Hey everyone!
This is my first post here. I'm still new to wine making. So be easy on me.
I want to be clear that this is a log and not a tried and tested recipe. Any and all advice is welcome.
Peach Ginger Wine - Aug, 15 2015
2-3 Gallons of mashed peaches (ranging in ripeness)
10 Lbs of Sugar
1 Lbs Ginger
Water (3-4 gallons)
Cote des Blancs Yeast
Campden tablet
yeast nutrient
pectic enzyme
Bring Water to rapid boil and then let cool for 10 mins or so. Bruise Ginger, then slice and place in spice bags (Skin on). Throw spice bags in water for 30 mins.
Remove spice bags from the now Ginger tea. Add sugar. Cover tea and let cool.
Quarter peaches, removing brown spots (But not to be confused with overly rip spots) and pits. Mash down. Repeat till you have about 2 to 3 gallons of juice and pulp.
Using the Ginger tea, fill to a little over 6 Gallons.
Gravity reading was 1.1
Add Campden table and pectic enzyme. Wait 24 hours.
Add yeast nutrient. Rehydrate yeast, and add to must.
In a few days when the gravity reading is around 0.4ish I plan to strain and filter into a carboy.
