Like we did in episode 6 for the blackberry wine, it was time to transfer the strawberry juice/wine into a carboy to begin secondary fermentation. We believe we improved our timing with this batch as the specific gravity of the must was approximately 1.020, perfect ballpark!
Our quick taste of the wine-in-progress also proved to be more inspiring than our blackberry batch; a better balance of fruit with the alcohol was present this time!
For future shows, expect the creation of a third batch (this time GRAPE wine!) and also some adventures into clarifying, oaking, and eventually label creation and bottling!
Please leave your feedback and questions below! Or just say hi too!
