looking for advice
Below is my attempt at the wine in Terry Gareys book (apple wine)
1/14/2007 Apple wine
Recipe The Joy of Home WineMaking by Terry Garey (pg 24)
12oz can of frozen apple juice concentrate Old Orchard
6oz of lemonade concentrate Minute Maid
30oz (3 jars) of apple blossom honey Love Creek Orchards
½ tsp pectic enzyme
½ tsp yeast neutralizer
1.100 hydrometer at 84° F SG
Wyeast Labs 4766 Cider smack pack
Topped off up to 1 gallon.
Fermented at 64.7°-65.6° F
1/25/07 1.008 hydrometer at 65° F
What should the sample taste like? It tastes a little sour/harsh with
my untrained tongue. Will it soften as it ages? How does one train
the palate (sp?) to recognize appropriate flavors? Any body in the
Chicagoland area? I'm in a western burb.
