Grapes

[PalCabral]

This year I have harvested my Estonian grapes. No, it’s not much. I was thinking I could add the little juice I’ll get to the plums or the apples.

Question, can I freeze the grapes as is in the picture until a couple of days when I am musting my apples?

I have made a few grape Brandys Pal, I use a big chest freezer to freeze them, it makes it easier to bash the bunches to get the grapes from the stems..

Thanks, Copper!

Freezing them will benefit you by damaging the cell walls making it easier to extract the sugars in addition to what Copperhead said.

Wish I had read this yesterday. I spent 2+ hrs last night picking berries off the stems of 20 lb of Frontenac grapes. They are in the freezer now until I have time to try my hand a wine making once again. Will need to remember this for next year.
