First off...I'm brand new to HBT...I'm looking forward to get'n to know y'all!
I have, in the secondary, my first peach wine. i went with the Vintners Harvest base. i followed the 3 gal recipe (pretty much).
3.5 gals (added 1/2 gal for racking loses)
96oz can V/H peach base
10lbs sugar
2 tsp acid blend
3 tsp nutrients
1 tsp pectic enzyme
1 pk 71B
didn't use campden tabs...personal preference !
I started batch with 8lbs sugar to start.
3/10. OG 1.090
3/12. SG. 1.069. added remaining sugar
1.095
3/14. SG 1.052 removed bag o fruit
3/19. racked into 3 gal carboy and 1/2 gal jug ( tilted bucket )
As of today its SLOWLY chug'n along. no recent reading. just let'n it do its thang!!!
This is my first batch above 1 gal. i noticed my primary fermentation didn't go balls out. like my 1 gal batches did. is this because if quantity?
