This fruit wine base features the Patterson variety of apricots grown in California, which are known for their full flavor and aroma. Product comes in one 96 oz. can, which makes a fuller bodied and flavorful 3 gallon batch, or a lighter 5 gallon batch of fruit wine. Both recipes (3 and 5 gallons) are included on the product's label.

Required Additional Ingredients (not included)

• Table Sugar
• Acid Blend
• Yeast Nutrient
• Red Star Premier Cuvee Dry Yeast
• Pectic Enzyme
• Potassium Metabisulfite

Note: The recipes on the Vintner's Harvest can, call for more metabisulfite than is needed. We believe the amounts suggested are too much and will inhibit fermentation activity. We recommend the following dosages (based on the batch size) added at three different intervals: prior to fermentation, when fermentation is complete, and at bottling time:

• 5 gallons = 1/4 tsp potassium metabisulfite
• 3 gallons = 1/8 tsp potassium metabisulfite
