This is what i used:
Strawberry Wine Recipe(1 Gallon)
• 6 lbs. Strawberries
• Sugar – (As needed to get to Starting SG below)
• Acid Blend – (As needed to get to Acid Reading below)
• 1 tsp. Wine Tannin
• 1/16 tsp. Potassium Metabisulfite
• 1 tsp. Yeast Nutrient
• 3/4 tsp. dry or 1/8 tsp. liquid Pectic Enzyme
• 1 pkg. Wine Yeast
• Potasium Sorbate (used when bottling if adding more sugar)
Starting SG (Specific Gravity) - 1.085 1.085 – 0.996 * 131.8 = 11.7% PA
Finish SG (Specific Gravity) – 0.996
Starting PA (Potential Alcohol) – 11.7%
Acid Reading - .60 - See special note below in step 4.
If the strawberries are fresh, lightly rinse with water and allow them to drain. Then, depit, cut in half, discard any questionable ones and chop off any unripened areas you may find and freeze the strawberries for 24 hours. After 24 hours thaw completely. Then coarsely chop them up and mash.
To make a wine making liqueur take the crushed strawberries and put them into a primary fermenter such as a food grade pail or stone crock. Then add just enough water to barely cover the strawberries. Add to this the Potassium Metabisulfite, Acid Blend and Wine Tannin as called for in the
above home wine making recipes.
Add the full amount of Pectic Enzyme as directed on the package it came in, based on the total batch size. This will allow the fruit’s pectin to be broken down faster than normal.
Do NOT add the Yeast Nutrient, Sugar or Yeast at this time.
After the 24 hour waiting period take an SG reading and if it is less than 1.085, add 1lb sugar at a time.
Dissolve the required amount of sugar in warm water.
Then add entire contents of yeast packet to about 2-3 oz of 104F - 109F water, do not stir. Set aside for no more then 15 minutes or until yeast "puffs up," or water becomes cloudy. Stir gently to suspend yeast and add to primary fermentor, stir in well and cover. Then add the yeast and yeast nutrient to the must.
