I have both a Chardonnay and a Chenin Blanc that I am using for a sparkling wine. It has been bulk ageing since Sept. '09

How much (%) of sugar should I add per gallon for the secondary fermentation? I have a book that calls for .25 to 1.5% sugar. Any reccomendations.

What is the best ph level for sparkling wine?
 
1 1/2 ounces of sugar per gallon or less depending on how carbonated you want it. Ax far as I know the ph should be the same as any wine which s around 3.4
 
And don't forget, pictures are always good
