meadowsweet wine and fruit

Post: # 115965Post shell »

hi,i picked half a carrier bag of meadowsweet flowers and added about 12 strawberries,good handful of red grapes,8 green grapes,3 lb white sugar,4 lemons,packet of yeast for red wines in half a food intended plastic tub,now i`m stirring it daily for about 8 days,then i shall put it into a demijohn after of course sieving it through some muslin or gauze,the reason i`m telling you is,on another post it was asked why keep stirring as you disturb the natural yeast or something to that meaning,am i supposed to stir daily as i have been told to do or is this wrong info?the reason i added the fruit was because it seemed too bland and anyway the yeast i had was for red wine so i thought i`d better add something red, :drunken: i hope to get 1 gallon of wine from it,if ive made mistakes that can be put right pleaseeeeeee tell me
