I now have eighteen 375 mil and four 185ml bottles of Mojave Spirits (my
brand) Pomegranate Wine. The final numbers going into the bottles a
SG:1.011
pH: 3.67
TA: 0.7%
Maybe by the next batch I'll have a kit and know how to measure SO.
The final product came out just on the sweet side of dry or the dry side
of sweet depending on your perspective. For those who might not have read
the first couple of reports I put out, I started with 2.5 gallons of
unadulterated, i.e. straight pomegranate juice. Unlike the published recipes
that all seem to want to make "white concord grape" or "Sun Maid Raisin"
wine flavored with pomegranate juice. I hope that doesn't offend too many
folks.
My sweetie-pie said, "I like it." Can't get it better than that for me.
It finished up with a nice tangy pomegranate flavor.
Instead of using shrink-on caps, I used red dipping wax I bought from
Midwest. About half-way through I figure out how to get a nice cap over the
top. I was hoping for something resembling the wax cap on Maker's Mark but
the wax wouldn't stick to the glass bottle. Anybody know the secret to that?
I hope to put it away for at least three months before I open a bottle.
Thanks for all the help you guys have given me.
