I perused the massive mango wine from pulp thread.
I decided to roll the dice on this recipe that is a hybrid of different sources.
One gallon of mango wine is the hoped for result. If anyone can add anything I'm open to suggestions.
Aldi's sells one pound packages of frozen mango flesh for $2.09 each. It doesn't say anything on the label about preservatives so that's good if its legit.
I almost boiled a gallon of water and added 2 pounds of cane sugar(also from Aldi's). Sterilized a two-gallon bucket and a mesh bag, added 4 bags of the frozen fruit, 1.5tsp acid blend, 1 tsp yeast nutrient and 1/4tsp tannins. Dumped in the water and stirred.
When it cools I'll check the gravity, add 1/2tsp pectic enzyme and then some about a tsp of EC-1118 or Montrachet( I haven't decided which one yet). This very much the Jack Keller recipe.
I'm figuring on stirring daily for about 10 days and transferring to a secondary.
This look good so far? I'm hoping for a minimum of 4 bottles of wine for a $10 dollar investment.
