Started

• 14.03.2011 Primary fermenter. SG about 1060-1065
• 20.03.2011 - racked to glass demijohn. SG: 985. Raised gravity by 30 points = 3x120 grams of sugar=360 grams.
• 28.03.2011 SG=1002
• 29.03.2011 poured a liter of wine into a pot, heated up, added chopped banana and 50 grams raisins. Added 84 grams sugar Poured back into the demijohn. Taste a bit too sharp, not much body due to lack of grape concentrate or raisins / banana added earlier.
• 30.03.2011 Stopped, very good, brown,
  
• 19.05.2011 Gravity 990. Much nicer but a bit too thin. Still - added 120 grams sugar to raise gravity by 10 points.
• Boiled some - about a litre and steeped 6 bags of berry / wild berry herbal tea in it for 10 minutes. Result remains to be seen - darker and properly sweeter but a bit strange taste of the tea remain - not bad though.
