I have recently made two gallons of apple wine following a recipe for crab apple wine I have followed it to the letter bar using a different type of apple when I took my OG reading I knew it was going to be strong around 17-18 ABV but I had only put in the sugars as advised by the recipe I think it was 1.5KG of sugar per gallon I don't have my recipe on me so this could be a little out.
I racked off my wine yesterday for the first time and decided to have a little sip of it and the first taste to smack you in the face is pure alcohol and then the apple comes through after it does tell me I new to age the wine for 6 months will this flavor mellow out ?? Will the apple flavor become more prominent through aging and mask the alcohol flavor ? Would adding oak chips help mask the flavor ? Any advice would be appreciated
