Loren, if they are small don't buy them. After all the time you spend removing the skin and seed, what remains is very little. Hold out for the big ones.

Thanks for the advice, but, I have already bought them, I would not know a big one from a small one, but I did pick out the biggest ones they had. Only bought a dozen. Figure about 4 lbs of flesh to the gallon, hopefully will have enough for a couple of gallon. Loren

If we had mangoes here in Washington state 3 for a buck, I would be all over them small or..the big green mangoes that turn some red are never on sale here.......now if we could figure how, my back yard is full of huckleberries.......

The ones I got are green and turning red, maybe they are the big ones. Loved Wash State, was there years ago, Pike street market and the sound. Fishermans paradise. LOren

These are the mangoes I used. All the work is worth it the wine will have a beautiful golden color and be very fragrant.

I thought I would have a golden wine also but mine turned out colorless. Actually I thought that it looked really cool.

I racked my Mango today, WOW, what an aroma, and it is golden in color. Fermented all the way to .990 in a few days. Lots of sediment, started with two gallons, while probably wind up with a little over a gallon and a half. Really feel good about this compared to the Papaya.

Popped the cork on a bottle of Mango yesterday. Only 8 months old but, WOW is it good. Very fragent and a light yellow in color. Much better than I had expected. Wish I had done more of it. Will be collecting Mangos for a 5 gallon batch this time. Loren
