White wine - grape juice and apple juice. FINISHED 3

Ingredients:

White Grape juice. 1.5 liter.
Apple juice from Lidl: 3 liters.
Some lemon juice - 2 splashes from a squeeze bottle.
Tannin
Pectolaze
A tiny bit of tartaric acid.
Generic wine yeast.
Oak chips
-------------------------
Add everything to a demijohn. SG=1052. Added 360 grams of sugar. (theoretically it would make 1052+30) = 1082.

Fermenting very nicely now. Might add a can of mandarines I just found in the cupboard. I would then chop them up first and pour hot water on them - to kill any bacteria left after chopping.
---------------------------

2010.12.20 - added 240 grams sugars
---------------------------
2011.03.30 - stopped fermentation, by now half of demijohn left. not too bad but bit off smell.
Racked - very good.
Satoko's opinion: Dry, good homemade wine, close to a commercial wine. Like 'Franken Wine'
