Freezing

[fbtjcd]

Can I freeze zinfandel grapes and make the wine 3 months from now?

Grapes are frozen. However, I am not quite sure on the procedure that they use is.

Yes! Freezing grapes releases the sugars from the skeleton structure of the grape. Pectic enzyme helps too.

Thaw grapes in primary. Keep cool. Add grapes in 2-4 stages so they can be covered in primary. Add k-meta once you get some juice. Next day add Pectic enzyme.

Next day add nutrients and rehydrate yeast.
