This is my first batch of wine, so I'll let you know how it turns out in a year or two .
40lbs concord grapes, de-stemmed and crushed
8lbs sugar (1.105sg)
Water to bring to 6.5gal
3tsp Pectic Enzyme
6tsp yeast nutrient
Sulphite - as required
Red Star Montrachet yeast.
I don't have a press or crusher, so I crushed the grapes using a strainer and wooden spoon and put the pulp into a nylon strainer bag. I added the sugar, topped up with water to about 6gal and added the sulphite and yeast nutrient. 12hrs later, I added the pectic enzyme. When all was said and done, I came out with about 6.5gal of must.
