For an eventual 14% alcohol content, beginning spesific gravitiy should be 1100. How many liters of apple juice do you have? for example, consider that you...
I plugged your information into my Excel spread sheet. To take one gallon of must from 1.055 to 1.100, you would add 1.2 lbs of sugar (2.8 cups) of granulated...
BTW all fruit wines should not go above 1.090 starting gravity. Doing so the alcohol will overpower the fruit Tom Home of the MOON RIVER BREWERY and DELANCO...
Hi, When you test for sg do'nt you do that before adding any sugar? In other words it would be just the juice and fruit. Then add sugar to where the sg. should...
You should measure (and record) SG readings both before and after any additions of sugar so that you can determine how much has been converted to alcohol. If...
If you can get a refractometer it makes measureing pre-ferm sugars much easier. And generally 1.5 ounces of sugar per gallon of must will raise your brix by...
I buy Murray's cider (no preservatives and in a glass jug!), pour out about a quart into a saucepan, warm it, then add 3 cups of honey. I mix that with the...

Apple juice from Sam's Club has potassium sorbate in it? I thought it wouldn't ferment. I buy Murray's (available here in SE Virginia) because it is...
I've seen some juice labeled as "Apple Cider" in Sams that does have the sorbate.added. That's not the one I used. The type I use has two plastic bottles...
Hi K, Here's the great thing about turbo yeast: This yeast ferments eight kilos of sugar in a 25 liter mash. While ordinary fast-acting yeast produces 12-13%...

Is a TA of 5.28 too low for a chard (ph 3.63)? It just completed MLF and dropped from 7.65 / 3.46. I was surprised at the amount of tartrate crystals it...
In my opinion yes that is to low.. of course that depends alot on the residual sugar your going to leave, if leaving dry I would say around 6.0 g/l give or...
