Blanc Du Bois
 

So I am growing Blanc Du Bois in my yard. I bottled some last year
with a generic wine recipe, and only figured out recently what kind of
grape it is. So this year (seems to have ripened a bit late) I am
looking to use a recipe a little more specific recipe. Anyone know of
one? I only have enough grapes for about 3 gallons worth.

Thanks in advance...

Jack Keller has a recipe, but the exact link isn't working right now.

Here is his main site link http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/

The main thing I remember about it is that he says that it will turn
brown on pressing no matter what you do. To counter that, you need to
let the juice cold settle for a few days. The brown stuff will settle
to the bottom and you can rack it and proceed with starting
fermentation.

I was hoping to use that recipe.. but like you said the link is not
working.. I'll keep the cold settling in mind. I think Jack's
website mentions it elsewhere as well.

Thanks!

Google and some other services have a cache of what web sites looked
like before they changed. With a little effort I bet you can find that
recipe.

I got in touch with Jack Keller to let him know the Blanc du Bois link
was not working. He fixed it and it is up now.
