Re: Plum Wine?
You need more plums... I use 4lb per gallon, 3 at a pinch.
2011-09-23
4lbs plums halved and stoned; 75g raisins; crushed campden tablet; 5g root ginger, thinly sliced; 2 cloves; 1/4tsp citric; 1/4tsp tartaric; 1/2lb sugar; around 1/2 gallon boiling water.
(b) version has a finely sliced 5/8" piece of vanilla pod
covered and left for 5hrs, 1/2 gallon cold water, 2.5g pectolase
covered and left ~3 days
strained, brought to boil (just), poured over 2lb sugar
Gervin GV5 yeast(half pack per gallon) + 1tsp nutrient per gallon, pitched at just under 30 - rehydrated at 35, so less shock, in theory
2011-11-22 Racked with sulphite.
Eventually turned out very nicely. Takes afew months for initial sharpness to fade.
