There has to be a sexier name, if anyone can think of anything better than PPR (Not hard to do) please feel free to leave me some suggestions.
I started out with 4 cups of mushed RIPE Persimons with the skin removed. I am very careful to remove the skin of fruits when I can as to avoid the Pectin which apparently makes the wine cloudy. I figured plums were similar, well ok they really aren't but I needed something with a little more acid. I also had some rose hip concentrate I made up from fresh rosehips awhile back and froze.
Here are the measurements:
5 Litres spring water
2 cups rosehip concentrate (previously frozen)
4 cups yellow plum juice (previously frozen)
4 Cups Mashed Persimons with seeds and skin removed
6 Cups Honey
1 pack 1118 yeast
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Specific gravity = 1.082

WELCOME
Hello and welcome to my blog. As you may be able to tell, I am by no means a wine making expert. I am constantly on the look out for new idea's and post them on here as they are found. I also post my wine making experiments (Mostly Mead) both as a journal for myself and for others to see, try and comment on.
Please feel free to use any of the recipe's if you like the results or have any questions or suggestions, please feel free tom post a comment. Don't be intimidated by the screening of comments, I just want to Keep this blog clean.
Cheers
Club Dubya - My new Online Community
Check out Club Dubya. My newest experiment in "Social Networking" Call me Naive, but I would like to create a non-corporate online community with an emphasis on the word "Community" Maybe I'll even stick in a Wine making section if there is enough interest.
It is still being worked on, but feel free to drop in and say Hi. There is already a few members and we are growing.
