Thanks...that is what I was looking for...for now.

I am trying to make a sweet cherry type for my wife. It based on a welches type recipe. The OG is 1.070 for a lower alcohol %. Is there a good way to keep the alcohol taste to a minimum? What I am realy wanting to know is how backsweeten step by step using concentrate. Do I backsweeten then...

I thought I put this in the beginners section...sorry. Please move if needed. Shows how much of a beginner I am.:sh

I am currently fermenting my first batch. I pitched the yeast last night and have a nice 1 inch layer of krausen on top. My question is, when do I make my transfers? Is there a chart or link to tell when or at what gravity to rack and add additives?

If I do the Welches do I use tap water, distilled or RO water. Does it matter?

Thanks for the info. Do the Juice concentrate(welches) make a good wine? I might just have to start with the cherry wine posted. Any changes you would make to the recipe?

I have been brewing beer for a while now no my wife is wanting to get into wine. She likes the cherry wine from St. James or a sweet red wine. Is there a kit that will provide good results for a first time wine. The beer stuff seems easy to grasp but the wine procedures have me thinking a kit...
