Looking good bmorosco..How long does it take to get the Ice Wine in the bottle?


Which one of the Shiraz did you try?

 

[bmorosco]

shiraz is the world vinyard kit from George... and the Ice Wine will take prob 6-8 weeks...

You got a filter already. I'm jealous!

How is your Chokecherry Wine??? Is it dry or sweet??? We have 5 gallons clearing now, it will be a dry red wine...I added two 500 mil bottles of WinExpert Red Grape Concentrate to it, and oaked it.

The 2 batches we made 2 years ago are awesome, one batch was sweet and one dry, bottled some of each and blended some....we saved it to see how it would be with age on it...plus.. we didn't get any Chokecherries last year, so kept it in reserve....this year we picked enough for 3 batchs...So we are enjoying the old batches now...in moderation of course...

The chokecherry turned out really good. I back sweetened because we like it a little sweet. We had a bumper crop of chokecherries this year, so I picked enough for two 6 gal batches. I also used my steamer for the juice, only way to do it. I did knock 3 bottles off the drier and broke them, so I'm down 3 bottles.... Made a heck of a mess in the laundry room...

That juice can really stain, think it is worse than grape.

I think the steamer does a great job on those Chokecherries too...as well as many other fruits.
