Raisins
I have seen in the past on fruit wines to add raisins. Why, what purpose is
it (body). I just made a peach wine with 35 Lbs of peaches. Will adding raisins change the flavor much and, how much should I add? Tom -- Home of the MOON RIVER BREWERY & DELANCO VINEYARDS |

So long as you don't over do it it will enhance rather than change the flavour. I think about 1/2lb per gallon (UK) is recommended. |
