Last weekend I went shopping at Costco. They seem to provide very good fruit (in bulk ). I was chatting with my brother and he suggested that I make a "crazy fruit wine". So I couldn't resist. Here is what I have and some ideas. I'm hoping to see if anyone has done this, or if I am a pioneer (yeah, right!).
I got 4lbs of peaches, 3lbs pineapple, 4lbs Kiwifruit, 3lbs banannas, 2 gallons of fresh Blueberry/Blackberry juice (with water, Apple juice, pears, red grapes, blackberries and blueberries). (I also got a gallon of pomegranate juice but I had to do that alone becuase of the cost... It's already going so we'll see on that) (don't worry no sulphites added to the juice either)
I froze the fruit after letting them sit until they were all nice and ripe. I'm thinking of getting a few fresh strawberries... but not sure.
I figure I'll boil the banannas with the skins (since I'm going to make a five gallon batch). chop all the fruit, put it in to a bag, add juice, sugar to 25 brix, and some nutrient, sulphites,some tannin, then wait a day and pitch the yeast.
Any suggestions?
Does anyone just leave the skins on the kiwifruit?
