I have started a batch of apple wine from the apples in my yard. I blitzed them in the food processor after coring them. My recipe said to boil them for 15min then add the sugar. Instead I put them (39lbs) in the primary and added boiling water, citric acid, sugar. When it cools I will add yeast and nutrient. The recipe says to let it sit for 24hrs, but I am inclined to let it sit for longer with the fruit in there because I did not boil it. Also it does not call for pectic enzyme but I want to use it. At what point do I add it. This is my first batch of wine so any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
