green apple riesling

Some thing different comes this way, it's summer I just made a coconut pino grigio for my gal and she spotted the green apple Riesling and gave me the look, you know the LOOK: SO I GOT IT AND THOUGHT about it for a second and said yes, we just have the first apples coming off the vine WHY NOT! So I made a apple fpac along with boosting the ABV. JUST A TAD, so here we go ,... first the fpac:

Okay now that the FPAC is made we need to take a look at the instructions there not standard, they have added yeast nutrient,omitted bentonite and the finish PAC goes in at the end before bottling. Also check out when your supposed to do these processes just a little different.

Your first Mosti Mondiale kit Joe?

Not sure who made the kit vintner design ,Tim Vandergrift from Winexperts crafted it,I've found there all pretty much alike actually,just some times something hits me a little differently,Ex; using yeast nutrient, I don't use it, not using bentonite in the beginning of the process, that's a staple element with me.But the base is the base and the process is the same and so I tweak on..the Apple fpac will be adjusted in the finial tasting proportionally I might not use it all................

Ok, I thought it was a MM kit since I know their kits have a yeast nutrient.

Interesting, I thought you were getting the Fontana Green Apple Reisling. You and I may have to swap bottles when you are done.

Mine had no nutrient with it, and added the bentonite after adding the juice. And like yours, add the fpac all at the end. I bumped mine up to 1.082 to start.
All I know is my wife loves the stuff. It ended up around 1.018 after adding the fpac. ABV is around 11%.

From the top follow the flow......the fpac will make the difference, really,even though the flavor enhancer is added to the mix, I might just not need all of it.Yes when it's completed and ready for drinking we can always share .
