Wow! I have tons of respect for Jack.
Did I say "WOW"...I mean...wow...

Will that peach wine be a DB variation or another recipe entirely?
I made a DB peach variation last time around. It came out okay but left plenty of room for improvement.
I just opened my first bottle of straight blackberry dragon blood tonight and it's fantastic! I back sweeten 1 cup per gallon.
So what was the finishing SG and what did you end up with after sweetening???? Also,what was the ABV??
I did a Blackberry Dragon with Vintners Harvest fruit base. My end SG was 1.000 and ABV was 12.3. YUP! Awesome.
I added pectic enzyme to my peach mango but no signs of clearing after 4 days.....
Thanks to everyone who helped me a week or so ago when my DB wasn't clearing (Val, Dave, Calvin, Pam & others). I had added the extra pectin enzyme but wasn't holding my breath after a few days with no change.
Well, I've been out Christmas shopping for the last five days with my family from out of town and came back to this beautiful site!

Now to rack off the lees that dropped and back sweeten, huzzah!

Mrs. Jones, that looks great! Nice color! Glad it cleared up for you. Pectin can be a pain sometimes. Those are the broken pectin protein chains gathered on the bottom, beautiful clear wine, above.
Varis, I've had problems with peach clearing. Let it sit. It may take some extra time. If it's not cleared up after a couple of weeks or so, you'll need to revisit this.
