Simply Peach Wine

[cooknhogz]

Stopped at the store for some Simply Apple juice that I use for BBQ and seen Simply Peach juice. First thought was that sounds like a good wine. Ingredients, Filtered water, peach juice, cane sugar, lemon juice, peach puree, and natural flavors and has been pasteurized. So I bought a gallon to experiment. Anyone have any advice or have made wine with any of the Simply juices before? Besides nutrient, energizer, and yeast is there any other additives I should use? Thanks is advance for any and all help.

You will probably want to add some sugar to get the ABV to where you want it. I would measure the specific gravity (SG) now, and then decide how much alcohol you want in a peach wine. I would probably go on the low end myself, like 11% or so. Then figure out how much sugar you need to add to get that amount. (FermCalc is useful: http://www.fermcalc.com/fermcalc_applet.html .)

Being only 17% juice with pulp according to the bottle, do you see the need for a Pectic enzyme?

how peachy does the juice taste? if needed I wold suggest adding some canned peaches to the juice to ferment or even post fermentation to give more flavor.

Very peachy like fresh squeezed peaches

yes you will need pectic enzyme

Adding Pectic Enzyme when not needed = No issue.
NOT Adding Pectic Enzyme when needed = A royal pain in clearing your wine.

Been there done that DON'T want the T-Shirt.

So does that mean you don’t wear it, or are trying to give it away?

If you can post a picture of the bottle I'm pretty sure I used that to back sweeten my peach which I had also made a little bit hot as far as alcohol content

AkTom - I'd give the shirt away the pictures of it keep turning out with a serious haze.
