Strawberry wine - first time making.
750 grams frozen strawberries.
Lemon juice and citric acid - 2 teaspoons.
Sugar up to 1100 SG, Yeast nutrient and yeast.
about 3 litres of white grape juice, 100 percent . 1 litre of water so that the juice taste is not too prominent, what interests us here is the strawberry taste.
Pectolaze, Half a banana. Some orange juice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a pot: pour 500 milliliters boiled but not hot water on the strawberries. Add acid, chopped banana, and 500 grams sugar. Do not boil. leave for a few minutes.
Pour 2 liters of juice to the demijohn . Add lemon juice and Pectolaze. Add the strawberry mixture.
Leave to cool down to room temperature and measure SG, if not enough - add more sugar or I will try with some golden syrup. Aim for 1000 SG.
Ferment for a week, strain through a sieve. Leave to ferment for 1 week, rack, ferment and check for SG. Put it to 1005 or a bit more.
20.11.2010 - Racked and checked SG, still quite sweet, SG 1051. Will leave it for one more week before checking and racking again. It is currently fermenting really nicely. I have added some white grape juice to it so I do not really know how much sugar there is now... I will be more careful next time. There should be some science in it after all.
05.12.2010 - Racked. SG 1010. added 240 grams sugar. SG 1030
20.12.2010. SG=1020 , filled 2 pressure bottles with it.
Very good, bit too sweet
