I have just started a 5 gal batch of huckleberry wine as per recipe below and I am wondering if I should be stirring the must daily or not and what is gained by stirring?
I see different recipes and some call for stirring ... some not.
The must is fermenting vigorously at about 24hrs.
huckleberrywine batch
20lbs of huckleberries crushed about 2.5 gals juice and hucks
5 pints honey and 4lbs sugar boiled in 2 gal water added to the crushed huckleberries added water to 5.5 gal must at 1.090 sg.
---------------------------------------
5 camden tablets
2 oz acid blend
5/8 tsp pectic enzyme powder
2 1/2 tsp yeast energizer
5 tsp yeast nutrient
ALL in a slurry added to must when cooled.
---------------------------------------
pitched yeast after 14 hrs
