Last Saturday we had wine class again at the Porter House Brew Shop. It was a good class with some new wine makers learning the basics. I always enjoy getting new people started in this hobby, and we will have some new wine makers now.
I made an Apple Wine for class that night and I tried a new recipe. Usually I make my apple wine from apple cider, but we did not get any apples from our trees this year. We had a late frost. I decided to buy some apples from the store and make apple wine with fresh apples. We used McIntosh and Golden Delicious apples for this recipe. I used 15 pounds of apples, 8 pounds of sugar, and 4 gallons of water for this batch. I added yeast nutrient, tannin, and acid blend. The complete recipe will be on my Wine Recipe Page so I encourage you to check it out. This is a perfect time of year to get apples, so give it a try.
Enjoy!
