What types of blueberries do have. They all have alittle different
characteristic.
I made blueberry wine, with berries collected from 4 different types.
Some of they were sweet and spicy, one was sweet and very juicy and
big in size.
Then you have ruebel- small- big on flavor and alittle sweet. Used for
making pies and such.
I added enough white sugar alone to get me to 10% alc. Anything above
that added by the fruit was a bonus.
I treated the blueberries as a medium pectin level and acid level. The
wine fermented very well.
Use a wine yeast that accents red fruits.
The wine finished 14-16%. Let age awhile with freshly bruised
blueberries in it.
Came very dark, but clear. Used ascorbic acid and citric to balance
wine with tanning.
All who had it wanted more.. 5 gallons did not last long
Hope I helped..
