I saw your video on how to make blackberry wine for the first time last year-- i was looking for something else to make with my over abundant blackberry vines. I followed your recipe, word for word, and the wine was successfull. I bottled it in late July and opened the first bottle for my birthday in Nov, i know just 3 months, but I couldn't wait. You were right thought, when I opened the other bottles in March, April, May and June it tasted better. This year I'm trying again, with a few variations, and I'm also making your peach wine recipe but with fresh peaches from my mother's garden. Let's see how long I hold out-- I'm trying to teach myself how to use the hydrometer and try to manipulate the wine a little more next season--- a big thank you to you sir for making this simple, easy, and on a budget for me to try-- PS. my husband is enjoying the process too. He says he wishes he paid more attention in chemistry LOL-- God bless

I ran into a problem when I first started making mead that I didn't understand. I figured fruit juice was about 1.030 usually so I add 2 pounds honey per gallon. But then I used grape juice!!! I didn't check gravity on the juice first. My Hydrometer barely sank into the must haha. It was a bobber pretty much! yeast stalled right away and it was a pour out situation. I did it again recently and checked og first. one pound of honey to one gallon of grape juice is right at 1.090.. perfect!! Love the video man!! You do videos that most of the channels don't. That's why I watch! Apparently grapes have a ton of sugar on their own haha!

the amount of alcohol is subjected to the quantity of alcohol that the specific yeast can produce and how consistent that particular yeast produce the wanted level of alcohol, you can't really predict that unless your yeast is super consistent even if you pre-calculate everything

Thanks for all the videos. Love your energy, you're clearly having a good time while doing this One question i have with this method is if you do anything to help dissolve the sugar in the water/must after taking the initial SG? Do you worry about getting every grain of sugar dissolved, or will the yeast do its thing regardless?

Thank you. Exactly what I needed 😊 I noticed you said you choose to add less sugar than the calculation tells you to. I did some more reading about this, and notice one source said 1 degree on the hydrometer equals 2.7 grams of sugar per liter, but another said 2.36 grams of sugar per liter. You might try the lower value next time when calculating it? ☺️

I followed an old Jack Keller recipe for mustang grape wine and lost the recipe after he died and my record of the 4 year old batch that I just bottled. The only thing I found from Jack's recipes for mustang grape was one using grape juice. He recommends adding water to this in from a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. He also recommends starting SG of 1.09 after sugaring. I am at 1.07 SG after adding the recommended sugar. Would your calculations work without the must to find what sugar is needed to raise the ABV to 12.5%? The juice pretty well includes everything but the skin and seeds.

1lb of sugar in 1 gallon of water gives you 32 gravity points. It doesn't get any more simple.
@DIYFermentation
@DIYFermentation 2 года назад
If I were making kilju, perhaps. But with varing amounts of sugar in juice, with varing preferred starting gravities, with varying preferred abv outcomes, your calculation won't work.
@Grandpa_RLP
@Grandpa_RLP 2 года назад
@@DIYFermentation It absolutely will work. Once you determine what your starting gravity of juice/must is you use this simple formula. Target gravity - starting gravity = missing gravity points (example) 1 gallon batch. SG of must 1.048 and target gravity of 1.080 (1080 - 1048 = 32) add 1 lb of sugar to reach 1.080 of it is more or less you simply do the math to determine how much. If you know 1 lb = 32 gravity points you can easily determine how much sugar to add. It is the same thing you are doing only easier. If you are making 5 gallons multiply answer by 5. But you do you. :)

So I'm going to be doing an 9 litre batch (2.4gal) of pyment in an 11 litre (2.9gal) food safe pail, still need to drill a hole in the lid for an airlock and one on the side for a tap/faucet. I determined that 1.4 kilograms (3.09lb) of raw mixed blossom honey will make it 1.050 and top up with red grape juice, should make it 1.100 and let ferment dry, rack into secondary, stabilise and back sweeten with raw leatherwood honey and add a French oak spiral, after some time when it tastes like it doesn't need anything and it can go into bottles I will use some type of finings. It can continue to age and mellow out in bottles, I will use 750ml wine bottles with real corks and let them sit for however long in my parents wine fridge, its never plugged in but its always at a good temperature as their house is made of stone & brick and is always 'room temperature' Got it all worked out 😉🤣 Cheers.

It's kinda strange. They say, that 1% of sugar in musk gives us 0.56% of alcohol in the final product. 0.56 fits well with 19 grams of sugar to get 1 gram of alcohol, just as you say. So far so good. Now then, we take our 10 litre musk with 1000 grams of sugar in it from apples. We wanna get 16% ABV. It's 19x16=3040 grams of sugar needed. 3040-1000=2040 of sugar needed to be added into musk to get 16% ABV. But. When we add 2040 grams of sugar into 10 litres musk we will get 11.22 litres'musk because 2040 grams of sugar dissolved in sugar and added 1.22 litres to the total volume. Now, instead of 28% share of sugar (28% x 0.56 = 16% desired ABV) we get only 27% (3.040 of 11.24 is 27% of 100%).

One of the problems with brewing that I'm finding is how people are using the Imperial system and the Metric system interchangeably. We have had devastating results in rocket science because of issues like this. How can we predictably make good wine if we use liters, grams, pounds, gallons and ounces all together as units of measurement?
