As is my tradition, I tasted all the grapes at the place and I choose the Zinfandel (Big Brass)
Zinfandel Recipe
108 lb Zinfandel grapes (DePalma, Ripon CA)
32 oz cherry juice concentrate (Montmorency Tart from King Orchard, Central Lake MI)
8 oz cranberry juice concentrate
4 g pectic enzyme
11 g yeast energizer
Premier Red yeast from Red Star
The grapes were very sweet at 28.4 Brix, but the cherry concentrate made it sweeter, and the cranberry less so. Still I am at 29.4 Brix which is 15.7% alcohol. Probably stronger than I want.
