Your right Keith, prune them like he said. The bleeding will not hurt them. Fertilize 2 times a month. Triple 13 one 1st and Calcium Nitrate on the 15th. Keep plenty of water during growing
season. They want take drought at all.
Touch of sweetness will bring out the flavor..........everybody in the world does not like dry wine....gotta remember, I'm from the South where we drink sweet tea.
Just have to cut back to major runners and let them put out new growth this year and you will have better idea on best way to prune next year. You will loose a years crops but you really don't have much choice. Last years growth will have a greener appearance. You could save a bunch of these...
That's what I have. Keeps temp around 64 degrees, never had problem. Don't make up too many wines up in short time. May little room holds about 500 bottles of wine total when full.
Ison is also a good one for wine. I have been making muscadine wine for 4 years and won a gold and silver medal from the Winemakers Magazine International Amateur wine contest last
year one 2 types of red muscadines. Ison was one of the winners.
You need to think about Carlos for your white muscadine and Norton for you reds. Most of the ones you mentioned
are for eating and not wine making. Fry is not a good wine grape neither is BlCheack Beauty or Supreme.
Looks good to me, I've been told that it must age for 1 to 3 years for it to be at it's best. Good at one year, better in 2 years, and excellent at 3 years. I have several batches going, some with
fruit in them, and some plain.
fresh strawberry season is coming up soon, You got to try this. I won a gold medal in the Winemakers Magazine International Amateur wine making contest on strawberry in 2017.
Take some of the wine if you have a little overage, and use it with sugar to make the syrup to back sweeten the wine with. That way you maintain the flavor and do not add any pectin issues.
Where in the world did you that many huckleberries? I visited Montana a few years and saw them growing in the wild. Very small bushes and small fruit. Loved them in a milkshake at the local creamery. I knew then that they would make a great wine. Please what is your source?
