Welches White Recipe?

Chateau Joe · May 28, 2009

I have been reading a little and I would like to try the Welches White grape juice. I believe this is Niagara juice. Could someone please share their recipe with me?

Thanks
Joe

You can try this recipe as a base for a light to medium bodied wine. For more body, use 3 cans instead of 2 and use less sugar.

2 cans Welchs 100% Grape
2 tsp Acid Blend
1 tsp Pectic Enzyme
1 tsp Yeast Nutrient
1.25 lbs Granulated Sugar
1 pack Yeast Lalvin 1116

Aim for a starting SG of 1.090 or so.

Mix all ingredients except the yeast. Wait 24 hours then pitch the yeast.

I hope this helps!

I would use 3 cans and keep the sg at 1.080. yes it is a niagara grape. check the sg before adding any sugar and remember the sugar is only a guideline, you might need less or more to get your reading where it needs to be.

Yep 3 -3 1/2 cans here also.

The sugar recommendation applies equally to acid ... shoot for .6 or so depending on how sweet you plan to make it later.
