WineXpert Increasing alcohol levels - Island Mist

[beggarsu]

Knowing what you're shooting for alcohol volume is the key adding more yeast isn't ,just yeast that will keep over the alcohol content ., simple syrup is really the way to go ,for me. That is. S




add an measure as you go............ that's a sure way

Do you mean dextrose (corn syrup)? Actually not being too familiar with this I've never shopped for it. There are only a few supermarkets in this small city. What brand is in use in your locality?

Thanks

No, "simple syrup" is made from table sugar and water.

simple syrup mix

making simple syrup add to the base to bring up the sg....................here's how, USUALLY 2 QUARTS OF SIMPLE SYRUP WILL BE ENOUGH TO BRING THE SG UP TO 1.10 THAT IS A GOOD STARTING POINT FOR THIS STYLE'S OF WINE KITS, THEY HAVE FPACS THAT' ARE SWEET AND WILL WITHSTAND THE WEIGHT OF THE ACHOLO AND BALANCE OUT BETTER UNDER AGING IF THAT'S YOUR PLAN IF NOT THEY WILL JUST BE MUCH BETTER BALANCED..MY OPPION...............


2 PARTS SUGAR TO 1 PART WATER..
