Hello AJ Rawls:

Thank you kind sir. 100lbs. of peaches at the homestead, ~1/2 of
which must be shared with SWMBO.

Stopped by the gocery store for all of the adjuncts mentioned below
and will make 5 gallons of peach wine with raisins.

Then four additional gallons of peach wine. One gallon each with the
following adjuncts: white grape juice concentrate, brown sugar, honey
and bananas.

What do you call an 'adjunct' in country or fruit wine? Or is this
simply blasphemy in the wine making world and not worthy of a name?
:-)

Next year I hope someone asks, "which do you like better?". I should
be ready!

Thanks,
Steve Vegos

spud's plea:

There are references to recipes that use brown sugar for peach wine,
evidently to help with the lack off body, but I haven't found an
actual recipe. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Also, for those that might have tried peach wine with the various
adjuncts, grape juice, raisins, bananas, brown sugar, etc., which do
you like the best.
