I have several friends who like "sweet" wines, either after dinner, or over ice as a "social" wine. I have a big red kit, and was thinking of back sweetening one or two gallons of it to give as gifts. Sacrilege, I know, but I am making wine so I can have what I want, not what "they" say we should drink. Not going to fortify, just sweeten. Any suggestions on what SG to shoot for?
All four of my 3G carboys are in use, and I refuse to buy another, so it will have to wait for the blueberry and another one to bottle before I can start it. My son doesn't drink alcohol, I am the only wine drinker in the house. I don't have space or money for another carboy, and I don't want this obsession to take over my house completely. Yes, I know, too late!
The Blueberry is MUCH BETTER dry than I imagined, and I am not sure how it will taste sweetened. That may need an F-pac. The French Med Toast Oak is a great contribution so far. The Brandywine is slow in clearing, but will get oak some time soon.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
