I used to make this from concentrate but after making some plumb wine with the fruit , i felt like using the fruit pulp gave the wine more body and complexity the apple that I made out of cider with no pulp were good but seemed less complex like they had no finish and the concentrate wines seemed to be the same so we bought the 10 pineapples and ripened them. I have just peeled and diced them and dropped them into the freezer. I will use some concentrate with them but still don't know just how im going to go about it.

Filtering 2g Cherry, 3g Concord from grape, 5g Blackberry, 6g Skeeter Pee. Bottled some White Zin with Peach, and 1 gallon of peach. Washed and sterilized 6 cases of used bottles. And.....the wife made me new labels.

Got the raspberries out of the freezer this morning for defrosting. I thought I had more than this but 12 lbs will still make 4 or 5 gallons.

Had a pleasant surprise when I got home from work a little while ago. My wife found the missing 3 lb bag of raspberries in the freezer today so I am back up to 3 - 5 lbs per gallon batches.

Hate to be a party pooper. 15# is enough for 3 gallons. Raspberry is like strawberry both have alot of water. Both will neeed to have 5#min PLUS a f-pac per gallon. I like 6-7# per gallon.
Shoot no higher than 1.085 starting gravity

This stuff is like an F-Pack in a bottle if you guys can find it locally. Here is a link to Amazon which sells it. They sell a few flavors besides Raspberry and this stuff is pure concentrated fruit juice. It tastes aweosme and is great also over ice cream. Do not use stuff like DaVinci syrup as its totally fake stuff and is nasty. My Aunt brought over a bottle and it tastes like Nyquil!

If I can get motivated today I will set up the A/O unit and do a few free SO2 calculations. I need to break-in the new whole house filter. I have a MM Renaissance Valpolicello that is ready to be bottled.
