Never heard adding glycerin to wine but I do like a hint of sweetness. The 2 I am trying in 5 gal is Pear and plum. Asian plum wine is good and hoping to eventually get to that flavor profile.
I haven't made a 5 gal Batch but was going to follow directions on bottle pretty much. Dump 1 gal Batch in vessel and use gal container to add 4 more Gallons to jug.
Hi Winemaker81, I'm using Vinters best for the price and a more consistent batch for larger fermentations. I did realize main ingredients is the Pear or plum juice as I thought. I just wanted to make bigger batches more consistent to give out and I make smaller batches for personal preference.
Hi BigDaveK, I do have a couple hydrometers and broke 2 so far lol. I usually use ec-118 for higher alcohol content, d47 for mead, and kv-116 for reds and other wines. Thanks for response, it's going to he helpful.
Hello all! New to this group or forum. Usually I use Facebook groups but reading some of these answers I feel this is a better choice. I just started last year making mead and wine. Not working out the greatest. I'm really looking for a way to use Vinters wine base and get around 16% or higher...
