Hi, freezer died yesterday forcing me to make the strawberry wine that I had put off. Being exhausted from a very long workday I had a brain fart on the recipe. I suspect it isnt disastrous, but would like your input.
Here is what I made:
27 lbs strawberries
17 lbs sugar
5 tsp acid blend
1.25 tsp grape tannin
5 campden tablets
boiling water (about 3 gallons)
Not added yet:
5 tsp pectic enzyme
champagne yeast and nutrient
Screw Up:
10 more pounds sugar than the ratios called for
10 more pounds fruit than the ratios called for
If you think this will be okay for a five or six gallon batch as is then Ill do nothing but continue the process. I really dont want to end up with Boones Farm Strawberry Sludge if I can help it.
Suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!
Jennifer
