DAY ONE

Instead of adding 6.75 cups of sugar (3 lbs) as stated in the recipe, added only 5 cups this time to make an SG of 1.095.

36 HOURS

Added 1/3 packet of Red Star Montrachet yeast.

DAY FIVE

Only 1.060 SG. Very slow, although yeast was added a bit later than normal.

NINE WEEKS (January 30, 2010)
Racked. Very bland, woody? flavor with a lot of sparkle. Stirred vigorously to remove CO2, added almost 16 oz. cold, hard, city water. Added 1/2 tsp. acid blend. Still has an "off" flavor.

Very disappointing so far because previous red current recipes have been very good.

Bottled. Still not a very good flavor. Very acidic.

Opened a bottle tonight (2 years and a few months). Excellent flavor!!! Semi-sweet.
