Hi guys, I had a crack at making some gooseberry wine with my mother-in-law's harvest this year. I used the recipe on this link:
https://homebrewanswers.com/gooseberry-wine-recipe/
It seemed to go quite smoothly, got a lovely clear product after a couple months of aging. I went to bottle and had a taste (as you do!) and found it smelt and tasted a little too... earthy/bitter, if that's the right word to use. It's like the flavour of the skins has overtaken the rest of the fresh fruitiness I was hoping to achieve.
Will this disappear with age or is there something I could add to reduce the earthiness/bitterness?
