Alright so I just did not know where else to post this.
About two weeks ago I started an experiment.
Wondering what would happen if you made a base wine.
What is Wine made of I asked myself. Juice and sugars.
Juice is just flavored water.
I to started a batch of water! MMM .... WATER! LOL
So here goes.
4 pounds of sugar (wow I know too much)
water to one gallon.
Premièr Cuvée
Into a carboy
SG was off the charts... I thought my hydrometer was going to jump out.
after these two weeks,which was neat because you could see totally what was going on inside,
I have just racked this to secondary and decided to have a taste.
To my suprise it was not at all bad... pretty good actually, it is like alcoholic candy. I am thinking about maybe adding some melted down candy cane to one bottle and mint to another.
I have a couple flavor additives like raspberry I might try also.
Maybe this will turn out awesome maybe not awesome, we will see.
Has any one else ever tried this?
Tony

about a month ago I ended up putting 2/3 bottle of pure lemon juice concentrate from the bottle in this.
I thought it allot like Skeeter Pee ......... Only backwards.
I filtered it last night and it is very great.
Lemonade like when I was a kid .... I think it has 18-20 ABV but you can not taste any at all.
