Peach Wine Recipe

[Will319]

Im getting a good deal on a bushel of peaches. I wanted to see if anyone had a recipe here that yielded a peach wine with a strong peach flavor. Also how is the best way to prep the fruit.

Thanks

Ok so I just got a bushel and diced them all up and froze the peaches. I bet I have about 30 pounds of fruit but will weigh them later. Any suggestions on recipes?

I'd try Jack Keller's stuff if you haven't already searched here first

I'd be inclined to make some peach wine and peach mead.

I weighed them and have 36 lbs 8.6 oz of fruit. I want to divide these up to make 2 good batches of peachy stuff. I want a Mead and a Wine. Ill probably go with a 5 gal Keller rasin and peach wine, or a Leon Kania from the alaskan bootleggers bible. and the rest for and a Peach Melomel. Any thoughts on a mead recipe? Additionally I have 5 gal of a strawberry wine I need to bottle to make room. I forget the amounts, and additives I need to use to stablize it to bottle. Any help would be appreciated on this.

I took 10lbs of white peaches and blended them into paste in the blender, put them in a straining bag and used that. I also did up 4lbs of raisins in another bag to add body. Filled the bucked up to about 5.5 gallons and included about 10# of dissolved sugar. Remains to be seen how it turns out. It's still settling. I may re-rack on some bentonite and pectic enzyme in the next few weeks.

On a side note... both my peach and my blueberry-peach were a disaster. Not sure why.
