Norton and Muscadine wine making
I found a local vineyard that sells Norton and Muscadine grapes. Had planned to pick 200-400lbs of Norton, but after several hours of picking and having to pick out the bad grapes from 90% of the bunches, decided to pick muscadines instead.
Here is a good bunch, not many were like this.
Here are the Muscadines.
Ended up with 40 lbs of Norton grape and 60 lbs of muscadine. It takes about 100 lbs of fruit to make 6 gallons, soooooo that’s right I got lazy and just decided to crush them together. I know you shouldn’t mix, but dude I was wiped out after picking most of the day. By the way you pick muscadine, one grape at a time.
So here is what it looks like after yeast and the fermentation working well.
