Question about backsweeten??

[tmh4064]

I plan to stabilize and back sweeten my black currant wine and was wondering if anyone has used the bar simple syrup you buy in the liquor department to back sweet instead of making your own??? I do believe it contains corn syrup.

Sorry I wish I could be more help as I have not tried anything but my own simple syrup. From what I have read some of the commercial stuff will cloud your wine or give it an off taste, although I have never heard of what you're talking about.

You wouldn't use syrup to stabilize your wine, sulfite and fining ingredients are for that. I have used either inverted sugar, as many of us do or a concentrate. With a concentrate it will have to rest to clear again.

I believe I had looked into that syrup awhile ago and was basically told just to use the sugar.

Sugar and an F-pac with currents should work better.
