Scenario: Crashed 7.5 kg of wine grape from garden I did a measurement grape juice : brix 16.7% SG 1.070 I am roughly targeting 14.4%ABV (plan to store for longer time), because i read grape wine that can be store without spoil have to be around 14%ABV, anything lower will spoil. I planned...

I am taking measuring with both brix and sg.

Hii, I just harvested grape from my own vine, it is sweet enough to eat just like that. Usually the grape should be done harvest by now, but since sun is not so good this year, harvest was delayed due to not enough sweetness. I never do a proper grape wine before (i have done many batches of...

I am trying to make glutonous rice wine, purchased the "yeast" from asian market, the "white cookie / powder" broke rice down into sugar. I have measured, it is 40%, very sweet to taste. But it just does not ferment.. the sweetness always there. I tried to pitch the champage yeast into it, it...
