I've got my first batch of muscadine port aging in carboy now, great expectations for that batch...
As an experiment, I decided to make another 3-gal batch in port style, this time using Welch's Juice. Basing it on the recipe(Waldo's) that I used for the muscadine, Isimply substituted Welch's. Ingredients for 3-gallon batch were:<?
amespace prefix = o ns = "urn

· 6 cans Welch’s Frozen Grape Juice
· 0.5 Ltr Red Grape Concentrate
· 1 lb Muntons Light Malt Extract
· 2 oz. Dried Elderberries
· 1 lb Raisins
· Liquid from 1-1/2 lbs boiled ripe bananas & Dried Elderberries (approx 1 qt)
· 3 tsp Pectic Enzyme
· 1.5 tsp Grape Tannin
· 3 tsp Yeast Nutrient
· 1 tsp Yeast Energizer
· (?) Acid blend as needed
· 1 oz Bentonite
· 3 ea Campden Tablets
· 2 ozs French Oak Medium Toast cubes
· 1 Pk Lalvin EC-1118 yeast
· Sugar to bring starting SG to 1.120
· F-Pack to back sweeten (additional juice from 1 can of Welch’s, just thawed without water addition).
-----------------
I stopped by local Walmart yesterday afternoon and bought the 6 cans of Welch's. Those were thawed and dumped into a 5-gal primary.ThenI added:
§ ½-ltr red grape concentrate
§ Liquer from 1.5-lbs stewed bananas
§ 1-lb malt (dissolved in hot water)
§ 2-lb sugar (dissolved in hot water)
§ 1-lb raisins (free-floating)
§ 1.5-tsp pectic enzyme (should have been 3 tsp!)
§ 1.5-tsp tannin
§ 3-tsp yeast nutrient
§ 1-tsp yeast energizer
§ 3 crushed C-tabs
Added sugar to adjust SG to ~1.120 and left to sit overnight.
This morning, SG measured 1.028(!). Added 6 tsp acid blend and an additional 1.5 tsp pectic enzyme.
I'll post updates as appropriate.
