Peach Wine!
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 4:31 am
Heeeeeyyy!
I'm making peach wine but a couple things!
1. None of the recipes I used told me what to put the wine IN when fermenting. I put it in a large glass container but the air gap is only like 2" before it hits lid... when I add the yeast, will this kaboom?
2. It asks me to add citric acid and yeast tomorrow... I forgot to buy citric acid, or whatever.. does it really need it?
3. I'm unsure as to the drinkability date. Same recipe type says 2 weeks, another sayd 2 years! Which is it?
4. I kinda got annoyed at the 'squish peaches with hands' idea, so I threw all the peaches in there and mushed em up with a fork. I figured I could either strain them out later or peach chunks would aactually be kinda awesome.. how bad of an idea was this?
5. I used tannin but I'm slightly allergic to it (with the results of me being drunk for 30 minutes on one shot of wine and then hungover for 30 minutes and then fine)... could I make it next time with less? or none?
6. I like cheese, do you like cheese?
