Mixed tinned concoction.
Here we go in the new water bottle d/j just picked this up today, holds 4 gal, bubbling away like an indian after a spicy curry, but with a better smell. Only time will tell with this adventure.Discount Home Brew Supplies

Update on tinned concoction
Well what a beauty this turned into, and 25 bottles for less than a tenner, it tastes clean and crisp lightly fruity it reminds me of Blossom Hill California white. . This also has a real fast turnaround time: six days in primary, five days in d/j finished at 995. A little light in colour but great to drink straight away allthough four bottles to cellar to mature, think I'll try one every three months and try to remember to update.Discount Home Brew Supplies

Top notch Duffbeer!
I am about to stabilise my third batch of tinned fruit wine tonight. I am having great success with this style, in fact, I tasted my tinned peach & apricot last night and think it could be the best wine I have made to date! Incredibly well balanced, lovely fresh acidity, not toooooooo dry. I will age it around 4 months in DJ and at least six months in bottle before I get stuck in.
My tinned strawberry has become a lovely 'blush' wine, smells and tastes wonderful.Boo

Hey all, I never knew that ya all could be so found of tinned wine. I have used the tinned berry wine especially for fruit wines and also the apricot tinned fruit fruit wine base (which I had to throw out because I over did the sulphite concentration and never could after trying all kinds of things to try and get the fermentation started). I use the 100% juice concentrates to add body in a number of my wines and I have now notice that there is a 100 % juice concentrate of wild berries - blackberries and raspberries - it is a terrific juice at least for my taste?? come to think of it I bet this wild berry juice concentrate would make a good wine or maybe as a body builder for the fall blends???!!! Cheers all... DAW

Re checked the recipe and yup 3 tsp is what it says, sometimes a lot of pectolase is needed (for example my plum wine needed 6 tsp before it cleared)
Also the method used employs hot water and this always requires at least double the dose of pectolase.
