Ice Wine

[Tom]

Well I finally bottled my 5 gallon batch of Canadian all juice Ice Wine. I wound up with 46 bottles.

Those look really good there Tepe! Did they clear well on their own or did they need some coaxing?

5 gallons = 46 bottles? I must have smaller five gal carboys!

They look real good Tepe!

Yeah you get more when you use 375 ml bottles! That stuff's too expensive to bottle in 1.5 ml bottles or larger!

It was very hard to start. Then when I got it to 1.065 I tried to stop fermentation Took a while to start to clear then overnite was clear. Started it last september. Gravity at bottling was 1.035

Yep! They are 375ml bottles. You can't drink more than one 375 at a time.

Dont know if I could drink one, way too sweet for me..but now that cake recipe you posted awhile back, that might just be the ticket!

 

[Tom]
