Day 1
3 lbs raspberries (approx. 4 pints)
7 pts water
2# sugar or 4 1/2 c (1/4# less than the recipe calls for)
1/2 tsp acid blend
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp nutrient
1/2 campden crushed
NOTE: The water is city water. I boiled it for 5 minutes to remove some of the chlorine that may be present. Will test for acid content when adding Red Star Premier Cuvee yeast in 24 hours.

Two Weeks after First Racking
This is the second racking within one month. I will rack one more time in the next two weeks. Added 1 cup of cold water. Good flavor though.

3 1/2 Months After Starting
Degassed with the plastic drill beater. Wine tastes OK. Added 1T Wine Conditioner to sweeten just a bit.
Added 3/4 c cold tap water (non-softened, city water) to top off.

Tastes good...a slight fizz/bite. Degassed extremely well. There was quite a bit of CO2 in the wine. Added 3/4 cup cold tap water. Airlocked.
