Notes
5/27/2021 - "Brew" Day - blitzed peaches in the blender with some hot water and added straight to fermenter and sugar mixture. Topped up with filtered tap water to reach just under 6 gallons to account for fruit pulp loss. Added re-hydrated yeast and mixed with mix-n-stir to combine. Put the lid on loose so I could continue mixing in the fruit a couple times a day for the next 7 days.
6/3/2021 - Poured into a new sanitized bucket with a nylon liner so I could strain out the fruit. After removing the fruit, I aerated one more time and put the lid on tight to age until I'm ready to transfer to secondary.
6/17/2021 - SG = 0.998. Transferred to secondary along with .25 tsp potassium metabisulfate. The wine was very cloudy, so I'll probably need to add some sparkolloid and rack again at some point. I wasn't getting a lot of peach aroma or flavor when I sampled this one. I was getting a lot of the citrus from the added lemon juice, so hopefully that balances out with a little time. I'm hoping I didn't make a mistake by adding so much lemon juice up front. We'll see what happens.
7/7/2021 - FG = .990. Transfered to another fermenter along with 5 tsp sparkolloid added to 1 cup boiling water to help clear it up. Very cloudy still, but I saw a good amount of peach sediment in the bottom of the fermenter, so it should eventually clear out fine I think. I'll let it sit here for a month or two and see what happens.
