Hi guys and gals,
Just pitched some Montrachet on top of two brainstorms I had recently.
First up is a one gallon jug of (roughly) 1/3 organic White Grape Juice, 1/3 organic (concord???) Grape and 1/3 organic unpasteurized Apple juice with just a very slight splash of pure Pomegranate juice. I also added just under 12 oz. of raw Blue Agave Nectar and a trivial amount of Dextrose (in an effort to jumpstart fermentation... thoughts???)
Second is a less adventurous 5 gal. batch of Apfelwine with a 10. fl oz. addition of pure pomegranate juice and 3 pounds of honey (one pound Acacia Blossom and 2 lbs. Clover). Roughly 1/3 unpasteurized Apple and 2/3 White House... I reduced the original famous forum recipe for 2 lbs. of Dextrose to 1.75 to compensate for the 3 lbs of honey. I'm hoping the SG is close enough that the ABV is about the same as the normal forum recipe.
Just plugged the airlocks in and am hoping to see fizzies tomorrow morning.
Any thoughts?
Am I getting too trailer park with the mixtures or is it "edgy"?
I guess I'll find out come summer.
Best wishes,
Scary
