The Goal: ~19% ABV Pineapple Wine with a bit of complexity
The Inspiration: About 5 recipes found here and elsewhere AND Maui brand wines
The Recipe
10lbs fresh pureed pineapple
96oz 100% pineapple juice preservative free
16oz white grape juice concentrate
16oz mandarin orange concentrate
1lb molasses
brought to 3gal with water
~1/2lb lightly toasted oak chips
~2tsp salt and enzyme mix (tannin, amylase, pectic enzyme, MgSO4 and KCl)
1tsp yeast nutrient
1pk Lalvin KIV-1116
OG: 1.072
Will layer with 4 additions 1 day apart of 1.25lb dextrose to drive up the potential ABV. Gravity readings will not be taken as the theoretical ABV will be near 19% by adding 5lbs of detroxe in total and I will just check the ABV at the end at work.
With the additions of dextrose, 3/4 tsp of pectic enzyme will be added.
Will add bentonite 3 days after final dextrose/pectin enzyme addition.
Will be racked to secondary on or about 2/5/12
Will rack to tertiary and add Kmeta and Ksorbate on or about 2/20/12
Will clear with SuperKleer on or about 2/24/12 if the wine looks clear otherwise I will add more time as necessary.
Will filter/bottle for consumption and aging on or about 3 days after adding SuperKleer.
Any thoughts?
