Tests to help replicate a batch?

Oct 29, 2005 1 Replies

Just unearthed a bottle of 1968 strawberry, made from a recipe in an old kitchen winemaking book (Roate?). Expected it to be vinegar, and it turned out to be delightful - almost a port.



As you can imagine, it was crafted under less-than-current conditions - both products and sanitation - so it may have been a fluke.



Are there any tests I can carry out on this to try to replicate it?



Thanks for any suggestions.

You can test the acid and sugar content with some basic test equipment but time is what made this what it was; that is hard to test for and impossible to speed up.
