I want to make champagne from white wine

[murphyaii]

I have the bottles (25) champagne corks and wires to hold them down.

I've ordered magnum ultimate medium white wine kit.

Has anyone got the best recipe for making this please?

I've also got champagne yeast as well.

Preparing for xmas!!!

To make champagne using bottles, you will need beer caps and a capper.

Add 20 to 24 grams of priming sugar into each bottle.

If you can fill each bottle with wine that has just completed fermentation (and is still cloudy with active yeast).

Cap each bottle and store for several months.

for each bottle..

riddle each bottle (invert and wait until yeast is in the neck of the bottle).

Once settled, place bottle into freezer until just the neck is frozen.

uncap the bottle.. (warning, this can get explosive) and insert cork/wire.

To add a bit to John's post, ferment your kit out first according to instructions. Do not add the stabalizer or it probably will not referment. Arne.
