Last year I froze the peaches from my "Frost Peach" trees. I was going to
make jam. I added pectin and sugar but not much, and a little lemon juice, all was boiled and placed in plastic bags and froze. Color is very bright, no oxidization. I now want to make wine, probably a peach(80%) apple(20%) blend. I currently make wine from Eastern Washington grapes and do not use kits. Most on line "recipes" are a teaspoon of this or a few tablets of that. I have a good pH meter and can calculate Total Acid, a refractomiter for sugar (prior to fermentation), hydrometer, a digital gram scale for chemical additions, and I use "rippers" for SO2. That being said I want to share my process and see if I'm within existing perimeters.. Add 4 gallons frozen peach pulp to open top (with lid) primary fermentor, add a gallon of unfiltered pasteurized apple juice and wait for thaw. Add water to 10-12 gallons and check pH, sugar and TA Add Acid blend to get TA to .6%, add water/more sugar to get to 25 BRIX, SO2 to 35 PPM, add pectic enzyme @10g/gallon (too much?) Should I also add Grape Tannin? if so how much In a day or two add Wyeast, not sure which one...but the brew shop is helpful, add ML at rapid fermentation. Since I crushed the peaches, and have added pectic, I'll probably just transfer to carboy and let it all settle..then do a series of racks every 3-4 weeks till clear. Once Fermentation is over add SO2 to 50PPM Once clear I'll rack to bottling tank, add sugar to 1-2%, add sorbate, verify SO2 to 50 PPM and bottle. |
