Well, when I got home from work today, I found 2 cardboard boxes on my front porch.
One contained a big bottle of WineExpert red grape concentrate. I won't be opening it for 2 or 3 weeks. In the mean time, should I store it in the cabinet or in the refrigerator?
The other box contained my new Mehu-Liisa steam juicer. Oh yes. Goodbye to the clumsy straining bag.
Someone on this site made a post recently in which they said that wine made from steam-juiced fruit needs more pectic enzyme than usual, for clearing purposes. Is this true? If so, what is a good rule to follow when adjusting pectic enzyme? 1.5 times the amount called for? More? Less?
I'll mainly be making strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, and elderberry wines.
Thanks in advance.
