Peaches

[cintipam]

BTW I suspect Welches discontinued the White Grape Peach. Used to be all I could find. Then for while White Grape Raspberry. I can still find the Raspberry kind, but I only find Peach stuck far back in the freezers with a good layer of frost on them. Raspberry doesn't seem to be restocked either. Now it's straight white grape, which I actually prefer since I can choose what to blend into it.

Kmeta and bentonite will inactivate the pectic enzyme

I just started a white grape / peach . Great Value 100% juice
in 64 oz containers. We will see how this comes out!! lol.

Thank you for the confirmation. So racking and adding Kmeta and PE at the same time is pointless. I thought I also had read that active fermentation and heat inactivates PE. If so I can't tell you how much PE I wasted adding into primary and also in many FPaks I simmered for later additions. I use a lot of fruit, and like I said I now have a lot of cloudy wine I'm working with. I did try Sparkolloid, which does help, but I'd prefer to use PE if that's the only problem since racking off Sparkolloid is a touchy business. I read it contains diatomaceous earth and alginates (dried egg whites). Makes me want to filter all my wine before consumption.

I decided to add super kleer to the peach wine. It was still very hazy and I already tried additional pectic enzyme to no avail. Looks to be clearing already after 4 hours. Tomorrow will be interesting to see how clear it is.

Peach wine is crystal clear and has been racked off any sediment and stabilized. I checked initial acid it was at .6079% TA with a ph of 3.73. I adjusted the acid to .68% and back sweetened a 100 ml sample to 1.006 and it was very good. Still needs some time but I'm in no hurry for this one.

I have a tree full of peaches that are ready to drop! Tempted to try to make a peach cider ... something lighter and fizzier than a wine, as such.

I read your first sentence and thought for a moment... "Who is this guy trying to kid?" ... I then noticed you're from Australia.

@REDRUM, got an extra room down there?

Watched the temp drop from 28 deg F (a heat wave) to 5 deg F in four hours. 5 - 8 inches of snow due starting at 7 am, with the added insult of an ice coating (hope it's chocolate) Sunday morning.

Made a 6 gal batch of peach a few weeks ago (17 cans Welch's white grape/peach (kids got # 18)) and I hate to say I can already see my hand looking through the 5 gallon carboy I have it in. pH was 3.4, gonna test the TA tomorrow as I watch the snow fall. Oh bother.

photographic evidence of current peach situation!

I think I'll just eat 'em..

 

[homesteader26]

Redrum dont eat them!! That is wine in the making!!

Would not be summer without at least one peach cobbler though!
