DAY 1
Ok, this could end in tears and be bloody awful but here is an attempt to make a 21% proof Rose Wurzel. I've already done 5 gallons of Wurzel, and have 5 more of wurzel with peach clearing nicely so I thought I could take a chance here and see what happens.
The ingredients
1 packet of Gervin High Alcohol Yeast French Strain (GV4) (GV26)
5 litres of don simon pure orange juice (which = 1kg of sugar)
3 litres white grape juice (which = 489 grams of sugar)
2 litres red grape juice (which = 326 grams of sugar)
2.5 tsp tannin
5 tsp pectic enzyme
5 tsp glycerin
15 tsb Tronozymol
4KG sugar (to start with)
Water up to 5 gallons.
The result
The is SG.1.100 and when the SG has dropped to 1.00 I will add a little more sugar and let the ferment out and repeat until the yeasties cannie take no more
Thanks Wurzel for given us the original recipe. And Thanks to you and Moley for the help with the maths.
