second attempt

[mrloon]

right this is my second attempt at strawberry wine (youngs) the first attempt was very nice but needed to be a little sweeter so trying again after all practice makes perfect. im also doing a peach wine (youngs as well) so fingers crossed all goes well

Good luck. I'm sure it will turn out fine. :thumb:

thanks bobsbeer, the first lot was drinkable just needed to be a bit sweeter. so im giving it another go and this time a little more sugar

If you just add extra sugar, the yeast might eat it all and you'll end up with a stronger, dry wine! You need to either max out the yeasts alcohol tolerance and have residual sugars, or stabilise the wine with campden and pot sorbate once its finished, and backsweeten then. Good luck!

thanks Gayle the instructions said add sugar to taste and i didnt put very much in (about half what they recomended as i dont like my wine to sweet) so just going to add a little bit more to see how it goes.. will let you all know how it goes
