Finally got another batch going... Decided to wait on a mead and stick with a Raspberry/blueberry wine.
started with 6 1/2 # Raspberry, 1# Blueberry, and 1/2 cup Red grape concentrate (addedbecause idumped into much water). Used raspberry recipe from finevinewines. Ended up with just under 4 gallons in the primary and adjusted the chemicals accordingly. Beginning sg was 1,082. Recipe called for 1,090 to 1,095 but i did read one of Applemans threads suggesting a lower starting SG. Purchased a brew belt and temp is maintaining at 78 to 80. Recipe did not call for yeast energizer.. not sure if I should add that. Hope i didnt get it to watered down and thinking the red grape concentrate will make the adjustment. Will be adding the yeast this evening... 71B-1122. If you see any no no's to this please advise..
