I am going to make a couple gallons of grape juice wine using your recipe. This will be my second time making wine. Last fall I made several gallons of plum wine and apple wine from my fruit trees. Both turned out very well, but the trees didn't produce this year, hence the grape juice. When using the fruit to make wine, I started fermetation in a large plastic primary, for 5 or 6 days, before transferring the wine into one gallon secondary jugs that I bought at a wine making supply store. The way I read your recipe, you are skipping the larger primary vessel and going straight to the one gallon secondary. Is that correct? Also, is there a specific yeast that you prefer for this wine?
BTW- I put a couple dozen plums (very sweet prune plums) in the freezer last fall. I am going to get them out, remove the skins and pits, boil them and use the juice in place of water in one of the gallons of grape wine just to see what happens. Bad idea??
Thanks, Al
