Well this is my first post and I thought I'd share what I'm brewing. I started a 5 gallon batch of French vanilla coffee wine tonight.
I used the following
4 225g packages of sensation French vanilla ground coffee
4 kg of dark brown sugar
6 tbs real vanilla
30 gallons water
I boiled the previous ingredients and placed them in my primary.
I checked my SG and I was sitting at 1.045. Not quite as high as I liked so I added unpasteurized clover honey. 3 cups.
I started my yeast with lavlinEC-1118
Coffee must
4 tbs of yeast nutrient
6 tbs lime juice
I just checked my SG and I'm now sitting at 1.053
I'm at 95 degrees currently so I am going to wait until I get to 75-80 before I add my yeast.
I am relatively new to making wine so if there are any glaring errors or omissions I would certainly welcome any advice.
