Was planning to do a 3 gallon batch of raspberry melomel with a buddy who wants to get started making wine. I thawed the berries and he was supposed to come by with honey on Thursday. Plans changed at the last minute, so I had to start it without him, and short on honey. <facepalm>
Here's what's going on so far:
2 lbs goldenrod honey
8 lbs raspberries
k-meta
nutrient
energizer
ICV-D47 yeast
I started this Monday because the berries had been in the fridge thawed for nearly a week by then. Was nervous about time so I skipped the pectic enzyme. Will make a late addition once it's dry.
The starting gravity was 1.053 @ 2 gallons liquid volume. It's meant to be 3 gallons at ~12 percent when finished. How do I get from here to there? Seems like adding another gallon of must with a starting gravity of 1.15 would do it. Got that by adding the missing .032 sg from each of the 2 gallons already working to the 1.085 sg from the additional gallon. Opinions?
