Sometime within the past year or two, my household decided they like wine. Lots of wine. And so, my hand has been forced to get a batch going.

I did start in on this hobby making wines, but that was so long ago that I would not call myself a wine maker

Being a brewer mostly, I have nearly all of the equipment that I need to, except for the standard wine potions, but picked those up for under 10 bucks. And after perusing several wine sites, not much, if anything had really changed since my last venture.

Had planned on doing a kit, but I had a pile of red currants I was gonna make a blonde beer with. Might as well use them up.

Just over 3 lbs..or enough for a gallon. But I am shooting for 3 gallons so gonna add these to a white concentrate. Yep. The old Welches white.

I of course screwed up my volumes, but I did have enough concentrate to recover.

(Shot of the solids dropping out while the enzyme and campden are doing thier stuff)

Ended up with 4 gallons of 1.095.

Took a look this morning and the yeasties are firing on all cylinders. So I’ll report back on the first racking
