Blueberry wine

[bquiggerz]

Hello everyone,

Today I put on a blueberry WOW.
1 litre RJG
2 litre blueberry juice
750 grams of sugar
1 strong tea (3 bags)
Topped up to 4.5 litres with water

Hope it goes well.

Where did you find the blueberry juice and what % was it.

 

[Frogbrew]

What % was the blueberry? Have you made this one before?

 

[bquiggerz]

It wasn't massively high but got it from asda. The bottles that are 3 for 3 pound. I haven't made it before but I like to experiment. The OG was 1092 in the end

 

[bquiggerz]

It was a lovely deep colour though

Just an update, the blueberry wine is going like a rocket! First time a wines had a blow out. Thank god I just my own home made airlocks that are massive

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I just had the same happen with a WineBuddy Sav Blanc, luckily i had my home made blow off tube attached.

 

[bquiggerz]

I keep saying I'm going to get a bunch of tubing and just run them all into a jar and forgo airlocks altogether

So an update it fermented down too below .995 so did I do something wrong!

 

[Chippy_Tea]

No, the first wow I made got down to 990 and was very dry, the kits I make tell you to finish fermentation at 996 or below.

Good to know, it will need some back sweetening to be really enjoyable as its very tart atm

Just an update, after degassing, racking twice and back sweetening over the last couple weeks by blueberry wine had been bottled!

It tastes better than some wines that I've bought before! Really nice actually even SWMBO enjoyed tasting it and she's a beer drinker.
