Success !

My cousin dropped off a great amount of white concord grapes, peaches and a cantaloupe from her garden, well past their due date.Picked nearly a week before dropping the fruit off at the house, I picked over the fruit to save the best, most was rot.
Washed the fruit, let dry then tossed it all into the food processor, let macerate for 48 hours then pressed to keeve. I achieved the desired brown cap allowing for stratification, a clear juice was accomplished
Racked the juice into a bottle then placed into the fridge for a slow fermentation only after I took a deep draught. To my delight a slight effervescent developed, on it's way to a natural sparkling drink if I don't drink it all before the fermentation has completed.
