I am going to try a Muscadine/Grape wine and have formulated the following recipe by taking a recipe for a gallon ofMuscadine and doubling all the required ingrediantsand doing the same, except increasing all the ingrediants required 4 fold for the Grape concentrate recipe.. If I am amiss I need feedback on what I need to change/adjust. It will be a 6 gallon batch and my recipe is as follows:
12 lbs. Muscadines
8 cans Welch's 100% Frozen Concentrate
9.5 lbs. Sugar
8 tsp. Acid Blend
6 tsp. Pectic Enzyme
6 tsp. Yeast Nutrient
2 Crushed Campden Tablets
1 Package Montrachet Yeast
Step 1. Crush/Smush Muscdines and add to strainer bag. Place in Primary Fermenter. Add thawed Grape concentrate.
Step 2. Boil 3 quarts water, dissolve sugar in water and add to primary. Let cool then add crushedCampden tablets, Pectic Enzyme and Acid Blend. Stir well, then stir some more. Add water to 6 gallons and let sit for 24 hours.
Step 3. Check and adjust SG if necessary to 1.095 and pitch yeast.
Step 4. Stirring Must twice daily, Ferment to 1.030 then rack to carboy, topping up as required.
Step 5. Ferment to dry, racking/topping upas required. Stabalize with Campden tablets and Sorbate and continue racking as neededuntil wine clears.
