Finally got my Strawberry Wine going. I am so happy with my Blueberry had to do this. Started with 16 lbs Strawberries.
Heat up a gallon water with 8 lbs sugar to 100 degrees to dissolve. Crushed 4 lbs at a time with potato masher. That not as much fun as it sounds! This time made sure fruit was completely thawed!
Added to bag and zip tied.
Added water to bring up close to 5.5 gallons. This should give me 4 gallons. Came in at almost 1.100. Shooting for around 1.095 so I happy. Should be around 13%.
Added chemicals and buttoned up. I will take some must out for back sweetening tomorrow and add yeast. Any idea how much I should remove for sweetening T Ty520 ?
