If I am reading it right, that seems an awful lot of sugar (3.44kg) to add to dried apricots and 4 litres of grape juice.

What was the OG and projected ABV? :wha:

Overall about 1.3 kg, I keep getting wild readings with the must in, 1kg added sugar only. I know that in 1 ltr of the grape juice used theres 300g of sugar, so I estimated the apricots, might be a bit more or less sugar.

Completed ferment, 0.990, camden and finings. Noticed I put 4000ml of grape, edit to 400ml.

How does it taste?

Tau · Jul 7, 2016

Don't know, will taste when bottling.

Just bottled - tasted ok but camden was used, it is recommended that you dont sulphinate apricot wine, but last batch was ok after six months. Just knocked another batch, but using sultanas instead of white grape juice.

Just revoved must of second batch at S.g 0.992, added a little nutrient to finish off in next day or two, unsure if I will add a camden.
