Default Sour

Just to let you guys know, the white must that I had done like red wine (
skins and pulp in the must) was extremely sour after the first fermentation.
I am going to go all the way with it and if it is as sour as it is now I
might add some sugar and serve it as hard lemon aid.

Hi Roy,

Bear in mind that a decent period of aging can turn wines right around.
I have had batches that I have declared undrinkable, forgotten about
for a couple of years and found to be terrific.

Have faith!

Freshly fermented wine will always taste a bit too acidic (I think they
taste like drunk vomit myself).

It should age out a bitt.

I will give it up to two years and then if it does not change I will add the
sugar and call it hard lemon aid.
