Plan for tonight. ....

6l White grape juice
4l apple juice from concentrate
2 x 500ml bottles Bottle green elderflower cordial
5tsp pectolase
1l strong tea
5kg sugar
5g Gervin GV2 yeast

est sg: 1.100
est abv: 14.5%

will be first proper attempt at wgj based wine, assuming that Waitrose have some when I go after work tonight haha
 
Day 13 for this batch, down to 1.040... slower than usual but sitting at about 18deg

Come on come on you're going to taste good 😃

bit lighter in colour now, kinda strawy...

fermentation was very non - vigorous, just a little foam on the top at various points... getting there though
 
I got my hands on some WGJ and made up a 1 gallon batch of 1xLt WGJ + 1xLt Tesco pure pressed apple with Elderflower (5% extract), a taste test of the apple/elderflower before i started and i found it to have a strong enough elderflower taste coming thru, time will tell if fermentation decreases the taste of it enough to mask it completely or whether it would need some help to bring it out more, I much prefer though making a smaller batch of something up first though to see where it stands and then add to it if need be rather than end up with something that's potentially overpowering.
