Magda (blueberry wine)

I expect it to be yummy, but I'll let you know.

3 lbs blueberries
3 lbs sugar
H2O to make a gallon and a quart
1 t pectic enzyme
1 t citric acid
1 t yeast nutrient
1/4 t yeast energizer
Lalvin K1-1116 yeast

Keep everything sterile.
1) Smash the berries. Add sugar and boiling H2O. Stir to dissolve sugar. Cover and set aside to cool.

2) Add enzyme, acid, nutrient and energizer. Adjust sugar for alcohol content. Pitch yeast or starter.

3) Stir daily for 5 0r so days. Strain and transfer to secondary. Rack, age and bottle as usual.

Try to age it for at least a year.
