wine making with mulberry simple syrup

[OffGridGrower]

I have been surfing the web and havent found an answer for this,
 I harvested berries from a mulberry tree in my yard and created a simple syrup with them, at the time I was trying to replicate a recipe I have for making your own ginger ale (soda pop). I ended up with about 4 mason jars out of about 4lbs of berries. It didnt work out so well with the sodas because I let the syrup go just a lil to long and it ended up more like maple syrup so it doesnt blend into the club soda like the ginger syrup does.

My question is can I use this syrup to make wine with? and if so how do I start it, (from all the stuff I have found so far online what I gather and which is confusing me is the recipes all start out with boiling the fruit/concentrate but I already did that with this syrup, I dont know if I can boil it again without messing up the syrup?)

And what type of yeast to get, I am ordering s-05 ale yeast for my beer, what is good for the wine?

Well, you could take a gravity and then just dilute it with water to the gravity you want to get the abv desired.
wive should ferment to about a gravity of 1.000
You can use the S-05 yeast. It will make a good clean tasting wine.

You could mix in your water and bring it to a boil, then cool it down and pitch your yeast. They would sanatize it. I have often threatened to make a blueberry mead and back sweeten it with pancake syrup and fresh blueberries. It would be a blueberry pancake mead.

I created a recipe using www.BeerTools.Com for ya. I picked an a fermentable that may be simular in fermentability, maple syrup.

thanks for that I  went over to that site but didnt have the time to figure it out, I am ordering all my supplies next month from AHS for making that simple beer and for this mulberry, cause my central AC went out for a couple of weeks and I just got it fixed, so there went any play money!

btw I worked for a friend last week after the flooding and made a deal with his neighbor to let me harvest his huge pear tree when they come in , in return I will prune his tree for him this winter. So whats some suggestions with brewing these pears? Oh and I will have peaches from my land pretty soon too, any suggestions with those?

Yum Perry or pear wine. You cam but a fruit press, expensive and something I want, you can use a juicer, or you can just peal them slice them thin (use the $20 hand crank apple peeler that peals and slices fast and easy. Them put the pear slices in a 5 gallon bucket with water and yeast. You will need to punch down the fruit camp several times a day. Once it finishes fermenting drain the wine off and into a secondary to finish and clear up. It may be cloudy, if that bothers you rack to a terciary and top up with distilled waterr and so on until it is diamond bright. Personally I would drink it from the secondary. If you are picky you can adjust the final acidity with ingrediets from AHA and sweeten it up to taste. You will be able to perfect it from batchto batch. Oh, and you can put all the waste from the primary in your composter.

I hope that helped,

P.S. add a little honey to make it a Melomel, YUMMM!
