2 470g PEK Jar Blackcurrants in light syrup 1.5lb sugar (approx. Aiming for SG 1.080) 2tsp Pectolase 1tsp Yeast Neutrient Bentonite GV2 Yeast 1 250g tin of Red Grape Concentrate Water to 1 Gallon (I personally went for a bit more so I'd have some left over to top up with) This is the Blackcurrant Rose that I had at
It should be drinkable at 4 months.
It turns out off-dry but I think there is some unfermentable sugars used to preserve the blackcurrants. Not 100% sure though.Dutch Gunderson: Who are you and how did you get in here?
Frank Drebin: I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.

Just managed to get my local white grape (Chasselas I believe) fermenting. Absolutely delighted it has taken a week and two different wine yeasts. Gervin D just not happening, ended up with Saccharomyces Bayanus (like Lalvin EC-1118 but Vintners Harvest manufactured). Even that took longer than I expected though.
Anyway hurrah, thought I might have had to chuck it.Simon
