I'm making a red zin from concentrate. I have enough concentrate to make 3.75 gallons at my target brix (23-24). I'm torn between two choices:
-add water to get to target brix @ 3.75 gallons
-add water + sugar to maintain target brix @ 5 gallons
Is chaptalization for the sake of stretching my batch volume going to get me lower quality wine than the first method? Or does that just depend on what I like?
I'm primarily a beer brewer - this is my first grape wine.
Thanks!
