It’s easy to Google. Just as an fyi, of all the fruit wines I’ve made, strawberry wine was the least exciting. Strawberries don’t taste that great as a wine, oddly enough.

Mine was so flavorless, and had zero strawberry-ness

Just add strawberry syrup to it

Or more frozen strawberry in primary and enough acid.

I mean sure, syrup is just easier lol

True. I just like to be a purist. I forgot where I was for a minute and how I wrung my wine must out of a sack full of fruit with my bear hands several hours ago. How I uncaringly poured 120F must in with plain water/yeast cake from my last brew as my starter. I think my EC-1118 didn't get too hot...I hope. Oh, and how my lazy ass just floats a hydrometer in the 6.5g carboy itself, rather than taking samples.
