I've made this before, but I don't have notes on it.

2018

Lowest price I saw was about $1.60/lb, but I wasn't watching closely. I made a small batch.

2019

7/28 plums were $1/lb. These were much larger than the plums I'm used to, and they have white flesh, so the wine will probably not be as colorful. I bought 6lbs to make 1gal.

7/29 On the large plums, I could cut up one in 55s. I add 1tsp of pectolase.

8/1 I crushed the plum by hand, ran it through a sieve then ran it through a nylon bag. I got 1 gallon of juice at 4%PAV. I added 1.25lbs of sugar 9%PAV. Added 1tsp of yeast nutrient.
