I added the 5 lbs of sugar, yeast, yeast nutrient and yeast energizer.. waited two days and still did not see any fermention going on, so after arguing with husband lol and letting him win, we took a hydrometer reading and it was 1.115 but the wine was bitter so he adds more sugar... Lord help...

Thanks, we added more sugar and yeast and it is slowly working.. Thanks for your help.... I did a lot of reading and finally came to an understanding of how to use the hydrometer...

5 gallons of peach juice and no water

Peach wine from my back yard, 7 lbs of sugars acid blend pectin enzyme wine tannin yeast nutrient. let sit for 24 hours then added wine yeast and sealed added airlock and fermented for 7 days, racked added campden tablet and let sit for a month. It’s pretty clear but not much alcohol

My reading was ,998 now is .996

By the refractometer, I added more sugar but husband added more yeast, hope we didn't screw up

My wine has fermented and I’ve rack it after a month, I took a reading and only had 4% alcohol. How can I raise the alcohol in my wine.
