WMT (Unofficial) Strawberry Coastal White Wine Competition

[jswordy]

wow, thats crazy mine didnt even show signs of clearing. i tossed in some pectic enzyme and bentonite to see if that helps it along at all.

I used pectic from the beginning and also got it off the gross lees promptly. It has turned red. Now to find the time to rack it. Life is very busy.

INstant message, instant chat, we need one of the computer gurus to figure out how to get us a instant taste. LOL, Arne.

Mine's clearing very slowly, too. I also used pectic enzyme in the primary. The plain coast white I made right next to it is clear as clean water. Go figure! No hurry, though. I'm giving it another month before I even touch it. Then we'll be talking about f-packs!

I peed in mine while saying, "I got your f-pack right here" ... does that qualify?

Boy, if I win this thing after whizzing in the juice, it'll be awesome!

Wait! The judges can't read these messages, can they???? :<

I told you Jim, the Coastal Wizzing competition isn't until next quarter, sheesh!

 

[Sammyk]

I am embarrassed! Mine is an orangish color and very clear. I only had 4 pounds of strawberries in the freezer from last year. Surprisingly enough it does have a strawberry flavor. But it strawberry season here so I will be making a huge fpack.

Ok, that's it, next quarter we're having a Dragon Blood competition!

[Dend78]

My only regret is that I won't get to try everyone else's.

i may be inclined to do some swappin cause i know everyone will want to know what my winning wine tastes like

 

[jswordy]

Racked 4/29. Clear.

 

[dangerdave]

Clear, Jim? Pics please!

I think mine will require more pectic enzyme to clear completely. I have more to add to it yet, so I think I'll wait for that.
