Crimson Stag

Rehydrate yeast with Go-Ferm dissolved in a small amount of water. Crush grapes and add to honey, along with whole black raspberries and aronia berries. Top up with water to reach 5 gal. (18.9 L)

Pitch yeast. Ideal fermentation temperature is 70–72°F (21–22°C) but it’s not a problem to ferment warmer. Add Fermaid O and Fermaid K according to indicated schedule. Cold crash when gravity reaches 1.033 (8.3°Bx) and press off fruit. Add sulfites and sorbate to stabilize.

Filter out yeast through step filtration until stable. Let bulk age for 3–6 months and enjoy!
