high temp. for pectic enzyme, etc.

Mar 04, 2004 0 Replies

In this impromptu batch of banana wine (they were dirt cheap at the grocery), I added 3 tsp. pectic enzyme, 3 tsp. acid blend, 1 tsp. grape tannin, 6 tsp. yeast nutrient, and 1/4 tsp. pot meta right after mixing the freshly boiled bananas (23 lbs., no peel) and water with



8lbs. sugar and 2 cans of Welches Niagra concentrate, all steaming hot, to the tune of around 6.5 gal. Afterwards and after research it looks like the pectic is worthless above 140F. So, will the high temperature of the must affect anything besides the pectic enzyme?
