Well since I had 57 lbs of berries and an empty 3 gallon carboy, I decided to start a 3 gallon batch of Elderberry wine. Here is the recipe I will be using. It's kind of a hodge podge of different recipes. Anyway
11 lbs of previously frozen fresh elderberries steamed to produce 1.5+ gallons of juice.
1 can each of Welches Red and White grape juice concentrate.
40 grams acid blend to get must to .65%
2 tsp pectic enzyme (will add 12 hours after campden tablets)
3 campden tablets
1/2 tsp tannin
75 oz of sugar to bring sg to 1.085
water to 3 gallons.
Everything is mixed and in the primary waiting on the pectic enzyme this evening and yeast will be 1116 added tomorrow with nutrient.
