Hi Everyone, (I hope this is posted in the correct place/category)
I have a dry Reisling that is cleared and ready to bottle, but I would like to make a few bottles of "sparkling" or "frizzante" style and was wondering what the proper proportions of sugar and yeast per 750ml bottle would be. I don't need it to be as bubbly as a "Champagne" style, but more like a Frascati "fizzante". I'm still going to use the heavier bottles to avoid any cellar explosions, but will also do a couple of 2 liter plastic soda bottles which I would then like to "rebottle" into something nicer for serving.
Anyways, it was suggested to me to use 1/8 teaspoon of yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar per 750ml bottle, and for the 2 liter soda bottles, 1/4 cup sugar and stick with the 1/8 teaspoon of yeast.
Does this sound about right?
