pure juice

[rob]

When I harvest my Brianna grape next month I would like to make some of it into pure non alc. juice, ( for the kids) do all the same rules apply that we use for wine with the excepton of the yeast, sorbate?..sulfite?...sparkloid?

 

[Julie]

you will have to sulfite it so it doesn't grow any wild yeast.

Rob I do not know for sure but thinking about it I would think you would still want the sulfite to protect the wine. What about wild yeast getting to it...lucky kids!

 

[Tom]

You also may want to pasteurize it

 

[Tom]

oh and sulfite it

 

[rob]

Soooo- pasturize it would mean boiling at 165 degrees???

Freeze it in small increments.
Simmer it to pasteurize it and decrease the water content.
Sorbate and bottle.
Add yeast and bottle into a champagne and make sparkling juice. Knowing the amount of sugar would be crucial tho.

steam juice into mason jars.

Boil is @ 112*

pasturize is @ 1658

So yes.
OR steam juice it
