With the very wet spring we've been having here in Eastern Iowa the conditions seem to be perfect for producing beaucoup strawberries, so I have more strawberries than I know what to do with. I was considering making a wine, but I have the following problems:
1) No K or Na-metabisulfite or Campden tablets and the LHBS that would carry them is currently underwater here in Iowa City.
2) I only have Munton's Standard Yeast packets.
Could I somehow pasteurize these strawberries and get away with a wine using Munton's?
Or should I chop the strawberries, throw them in the freezer, and order ingredients from Northern Brewer or Midwest?
