Recieved a call from a friend. Said his grapes were ready and did I want them. We went over and picked, the grapes were small and pretty sweet. Got them destemed and crushed last night, now in the frig. Only had about 22 lbs, a fairly full 5 gal. bucket. Going to get a s.g. reading today. This vine came from the old country, not sure where. Was planted here over 30 years ago. Nobody knows the name of the grape, tho. Seems like these really came ripe early. Anyway, looks like I will have a bit over a gal. of juice. Going to leave them in the frig. til Sunday nite or monday. Would you try adding something to make a slightly bigger batch, or just use the straight juice. I am just kind of feeling my way along here. Kind of a fun project, but desteming by hand is a time consuming job and not much fun. Last year said I am not going to do that again and somebody said free grapes. Things happen, lol, Arne.
