Plum wine #2 2015
Just having made plum wine a few days ago I didn't expect to be thinking about making this wine again so soon. I found plums on sale at Aldi and couldn't pass them up. They were selling Sugared Plums which I had never seen before. So I snatched them up along with a can of frozen apple juice.

Pectic enzyme
Wine yeast
Notes:
Pitched yeast on Sunday morning June 21 at 10 am.
Specific gravity: 1.122, a bit high but not a full gallon of liquid so a bit off. I will top up to a gallon when racking.
June 29, 1st racking
July 19, 2nd racking, Gravity 0.993, beautiful ruby color.
No noticeable fermentation.
August 29, wine is clearing nicely and is a much richer color than plum wine number one.
September 13, removed wine from cold storage. Carboy has been in the garage fridge for two weeks to clarify and stabilize.
November 27, 2015: Bottled wine. Added stabilizer and three ounces of sugar syrup
