Notes

Not sure what the grape juice will do in terms of gravity readings but should add a bit. Splitting a gallon to have half in the boil to go through all of primary fermentation and pour the rest in after primary fermentation hopefully retaining more grape flavor.

Keep in primary for about 3 weeks. Will age 2.5 gallons of this batch in a wine barrel and bottle condition the rest. Not sure how the hop freshness will come through but could be good in the bottles after 2 weeks. Should age in the barrel for 3-6 months.
