I've been adding tinned fruit to wine number 1 for the last few months now and really enjoying the results. Peaches, apricots, pears, lychees...all good.
My only problem is that with some of them i'm getting a slight bitterness in the finished result. I'm fermenting dry and not sweetening so maybe that's where i'm going wrong. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Also, i've noticed the tinned fruit adds a lot of body and the alcohol content appears quite high. I'm starting as close to 1080 as possible but i'm assuming the fruit releases more sugar during the ferment?
