Going On a Booze Cruise On Lake Wallenpaupack Update

Just a little quick update on the wine making. Took the gravity of the wine and it seemed to be pretty stable. The next step was to add some crazy junx (potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulphite) to the wine to help it clear and stir it to get as much CO2 out of it as possible. Also this other crazy bag of liquid derived from shells of shellfish and eggs...




















Also a bunch of water was added to top it off, hopefully it didn't water the down the wine too much.



Now we just have to wait 14 days before checking if the wine has cleared before bottling! Woot! Then there is some crazy thing saying that once bottling it has to sit for like 3 months before being consumed. Forget about that I've waited long enough for this junx to be ready, it doesn't matter what it tastes like as long as it gets the job done.
