Wow two days after first racking and this is really clear

Avocado , bleue cheese burger

First racking. Original SG 1.102. Now it’s .990. That’s 15. something ! Didn’t taste as powerfully strong as SG indicates which is good. It lost most of its fruit taste unfortunately. I added about 1 1/2 oz of fresh passion juice (all the fruit I had available. New blossoms setting now) This...

Awful lot of tasting going on 🥂🙂 but that’s one of the main reasons to make it.

It was the spiders from when they crushed the grapes - the were happy to be out and did a little dance

Ive read you can make a string halter and pull it out with that

I had to look that one up. We have tons of palms with similar fruit and they can be used for jams etc but I don’t know if I’ve seen a pindo. I guess it’s called a wine palm in some areas.

It’s getting a real nice color as it clears

Buy a couple of bottles and sit in the parking lot selling tasting for $10.00

10 days in and it’s starting to clear now. Another 10 days or so I’ll rack and add a little fresh passion fruit juice and let it go for a while.

You beat me to it just stir 3 times a day. By now it’s probably settling down a bit.

@BigDaveK searching for his next wine 🍷

I’m really thinking pear walnut. Or pear almond. Even if it’s only a flavoring you derive somehow. Nutty flavors go good with pear. my frozen loquats are going to be my next batch I think. A lot like the texture of pears. im thinking of flavoring with raspberry somehow.

Into secondary at 1.014. I actually got 1 1/2 gallons. i might share one bottle

Yeast pitched. It’s firing off and looking good. It was so tasty last night as a juice. Hoping it tastes Good as a wine. This one will be for personal use and not gifting. 🥂

Well I have enough frozen and fresh passion fruit to start a one gallon batch. This recipe was one of my first and best tasting wines. Added a bit of frozen mango to this batch and will ferment it to a dry wine. Think I’m going to use D47 in this one I’m planning on adding a little fresh juice...

OK so I am pleased now with this wine. I backsweetened enough so it isn’t really a “drink a whole glass” wine but more of a small glass desert wine. I have 3 bottles put away and one in the fridge that I just sampled again and it was pretty yummy. Plumerias don’t have a lot of blossoms right...

Gloves. Wear some nice leather workgloves like your a tough cowboy.

I’m thinking raw peanuts boiled first might work ok
