A second attempt at Guava

[Blacksmith1]

This time using canned guava paste.
2 cans, 1 1/2 gallons of water, and 2tsp pectic enzyme to start.
Tried using my powered wisk, this stuff is thick. Had to break out the big gun...

So time to let it sit, I'll check it tomorrow, and see what it needs, adjust the SG and pitch. Hopefully this works.

Found a recipe for jam wine that recommends more pectic enzyme to help break down the extra pectin, so I added another tsp, it also said give it several days to do the job. We shall see.

I’ve always wanted to do a guava wine. I’d like to know how this turns out.

The first one turned out good but was a different brew altogether.
Look here

Ok, this turned out drinkable but somewhat sour. Very dry, slightly tart. The wife and I tried a few bottles (1.5l) as they aged, then killed the the last 3 right in a row. I am now out of home brew and won't be set up to start again for a few months. I'm hoping my watermelon will be ready sometime in there, I know my banana will not be and they are all that's left in the carboy......
