Some friends have a plum tree that was going absolutely crazy with plums this year. I picked and filled a 4 gallon bucket with plums to make my first plum wine.
I pitted and juiced those plums which yielded a little over 1 gallon of juice. To that I added 4lb sugar and water up to 2.5 gallons. I ended up with a starting gravity of 1.096 which should get me a wine of about 12.5% abv.
I added 2.5 crushed campden tablets 12 hours ago to kill off the wild yeast and will add some Aurora Kveik in about 12 more hours.
When I pitch the yeast I'll add 1/4 tsp malic acid and 1/4 tsp citric acid. I plan on using the Tonsa 3.0 schedule where I'll add a total of 8g fermaid-o over 4 additions until the 1/3 sugar break.
