Just bought myself a new home in late july that has a bunch (grove?) of plum trees so badly neglected that they look more like bushes than trees. while we was moving in the plums ripened (a LOT of plums) and was thinking about what to do with them next year. I recalled having plum wine in the local oriental restaraunt and wouldnt mind tinkering a bit to see if I could come up with something similar.
anyway, I looked at jack kellers website and have seen acouple of recipies, but am a bit daunted by the firehose of terminology.
also, it has not been only the plums that have been neglected, so I have a list of house maintenance long enough that I cannot die until well over 2050
with that being said, I have some brewing supplies that someone gave me(corks, airlocks, etc) of unknown quality, and nearly a whole year before I need to be proficient in winemaking :) can anyone point me to a good website? I would not try googling as i really need to do some yard cleaning and dont have time for 40,000+ sites on winemaking (jacks site looks good, but not the best for the beginner)
I'd prefer a sweet wine, rather than a dry one.
approx 10-20 plum trees, most producting 20-40 plums per tree, all ripening within a two week period. mid wisconsin area
