    That's a good question. Looking at my notes, I have never measured the SG afterwards. Everything was done to taste really.

      You know, I never got round to making this !!
      I really should, as I have the gooseberrys in the cupboard already !!

        Can anyone tell me if there is a reason for putting the goosberrys in after? If I like my wine dry then would it matter if I put them in in the beginning?

          Yes it would matter.

          You only add the juice and not the gooseberrys themselves.

          If you add at the beginning, most of the flavour can be lost during fermentation. Adding as a late addition or in this case after fermentation has finished the flavour is preserved.

            I have a batch of this which I keep meaning to bottle (and more to the point taste - again). Really very good indeed - that will be about a year in the DJs (I mixed tinnned gooseberry and tinned lychee juice).

              That sounds like a really tasty combination. I think I have both in the cupboard somewhere, I will have to give that one a go.

                Now that I have been reminded that I wanted to try this... and have discovered a few tins of gooseberries in the cupboard already.... I have a bit of a dilema ??
                A couple of the tins in my cupboard are "gooseberries in syrup" some are "in juice"
                Is there a difference in the flavour profile of each of these, does anyone know... or sweetness level ?
