rasins

[scotty]

is there a formula for adding rasins to give wine some extra body or is there another way???

Scotty....I have used rasins on a number of fruit wines at a lb./gal [chopped], but have started useing WE grape cont. as NW seem to like andfound I like this better....seems to be a bit smootherflavor...used at 1/2 pt. /gal....hope this helps

I like the results I get from bananas myself. About a lb or so of really ripe per gallon of wine. I jsut chop them up coarsely, Boil in water and then addthe water to my must. If you are going to use this method I suggest doing it on the front end as it will affect your SG

Waldo,
Would there be in banana flavor in the finished wine using your method?

Do you strain the banana water or how do you actually apply the boiled concoction

I put some bananas in a batch I called Tropical Medley...Was Pineapple Juice, Apple Juice and Bananas....

Put the Bananas in a straining bag...

I can always taste the Banana in that batch....
Personally....don't much care for that flavor...

But to each their own....

Just my 2¢
