if the berries are frozen. I added triple berries and strawberries in a mist kit atDon't forget to add more pectin! Mine smells and tastes wonderful.

Thank you Julie! I knew there was something I didn't know!!
Seriously I also just learned that tannin inactivates pectic enzyme. So many little nuances to finetune when making wine. I guess that's why it is called an art.

On the directions for the juice buckets it says to add a stabilization packet but says nothing about killing the yeast. should will kill yeast before stabilizing?
Don't we "kill" the yeast when you add potasium sorbate? I may be spelling that wrong and don't want to run downstairs to look at my bag... I make a concord grape/blackberry Dragon's Blood that is my favorite. After it has fermented to dry and has sat a few weeks and after adding the potassium sorbate, I put it in a clean car boy on frozen blackberries for 6 weeks. I've made this twice and it has never started fermenting again.... I then rack to a clean car boy add clearing agent and bottle. During fermentation it has blackberries it in, but I don't re-add additional berries until it has fermented to dry.There isn't really anything in your winemaker's arsenal with which to kill the yeast. What exactly did you have in mind doing?
