Thanks

Mike any idea what 4 cups sugar and 8 cups water would bring it down to

Thanks Mike.

Crushday: Sorry to pester you. Thanks for the calculator- am I correct that if I start out with 975 ml liquor and want it to be 30 % ABV I have to add 1463 ml syrup. Is that correct? Thanks Monty

Started a new batch of Lemons in 190 proof Everclear. But can’t find my original recipe. How much water & sugar to drop it to 30% alcohol. It was a liter bottle of everclear and 14 lemons. Thanks for any info. Monty

Missed the 9. Your right.

It was down to .98 this morning so transferred to carboy for secondary fermentation. Tasted it - think it is the best wine I’ve ever tasted at this stage. I’m impressed. Old Corker I’ve got a Amarone that went over a year old a couple months ago. It also was really good.

Did the RJS En Primeur Amarone w/skins - it’s been in the bottle for a year and a half opened a couple bottles at 1 year it was excellent - will leave till it’s 2 and start drinking. Can’t wait

Thanks sour grapes. I missed the 1 it was 1.120

Started it today. Substituted ec1118 with BM4x4 and added go-ferm. Sg was 1.20 also bumped oak up from 80 to 100 gr. When Sg is down 1/3 plan to add 5 gr ferm - k then when drops 1/3 again add another 5 gr. Don’t think it will get that high but fermented dry should give 16%. We will see. I see...

Just received Super Tuscan kit. Anyone done this kit? What tweaks did you do and how did it turn out? Would you do something different?

Not for dinner but to have late eve snacks with friends. 6 hr brine, rinsed and dry for an hour, 3 hours on smoker w/ apple and maple wood

It has to be the recipe. I have a few bottles of sparkling lemon mead from 2015. That still tastes great. Don’t give up. Find a new recipe.

BM4x4 I used 7.5 g of yeast and 7.5 g of Go Ferm in a cup of water which is between 95F-105F (so I target 100F), stir and let sit for 20 minutes then pitch without stirring. When 1/3 of sugar depleted, add 5 grams of Ferm K.

It was from a kit. RJS Craft Winemaking En Primeur Winery Series Amarone Classico I will remember that prob start another right away.
