Grapes from your garden

Just pick this group of grapes.... Marquette red... They'll be turned into jelly...maybe ferment some of the juice...

Look like the wild grape down here ......muscadine.

We might dip below freezing the next 3 nights.. Then the concords might become sweet... Right now, you'd need a boat load of sugar.... Not for me..

I see a chance to collect wild yeast and bacteria and play a little before making jelly.

I didn't clean up much right now....
I'm not sure the "wild side" is where I'll go...
Just kinda got a nice trail of fermentables I enjoy..... BUT...
When this bug stuff gets behind us, we'll do a beer-cation to the brewery that keeps you so busy.. AND. Looking to Loopies beer joint... That'd be cool

That would be cool. I myself need to go see Loopie and the brewery sometime.

You could introduce my taste buds to the wild side then...

When making jelly/lam... use pectin or gelatin?

Gonna tinker with grapes and making jelly today... I'll convert all my measurements to Liter stuff... What little bit Ive been messing with that.... The metric system sure is easier to play with when altering the quantities..

Edit:
250 ml juice
400 ml sugar
20 ml pectin (liquid)
This is my starting point... Not a fan of THAT much sugar... just over 4- 4oz jars... if this sets up good, the next time I'll reduce sugar to 300 ml...
