Tannin ?

[mjdtexan]

I was looking at a Apple Concentrate Wine recipe today and it called for ¼ tsp Tannin</font>. I was not smart enough to order any when I ordered my stuff. Is there a handy substitute available in most pantries?

Tea leaves contain tannins, but I don't know how much you would need. Oak also contains tannins, so if you oak it you will be adding tannins.


I would just get some tannins from a wine supply store and add the recommended amount as soon as you can. Also check out this months newsletter. George covers tannin additions in it this month.
