Apple Wine Recipe
- 2 ct frzn apple juice
- 4 x 1\ C. sugar
- 6 tsp acid blend (the frzn stuff tends to be sweet!)
- 1 x campden tablet
- 1 tsp yeast nutrient
- 1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
- 1/4 tsp grape tannin
- 1 pkt "all purpose" (white wine) yeast (LALVIN K1-V1116)
- Thaw the frzn juice and add in to your jug with about 2 1/2 qts of water.
- Boil about one qt of water and dissolve the sugar in it while it is boiling.
- Add in the sugar solution to the apple juice.
- Make a paste of the grape tannin in about 2 tbs.
- water to make a paste.
- Thin the paste so which it can be stirred in.
- Add in all of the ingredients, including the tannin, to the sugar-apple juice mix.
- Make sure the juice mix has cooled to about 70 to 75 degrees, then pitch the yeast.
- The starting SpG should be about 1.094.On the first racking (about 4 or possibly 5 days later) add in 3/4 c. more sugar.
- Then bring the water level up to 1 gal.
- When I have made this wine it has cleared nicely.
- It matured rapidly (I think).
- I didn't keep it till it over-mature in any case!
- Possibly a little less sugar, such as omit the 3/4 at the first racking, might make it drier.
- This recipe can be multiplied by as many gallons as you wish to make.
- However, one package of yeast for up to five gallons is sufficient.
