update on my strawberry breeze
My wife brought home 13 cans of welchs strawberry breeze frozen concentrate so I went to work.. I decided to make 14 liters. That will fill 3 "carlo rossi" secondaries and leave 2 liters for topping off. I added all 13 cans to my primary and filled with water to 14 liters. I took a gravity reading at 1.070 . I needed no sugar! I added 3 tsp of acid blend, 3 tsp of nutrient and 1 tsp of pectic enzyme "thats all I had". Hooked up my PID heater and am waiting for must to hit 72f then pitch yeast. Have any of you made it with a concentration this high as to not need sugar at that potential alcohol? I made it lower ABV so the aclohol doesnt overpower the taste. Cant wait to see how it turns out. What do you guys and gals think?
