I just used pears but I added a mango. I followed Jack Kellers recipe. He has a lot of info and recipes for those interested in non grape wines. I didn't sweeten mine but I think it would have tasted fine if I had.

When I had access to pears I made a few batches. Very tasty.

I was told the reason for boiling the chips is to get rid of the roughest tannins so I assume they go into the water, so you wouldn't add the water. Now, why you only boils chips and no,other oak products is the question on my mind.

I made a gallon of wheat wine once. Won't be doing it again.

I once used some mango to add a little tannin

I had some whites that froze this year. I tasted them afterwards and they seemed ok. Did get some sediment drop in Traminette that I was having trouble clearing until they froze.

I have had a few that unintentionally had some carbonation in them. I didn't have any bad results but From what i hear it is easy to have exploding bottles if you don't know what you are doing..

I have heard mangoes can add tannin. I used them in the first pear wine I made when I didn't have anything else to add tannin on hand.

I was told boil in water for about 10 minutes to remove the harshest tannins, remove from water, then use. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I made coffee port once from a kit. I also took some pear wine that I had made but it was too thin for my taste. So I added a little brandy to it and called it port. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
