I really like this strawberry wine recipe i found on Jack Kellers website, butbi would like to have more finished product. I was thinking of maybe doubling or maybe tripling the recipe. Would i just double the ingredients called for in the recipe if i were to do so? Never made strawberry wine or many other wines for that matter, so i wasnt sure if it would be a good idea or work. Here is the recipe.
3 lbs. fresh strawberries
2 lbs. granulated sugar
2 tsp. citric acid
water to make 1 gallon
wine yeast & nutrient
Place all ingredients except yeast in crock. Crush fruit with hands and cover with 5 pints boiling water. Stir with wooden paddle to dissolve sugar and simultaneously mash the strawberries. When cooled to 85 degrees F., add yeast. Cover and stir daily. Strain on 7th day, transfer to secondary fermentation vessel, top up to one gallon, fit fermentation trap, and set aside. Rack after 30 days and again after additional 30 days. Bottle when clear. Allow to age at least 6 months. Will improve to one year.
