This is our very first attempt at at-home-wine-making.
Our initial hydrometer readings were as follows:
Specific Gravity 1.020
Brix 5%
Potential Alcohol 2.5%
We purchased grape juice from a local vendor that was already pressed and destemmed. Do these readings indicate that our wine will yield an even lower Alcohol percentage? If so, is there anything we can do in the coming weeks to help, such as adding sugar? If yes, at what point in the process should we add it?
Thank you for any advice you may have to offer!
