I have just noticed Sugars** 18.4g 20% would you calling it 92g total?

 

[cheapbrew]

yeah I think it was total 92g on the carton and 163g for the RGJ, I'll check me notes in the morning but I added just under 800g sugar, I like total sugar to = around 1050g

 

[Chippy_Tea]

The red grape and berries juice I mentioned on the last page is very cloudy, could be a bad one to clear.

I'm thinking I may do one with just straight RGJ and use 2L of it, has anybody else done this?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I and others have done the two RGJ one and it turns out very bland.

What was the SG with a totle off 1050g of suger
I'am still trying to get my head around grames of suger =SG

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I used to make all my juice wines a total of 1100g per DJ for 13% (ish) if I remember right its 1.090.

So for 14 or 15% what would you recommend

 

[cheapbrew]

You will need around 1.100 OG and 0.990 FG to get 15%, basically its a drop of approx 110 gravity points, so if you like your wine sweeter and usually finish around 1.000 then it would need to have an OG of approx 1.110 for 15%

1% = approx 7.362 gravity points

Thanks, what's that in suger grames please for about SG of 1100

I have actually gone the other way and now only use 900g total, Mrs Tea would be asleep in front of the TV after 3 glasses so we decided to make it a little less potent, it means i drink more but the effect is the same eventually. :lol:

I use KwiK clear, it usually clears in 48 hours.

Hi, I just bought this for my wows as it should be cheaper than buying individual sachets. However, the box says use within a month of opening! Is this unusable after a month or so because I was hoping it would last a lot longer. I'm only making about 2 - 3 gallons per month.

I know youngs clear it suggests it only lasts a month once opened, can i ask where you see this message on the KK box as i have never noticed it.

 

[hoptoit]

Just got a box of Kk and can't see use within one month on it.

 

[pelsy81]

Sorry my mistake it is the youngs. You ever used that? Think it will last longer than a month?

I would start with 1150g total sugars then check SG and adjust if needed.

with high abv wine it may stall so sugar is added in stages
