I used 24# of frozen strawberries to make 6 gallons. It came out dry and had a good flavor. Recipe Type: Strawberry Yeast: Lalvin EC-1118 Batch Size (Gallons): 6 Original Gravity: 1.09 Final Gravity: .996 Boiling Time (Minutes): 0.0 Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 5 to 7...

Sounds like you did not let it clear long enough. How long did you let it sit after it stopped fermenting. Mine nomally sit for 3 to 6 months after fermentation stops.

Why not use dried orange peel. add the hint of orange without all the acid.

When is the best time to use oak. Should it be done during primary stage or during the clearing stage. I am getting ready to start a batch of concord and want to use some oak in this batch.

I have found the best thing to use for cheap and very drinkable concord or niagara wine is the Welch's 100% frozen juice concentrate. I have a lot of wine snob friends and they all have liked it everytime we make it. I do 6 gallon batches and use 12 cans. It cost me $24 for the juice.

I have a 6 gallon batch of this in the clearing stage. I was very suprised how good this is. Looking forward to bottling this in a couple months.
