Hi,
I'm in the process of making a sweet potato wine.
After peeling I have 42 lbs of sweet potato
I was able to get 4 gallons of water and 42lbs of potatoes in to my 10 gallon fermented. I did not have any raisins, but i added 10 ripe bananas. I added 14 lbs of sugar. I have not checked the sg yet because i just added the 2 tsps pectic enzyme. I was planning on a 6 gallon batch so i might have to split this to get a lower abv. I peeled, cut, and boiled the potatoes for 25 min. I then added them to the primary. Tomorrow I will check acid and sg. What sg should i shoot for i was thinking 1.090? If I go for 6 gal, do you think 8 lbs per gall is enough?
Any advice? Does this look ok?
Thank you,
Nate
