08.06.2010
Added 1.8 litres of white grape juice from Lidl.
gravity is now 1048

12.06.2010
gravity 990.
added 200 grams of sugar. Gravity is now 1010 (??)

Very nice  but characteristic. Dry and strong grapefruit taste with tangy nose? Rather good with sweet juice, grape juice for instance.

After a few months it got much better. The color is really good and the taste is not harsh anymore.
