Strawberry Wine

Recipe

Combine and boil

• 1/2 gal water
• 6 lb strawberries
• 1 lb raspberries
• 2 lb sugar

Then put in primary and add

• 1 t acid
• 1 t pectolase
• 1/4 t tannin
• crushed camden tablet
• 1/2 gal water

then blend or mash

After 12 hours, make up a yeast starter and add with 1 T yeast nutrient.

Cost

Fruit was ~$25, so this is a bit more expensive ($5/bottle).

Fresh strawberries in late May are around $1.5/lb so $6-$8.

Notes

I only added a 1/2 gallon of water last time figuring I'd get water from the fruit. But I didn't get much. I'd also like to add a little extra water to help separate out the fruit. Even better would be a nylon bag.
