Started a new wine today

[tcavan01]

I started a new batch of wine today. It is apricot/pear.

I used
4 19oz jars of Aldi's Apricot jam
2 large cans of pears 29 oz i think
1 packet of peach/mango Kool-Aid
Added sugar to SG 1.085
Acid blend
tannin
Premium Cuvee yeast

I made 3 gallons out of it.

I had the Kool-Aid packet around and thought why not. We will see.

Once again this site prove..anything can go into the fermenter

New wine

We will see how it turns out. One packet of Kool-Aid for three gallons of wine shouldn't really make much difference.

Checked it

I went and stirred my rapidily fermenting wine. I tasted it after stirring and it has good flavor so far.

Well that is an interesting combination for sure. Will have to see how it turns out.
