Fermentation Log #8: Stronger House Merlot
This fermentation log is for the following kit. This batch is only for half the kit because I don't have enough glass to hold on entire kit. Started (Dec 28th 2024) by mixing the following in 5gal plastic bucket:
- ~4L of Merlot Juice Concentrate from kit (sg estimated at 1.272)
- ~6L of water
Final mix gravity was 1.108. Yeast was EC-1118, which was not rehydrated and simply added to the top of the must. Starting at 1.108 I expect the final result to be stronger and maybe have more body than #7.
