Hey Up
I stupidly forgot to take any readings from my wine when I started making it so I have no idea what possible % I will have.
My freezer had broken & started to defrost, I only noticed it when I was halfway through brewing plum wine and then had to quickly use some blackcurrants in another barrel as they had gone to mush! So I had to stop and sort that out!
Anyway here goes
Both lots used Lalvin 71B-1122 (71B) Wine Yeast
Plum Wine
4KG Plums
2 KG Sugar
9 Liters of water
Blackcurrant Wine
4KG Blackcurrants
2 KG Sugar
9 Liters of water
Both barrels report a volume of 15 liters this i assume (I got my maths GCSE :P ) is due to the added volume fruit and sugar :P
Now how strong can I expect this to be? I want something with a bit of bite, atleast over 10%, if not how much sugar do I need to add to this?
