After collecting a pityful bounty of summer fruit from the garden, I eventually got after freezing enough Strawberries 3lb (7lb, then 9lb by end of season last year) for some wine.
Had 600ml of purple grape juice left so, boiled (as had opened 5 days ago) and used to dissolve 1.220 kg of sugar in Dj. 2 tea bag cup of tea.
Blended the frozen strawberries, brought to boil and simmered and then into dj. Wish I had just cut them up as had to much in dj.
Cooled in cold water bath. Took og 1116 let it cool for another 2 hours took og 1200. Threw samples as needed fermentation room. Added nutrient, 1 tsp citric and 2 tsp pectolase and harris yeast (18%), wanted to use gv4 but that foams to much, so settled for the harris yeast.
Fermenting away.
