Agave nectar?

[roblloyd]

Has anyone tried agave nectar instead of some sugar? I have a chianti in the primary that I am about to rack. I was goings to use that slurry for SP. I think the agave nectar might give it a nice favor but wasn't sure how to substitute or if it would even work.

I don't know about that BUT Agave Nectar makes one heck of a Margarita instead of all or some of the simple syrup.

I have never used it myselft but there has been some on here that have and seem to like it. Why don't you backsweeten a glass of your wine and taste it first?

 

[roblloyd]

Oh yeah. duh! I can try it at the backsweetening stage. I was thinking it should go in at first fermentation.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious and wacking me in the head with it!

Nice! I'm usually the one pointing out the obvious too! At least with stuff I know.... I'm getting there with this wine making stuff.
